I am attempting to populate an html table using an angular request to an API using the ng-repeat directive. The html page loads first then the request is made to get the data which fills the table when the response is returned. When I add a filter to the ng-repeat directive the table is populated and the filter functions, however in my chrome browser console I get the following error:
Error: [filter:notarray] Expected array but received: {} http://errors.angularjs.org/1.4.3/filter/notarray?p0=%7B%7D at REGEX_STRING_REGEXP (angular.js:68) at angular.js:18251 at Object.fn (app.js:185) at Scope.$get.Scope.$digest (angular.js:15683) at Scope.$get.Scope.$apply (angular.js:15951) at bootstrapApply (angular.js:1633) at Object.invoke (angular.js:4450) at doBootstrap (angular.js:1631) at bootstrap (angular.js:1651) at angularInit (angular.js:1545)
I have set a sample up on plunker, the error is also displayed in the console here when the sample is run:

The html:

<h3>Sample - Expected array error</h3> Filter
<input type="text" id="quoteListFilter" class="form-control" ng- model="search" />
<div ng-controller="QuoteController">
<table class="table table-bordered">

<th>Specification</th>

</tr>
<tr ng-repeat="quote in quotes | filter:search">
<td>{{quote.SpecificationDetails}}</td>
<td>{{quote.Quantity}}</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
</body>
</html>
The javascript:
var inventoryManagerApp = angular.module('inventoryManagerApp', [
'ngResource',
'quoteControllers'
]);
var quoteControllers = angular.module('quoteControllers', []);
quoteControllers.controller("QuoteController", ['$scope', 'filterFilter', 'quoteRepository',
function($scope, filterFilter, quoteRepository) {
$scope.quotes = quoteRepository.getQuoteList().$promise.then(
function (result) {
$scope.quotes = result;
},
function () {
}
);
}
]);
inventoryManagerApp.factory('quoteRepository',
function($resource) {
return {
getQuoteList: function() {
return $resource('http://drbsample.azurewebsites.net/api/Quotes').query();
}
};
});
It seems to be something to do with the data to fill the ng-repeat directive not being immediately available on page load. When I replace the $scope.quotes with the json data on page load instead of requesting data from the API do not get the error.

The problem is with this assignment:
$scope.quotes = quoteRepository.getQuoteList().$promise.then(
function (result) {
$scope.quotes = result;
},
function () {
}
);
Function .then() returns another promise object to allow chaining: .then().then(), and because it returns an object that's why your receive notarray error.
To avoid reference error you can specify $scope.quotes as empty arrray earlier, then assign results to it.
$scope.quotes = [];
quoteRepository.getQuoteList().$promise.then(
function (result) {
$scope.quotes = result;
},
function () {
}
);
