Filtering
Overview
The Filters plugin allows filtering the data in the table's columns using a range of pre-defined conditions.
Note: Please keep in mind that filtered rows are excluded from a DataMap
(gets by the getData method) and they aren't rendered.
Quick setup
To enable the plugin you need to set the filters
property to true
and enable the filters dependency, which is the dropdownMenu plugin.
var dataObj = [ ['Lorem', 'ipsum', 'dolor', 'sit', '12/1/2015', 23], ['adipiscing', 'elit', 'Ut', 'imperdiet', '5/12/2015', 6], ['Pellentesque', 'vulputate', 'leo', 'semper', '10/23/2015', 26], ['diam', 'et', 'malesuada', 'libero', '12/1/2014', 98], ['orci', 'et', 'dignissim', 'hendrerit', '12/1/2016', 8.5] ];
var example1 = document.getElementById('example1'); var hot = new Handsontable(example1, { data: dataObj, columns: [ {type: 'text'}, {type: 'text'}, {type: 'text'}, {type: 'text'}, {type: 'date', dateFormat: 'M/D/YYYY'}, {type: 'numeric'} ], colHeaders: true, rowHeaders: true, dropdownMenu: true, filters: true });
Custom dropdown menu
To only display filters while hiding the other elements in the dropdown menu, pass the elements to be displayed as an array in the configuration.
var dataObj = [ ['Lorem', 'ipsum', 'dolor', 'sit', '12/1/2015', 23], ['adipiscing', 'elit', 'Ut', 'imperdiet', '5/12/2015', 6], ['Pellentesque', 'vulputate', 'leo', 'semper', '10/23/2015', 26], ['diam', 'et', 'malesuada', 'libero', '12/1/2014', 98], ['orci', 'et', 'dignissim', 'hendrerit', '12/1/2016', 8.5] ];
var example1 = document.getElementById('example2'); var hot = new Handsontable(example2, { data: dataObj, columns: [ {type: 'text'}, {type: 'text'}, {type: 'text'}, {type: 'text'}, {type: 'date', dateFormat: 'M/D/YYYY'}, {type: 'numeric'} ], colHeaders: true, rowHeaders: true, filters: true, dropdownMenu: ['filter_by_condition', 'filter_action_bar'] });
Custom implementations
The examples below will give you a good idea on how to adjust the Filter plugin to your needs. That includes customizing the UI components, changing the default behavior and using filters from the outside of the table.
Filter as you type
We placed a basic input
element inside a column’s header (A, B, C…), right below the label of the column. For a better visibility it is separated with a horizontal line. The data is being filtered as you type - with a 200 ms delay. The filter element has been excluded from the selection event so when you click on it, the column doesn’t get selected.
Please note that this demo uses a Handsontable API to a great extent.
.handsontable.as-you-type-demo tr:first-child th { vertical-align: bottom; } .handsontable.as-you-type-demo th > div.filterHeader { border-top: 1px solid #CCC; } .handsontable.as-you-type-demo th > div.filterHeader > input { width: calc(100% - 10px); box-shadow: none; border: 1px solid #CCC; margin-top: 1px; }
var dataObj = [ ['Lorem', 'ipsum', 'dolor', 'sit', '12/1/2015', 23], ['adipiscing', 'elit', 'Ut', 'imperdiet', '5/12/2015', 6], ['Pellentesque', 'vulputate', 'leo', 'semper', '10/23/2015', 26], ['diam', 'et', 'malesuada', 'libero', '12/1/2014', 98], ['orci', 'et', 'dignissim', 'hendrerit', '12/1/2016', 8.5] ];
// Event for `keydown` event. Add condition after delay of 200 ms which is counted from time of last pressed key. var debounceFn = Handsontable.helper.debounce(function (colIndex, event) { var filtersPlugin = hot.getPlugin('filters'); filtersPlugin.removeConditions(colIndex); filtersPlugin.addCondition(colIndex, 'contains', [event.target.value]); filtersPlugin.filter(); }, 200); var addEventListeners = function (input, colIndex) { input.addEventListener('keydown', function(event) { debounceFn(colIndex, event); }); }; // Build elements which will be displayed in header. var getInitializedElements = function(colIndex) { var div = document.createElement('div'); var input = document.createElement('input'); div.className = 'filterHeader'; addEventListeners(input, colIndex); div.appendChild(input); return div; }; // Add elements to header on `afterGetColHeader` hook. var addInput = function(col, TH) { // Hooks can return value other than number (for example `columnSorting` plugin use this). if (typeof col !== 'number') { return col; } if (col >= 0 && TH.childElementCount < 2) { TH.appendChild(getInitializedElements(col)); } }; // Deselect column after click on input. var doNotSelectColumn = function (event, coords) { if (coords.row === -1 && event.target.nodeName === 'INPUT') { event.stopImmediatePropagation(); this.deselectCell(); } }; var hot = new Handsontable(document.getElementById('example3'), { data: dataObj, colHeaders: true, rowHeaders: true, className: 'as-you-type-demo', filters: true, colWidths: 100, afterGetColHeader: addInput, beforeOnCellMouseDown: doNotSelectColumn });
Filter from the outside the table
The external Filter component is controlling the main table by passing values for particular columns. Only a fraction of the code is related with Handsontable API (e.g. addConditionsByValue
, filter
, removeConditions
). A significantly more glue code handles the Filter component itself.
Please mind that selecting a column in the Filter component resets the state of the table. This implementation can filter only one column at a time.
