Filter Menu Items in AngularJS

Environment

Product	Progress® Kendo UI® Menu for jQuery
Product Version	Created with the 2019.1.220 version

Starting with R2 2022, the Kendo UI team officially drops the support for AngularJS 1.x through Kendo UI for jQuery. The AngularJS related files and functionality are removed from the bundles and distribution in R3 SP1 2023. The last version that contains the files is R3 2023.

Description

How can I have an Angular filter function for the Menu items?

Solution

In the dataSource, use the text property of the Menu item.

The example loads Kendo UI 2023.3.1010 version.

	  <script src="https://kendo.cdn.telerik.com/2023.3.1010/js/angular.min.js"></script>
	  <script src="https://kendo.cdn.telerik.com/2023.3.1010/js/kendo.all.min.js"></script>
    
    <div class="demo-section k-content" ng-controller="MyCtrl">
      <h4 style="padding-top: 2em;">Preview</h4>
      <ul kendo-menu
        k-orientation="menu.menuOptions.menuOrientation"
        k-rebind="menu.menuOptions"
        k-options="menu.menuOptions">
      </ul>
    </div>

    <script>
      angular.module("KendoDemos", [ "kendo.directives" ])
        .controller("MyCtrl", function($scope){
        $scope.menu = { menuOptions: {
          menuOrientation: "horizontal",
          scrollable: true,
          openOnClick: { openOnClick: true },
          showOn: "click",
          filter: true,
          dataSource: [
            {
              text: "2nd Item",
              cssClass: "myClass",
              items: [
                {text: "<input type='text' class='form-control' ng-click='$event.stopPropagation()' placeholder='Search by Typing Item Name' ng-model='search2'>", encoded: false},
                {text: "<div ng-repeat=\"i in menuItemList2 | filter: search2\"></div>", encoded: false}
              ]
            },
            {
              text: "First Item",
              cssClass: "myClass",
              items: [
                { text: "<input type='text' class='form-control' ng-click='$event.stopPropagation()' placeholder='Search by Typing Item Name' ng-model='search1'>", encoded: false },
                {text: "<div ng-repeat=\"i in menuItemList1 | filter: search1\"></div>", encoded: false}
              ]
            }
          ]
        },
        listItems:[
          {menuItems:[
            {items:[
              {text: "Item 1"},
              {text: "Item 2"}]
            },
            {items:[
              {text: "Item 12"},
              {text: "Item 22"}]
            }
          ]}
        ]};

        $scope.menuItemList1 = $scope.menu.listItems[0].menuItems[0].items;
        $scope.menuItemList2 = $scope.menu.listItems[0].menuItems[1].items
      })
    </script>
