The filter() method requires the following parameters:

transition	Select a transition type. ‘fade’ \| null
speed	The speed of the transition, in milliseconds. e.g. ‘300’
data	The data() object that holds the parameters for updating.

// Click Handler Function

function clickHandler(){

var transition = 'fade';

var speed = 250;

var data = this.dataset;

// Call Ajax Load More `filter` method

ajaxloadmore.filter(transition, speed, data);

}

// Get All Filter Buttons

var buttons = document.querySelectorAll('ul.filters button');

if(buttons){

// Loop each button and add click event

[].forEach.call(buttons, function(button) {

button.addEventListener('click', clickHandler);

});

}

<li>

<button type="button" data-post-type="portfolio" data-button-label="More Work">Recent Work</button>

</li>

<li>

<button type="button" data-post-type="post" data-button-label="More Posts">Recent Work</button>

</li>

</ul>

Note: When filtering, underscores in shortcode attributes must be converted to dashes.
e.g. button_label = button-label

button.addEventListener('click', function(e){

ajaxloadmore.reset();

});

getTotalPosts

ajaxloadmore.getTotalPosts() – This function will return the total number of posts in the entire query by ALM instance ID.

// [ajax_load_more id="portfolio"]

var count = ajaxloadmore.getPostCount('portfolio');
