When click then adding the active class but Isotope.js filter not working

I am using isotope plugin. According to documentation, I tried the below code but it's not working. When I click on then it's adding the active class but filter not working.

Where is the issue in this?

$('.grid-container-projects').isotope({
  itemSelector: '.grid-item',
  layoutMode: 'fitRows'
});
$('.categoryGrid ul li').click(function() {
  $('.categoryGrid ul li').removeClass('active');
  $(this).addClass('active');

  var selector = $(this).attr('data-filter');
  //alert(selector);
  $('.grid-container-projects').isotope({
    // options
    itemSelector: selector
  });

  return false;
});

.categoryGrid ul {
  list-style: none;
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: space-between;
}

.categoryGrid ul li {
  background-color: #dd223d;
  color: #fff;
  padding: 10px 30px;
  -webkit-transition: background-color 2s ease-out;
  -moz-transition: background-color 2s ease-out;
  -o-transition: background-color 2s ease-out;
  transition: background-color 2s ease-out;
}

.grid-container-projects {
  width: 100%;
}

.grid-container-projects .grid-item {
  text-align: center;
  height: 300px;
  width: 31%;
  margin-right: 15px;
  margin-bottom: 15px;
}

.projectsListbg {
  background-size: cover;
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
  background-position: center;
  width: 100%;
  height: 300px;
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: center;
  box-shadow: 0 0 11px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);
}

.grid-container-projects h3,
.grid-container-projects h5 {
  color: #fff;
}

Solution

I think you used wrong documentation. Use this one for jQuery : https://isotope.metafizzy.co/filtering.html

var $grid = $('.grid-container-projects').isotope({
  itemSelector: '.grid-item',
  layoutMode: 'fitRows'
});

// filter items on button click
$('.categoryGrid ul li').click(function() {
  $('.categoryGrid ul li').removeClass('active');
  $(this).addClass('active');
  
  var filterValue = $(this).attr('data-filter');
  $grid.isotope({ filter: filterValue });
});

.categoryGrid ul {
  list-style: none;
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: space-between;
}

.categoryGrid ul li {
  background-color: #dd223d;
  color: #fff;
  padding: 10px 30px;
  -webkit-transition: background-color 2s ease-out;
  -moz-transition: background-color 2s ease-out;
  -o-transition: background-color 2s ease-out;
  transition: background-color 2s ease-out;
}

.grid-container-projects {
  width: 100%;
}

.grid-container-projects .grid-item {
  text-align: center;
  height: 300px;
  width: 31%;
  margin-right: 15px;
  margin-bottom: 15px;
}

.projectsListbg {
  background-size: cover;
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
  background-position: center;
  width: 100%;
  height: 300px;
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: center;
  box-shadow: 0 0 11px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);
}

.grid-container-projects h3,
.grid-container-projects h5 {
  color: #fff;
}

<div class="categoryGrid">
  <ul>
    <li class="active" data-filter="*">All</li>
    <li data-filter=".home">Home</li>
    <li data-filter=".music">Music</li>
