An extension for the JavaFX TableView that adds the possibility of applying a filter to the column headers

<dependency>
        <groupId>com.github.maimart</groupId>
        <artifactId>TableFilterFX</artifactId>
        <version>1.0.0</version>
</dependency>

The implementation of the filter is quite easy. You wrap your TableView with the TableFilter and add the columns that should be filterd by tableFilter.filterColumn(TableColumn column)

######1 Build your TableView like usual by code or fxml

TableView<Pojo> table = new TableView<>();
table.getItems().addAll(pojoList);
TableColumn<Pojo, String> columnA = new TableColumn<>("ColA");
TableColumn<Pojo, String> columnB = new TableColumn<>("ColB");
table.getColumns().add(columnA);
table.getColumns().add(columnB);	
..

######2 After that apply the filter

TableFilter<Pojo> tableFilter = new TableFilter<>(table);
tableFilter.filterColumn(columnA);
tableFilter.filterColumn(columnB);

❕ You can initialize the table data by using TableView.getItems(), but you must not bind the TableView.itemsProperty(). If you want to bind the table data use the TableFilter.unfilteredItemsProperty() instead.

This is a early version of the filter. If you find any bugs please feel free to create an issue. I´m glad to every reported bug.

• Deployment on center maven repository will come soon
• Improve performance on big lists (10k+)
• Intensive testing of the filter will happen in nearest future
