Filterable: Add a data-no-filter attribute

[carsonip]

This is a feature request.
Add a data-no-filter attribute like this such that the list item will always show in both normal and reveal mode

<ul data-role="listview" data-filter="true" data-input="#filterBasic-input">
    <li data-no-filter="true">Acura</li>
    <li>Audi</li>
    <li>BMW</li>
    <li>Cadillac</li>
    <li>Ferrari</li>
</ul>

It is useful when we use a library like jqm-tinysort which inserts list items which are not intended for filtering.

@carsonip Thank you for the suggestion this is already easily possible you just need to use a custom filter callback. ( this was also already suggested in the stack overflow post ) You can see a working example here. http://jsbin.com/vatuwo/edit?html,js,output we generally don't add new options when the desired effect is something easily achieved through an existing option.

I will admit this seems like a general enough case i will leave this open for others to comment on though.

@arschmitz Thanks for the quick reply and you are right.

How about an item that will always show up in reveal mode (with unknown index)? I neither handled that. It will not show up when the content of search is empty. This does not seem to be easy without modifying the jQM code.

Would it be easier for users if we have something like a data-no-filter attribute?

PR is #8185

[carsonip]

@gabrielschulhof I have updated some code, should I make a new PR?

[apsdehal]

@carsonip @gabrielschulhof Any updates on this?

[carsonip]

@apsdehal the PR is #8185 with the updates, I have not worked on this since Jul 11, 2015 tho. I thought @arschmitz said you guys will implement it in a different way. Actually is this now implemented?

[arschmitz]

We still plan on doing this just not sure of exact implementation it will probably go into 1.6
