Filter data from promise instead of array

[MHDMAM]

is there a way to get the items array from a promise function?

What i'm trying to do is get the search term from ionFilterBar and call my backend server to get the the array that i need to pass to items array.

Thanks

$scope.showFilterBar = function(){
filterBarInstance = $ionicFilterBar.show({
items: $scope.items,
update: function (filteredItems, filterText) {

filterText is what you are looking for may be.

Update function Called after the items are filtered I don't think it would work.

Thanks anyway.

I think the items will have to contain all the items to be filtered prior to, yes and then the update function will be have the filteredItems.
