AngularJS ng-show , ng-hide - angularjs

Question

I have an AgularJS search using a filter, which works. I now want the filter to only show results that match the filter.
So, I want the initial data load to not show, if my typed in filter matches, then show the results.
Here is my code so far:
<div class="row">
<div class="large-12 columns">
<div ng-app>
<div ng-controller="CashTransController">
<input type="text" ng-model="search.$">
<br />
<div><strong>Filter Results</strong></div>
<br />
<div class="row"></div>
<br/>
<table border="0" class="items">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Purchaser</th>
<th>Redemption Code</th>
<th>Amount</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr ng-repeat="item in items | filter:search">
<td>{{item.firstname}} {{item.lastname}}</td>
<td valign="top"><h3>{{item.redemption_code}}</h3></td>
<td><h3>{{item.creation_date}}</h3></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<br />
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>

Answer 1

You could simply add a ng-show to the table items.
I don't know why you called your search model search.$ and not just search.
Try this code. It will only show the results if you typed something into the input:
<div class="row">
<div class="large-12 columns">
<input type="text" ng-model="search">
<br/>
<div><strong>Filter Results</strong></div>
<br/>
<div class="row">
<p>{{search}}</p>
</div>
<br/>
<table border="0" class="items">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Purchaser</th>
<th>Redemption Code</th>
<th>Amount</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr ng-show="search" ng-repeat="item in items | filter:search">
<td>{{item.firstname}} {{item.lastname}}</td>
<td valign="top"><h3>{{item.redemption_code}}</h3></td>
<td><h3>{{item.creation_date}}</h3></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<br/>
</div>
</div>
