Argument Type Description
filterFn Function The predicate used to filter the elements.
dependencies (optional) Object Functions, variables, or objects passed to the filterFn function.

The filterFn predicate is executed on the client side and accepts the following parameters:

Parameter Description
node The current DOM node.
idx Index of the current node among other nodes in the matched set. 
Selector('ul').filter((node, idx) => {
    // node === a <ul> node

The dependencies parameter allows you to pass objects to the filterFn client-side scope where they appear as variables.

Selector('ul').filter((node, idx) => {
    return isNodeOk(node, idx);
}, { isNodeOk });
