I have created a demo website to sell products to customers. This website uses filters/search/sort etc to ease navigating through different products. The issue I have is related to filtering and search. I want to make my filters such that they work on the result of search. I have attempted this using checkboxes and the computed properties in Vue.
HTML
<div id="app">
<h5>Search</h5>
<input type="text" v-model="search" placeholder="Search title.."/><br><br>
<h5>Filter</h5>
<li v-for="filter in possibleFilters" :key="filter">
<label>
<input type="checkbox" @change="toggleFilter(filter)" :checked="filters.includes(filter)">
<span >{{filter}}</span>
</label>
</li>
<div class="block" v-for="(product, index) in filteredSearch">
<hr>
<h3>{{product.name}}</h3>
<p>Price: £{{product.price}}</p>
<p>Location: {{product.location}}</p>
<hr>
</div>
</div>
JavaScript
new Vue({
el: "#app",
data: {
filters: [],
search: "",
products: [{
name: "milk",
location: "London",
price: 100
},
{
name: "oranges",
location: "Birmingham",
price: 80
},
{
name: "apples",
location: "Edinburgh",
price: 90
},
{
name: "bananas",
location: "Paris",
price: 120
},
{
name: "bread",
location: "Paris",
price: 110
},
{
name: "water",
location: "Oslo",
price: 90
},
{
name: "soda",
location: "London",
price: 90
},
{
name: "tea",
location: "Oslo",
price: 120
},
{
name: "bakedbeans",
location: "Oslo",
price: 140
}
],
},
methods: {
toggleFilter(newFilter) {
this.filters = !this.filters.includes(newFilter) ?
[...this.filters, newFilter] :
this.filters.filter(f => f !== newFilter)
}
},
computed: {
possibleFilters() {
return [...new Set(this.filteredSearch.map(x => x.location))]
},
filteredSearch() {
return this.products.filter(p => {
var searchProduct = p.name.toLowerCase().includes(this.search.toLowerCase());
var filterProduct = this.filters.length == 0 || this.filters.includes(p.location);
return searchProduct && filterProduct
})
}
},
})
The problem is I cannot select the filter more than once. The filter is based on the location, my goal is to be able to apply the filter more than once. At the moment I can only select one filter at a time.
i.e if I search for "l" it returns milk and apples, the filters shows London and Edinburgh, I can only select either London or Edinburgh but not both. If I select London, it should only show me "Milk" while still showing me the option of 'Edinburgh' and when I select both it should show me both "Milk" and "Apples"

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.
Here a quick and dirty solution based on your fiddle. Just to give you an idea how to separate both filters. Try the solution here https://jsfiddle.net/4839spkx/
possibleFilters() {
// we have some input, so show all location filters available in the filtered by input products
if (this.search) {
const filteredByInput = this.products.filter(p => p.name.includes(this.search.toLowerCase()))
return [...new Set(filteredByInput.map(p => p.location))]
}
return [...new Set(this.filteredSearch.map(x => x.location))]
},
