Hello, I use a dropdown to filter a repeater.  
The repeater is hidden when the page is loaded and the user must select the dropdown first to get the result through the repeater.

I don’t manage to filter the repeater properly.

I’d tried for 1 week unsuccessfully, please help!!!

I use 2 database: 1 for the repeater and 1 for the dropdown

Here the codes:

import wixData **from** ‘wix-data’;  
$w.onReady( **function** () {});  
**let** selectedType = “”  
export function dropdown2\_change(event) {  
**if** ($w(‘#dropdown2’).value)  
$w(‘#repeater1’).show();  
**else** {  
$w(‘#repeater1’).hide();  
}  
wixData.query(“MyDropdownCollection”)  
.eq(“title”, $w(‘#dropdown2’).value)  
.find()  
.then((results) =\> {  
**let** firstItem = results.items[0]  
selectedType = firstItem.\_id;  
wixData.query(“MyRepeaterCollection”)  
.eq(“title”, selectedType)  
.find()  
.then((results) =\> {  
$w(‘#repeater1’).data = results = results.items;  
})  
. **catch** ( (err) =\> {  
**let** errormsg = err;  
} );  
});  
}

Thanks!  
Mikael
