  • [ ] support request Ask in the official Ember Discord server.

• What is the current behavior?
  The globalFilter do not get updated when consumer of EMT passes filterString case, because of when the get filterString is evaluated the this.args.filterString always exists. So we can never get the updated value in the filterString
  

Note: This is the same case for all the places where local tracked variable is used for tracking the state.

• If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce and if possible a minimal demo of the problem
  The filterString do not get updated if user provides a filterString SparshithNR/ember-models-table#1

pull the change or make the same changes to local clone from above. Visit: http://localhost:4201/#/examples/block-usage

Try to update the string.
Put a debugger at the get and set for the filterString.

• The fix is to change the how _filterString is being setup.

 @tracked 
 protected _filterString = this.args.filterString ?? ''; 
 protected get filterString(): string { 
   return this._filterString; 
 } 
 protected set filterString(v: string) { 
   this._filterString = v; 
 } 

or

 @trackedReset('args.filterString')
 protected _filterString = this.args.filterString ?? ''; 
 protected get filterString(): string { 
   return this._filterString; 
 } 
 protected set filterString(v: string) { 
   this._filterString = v; 
 }

Hello, @SparshithNR
onDisplayDataChanged-action should be used to update initial values for fields like filterString, currentPageNumber, pageSize etc.
Please check sources of https://onechiporenko.github.io/ember-models-table/v.5/plain-html/#/examples/query-params

So the idea is if value is passed in once, the consumer of EMT is responsible to handle it.
