Angularjs $filter usage inside a custom filter

Question

I have a custom filter with a $filter dependency:

app.filter('getRange',[ '$filter', function($filter) {
    return function(data, data2) {
        console.log(data); //this is empty
        var result = $filter('3dparty_filter')(data,data2);
        var another_var = $filter('another_filter')(result);
        //do smth.
    }
}]);

For some reason the arguments(data, data2) of the filter are empty. However, if I remove the $filter dependency

app.filter('getRange',function() {
    return function(data, data2) {
         console.log(data); //this works, data is not empty.
       // var result = $filter('3dparty_filter')(data,data2);
       // var another_var = $filter('another_filter')(result);
       //do smth.

    }
});

everything works fine (i.e. data and data2 args are passed correctly). Could you please advise on how to properly inject $filter in my case or why the args are empty and how to fix that?

Please see example here http://jsbin.com/ticoho/1/edit?html,js,console,output evrything is fine. Double check your html or there is a problem with 3rd part filters

app.filter('getRange',['$filter',  function($filter) {
    return function(data, data2) {
      console.log(data);
      console.log(data2);
        return $filter('json')(data);

    };
}]);

I'm sorry if I did not clarified it. I need to use $filter inside my custom filter. Unfortunately, your code is wrong as $filter is not injected therefore ReferenceError arises.
