Feature: data filtering about active-table HOT 9 CLOSED

Hi @sbachiller, a filter feature is currently on this project's roadmap and is something that I am planning to do in the very near future. Unfortunately because it involves quite a few changes in the code - its priority has been shifted back by smaller changes that are important to get out of the way first before we announce the official release for active-table.

I cannot set an exact date for when this feature will be added as it could range between the next month to the one after, but it is one of the next big features I will be working on (and I will try to prioritise this over others). I will add updates to this issue when I will be working on this to keep you up to date.

Once again, @sbachiller thankyou very much for being one of the early adapters of active-table and your feedback is always appreciated!!

I will temporarily close this issue and reopen it when working on the feature. Thanks!

I will begin working on this feature on the following branch - data-filtering.

As mentioned previously - this feature may take me a while to complete as I want to optimise its UX and maximise its performance for large datasets before releasing it. Please view the branch for the latest updates. Thanks!

This feature is supported from component version 0.3.5. Please read here for more information.

Hi! Sorry for the delay. What I meant was, in the select column types, add a filter in order to search through the options. Sorry and thank you.

Ohhhhhhh I see what you mean now. Ok, that is an interesting feature! I have currently prioritised a few other features at the moment (as well as work in other projects) but I will definitely consider adding it in the future! Thankyou very much for this great suggestion!

Hey @sbachiller, I was wondering if instead of filtering the options, could the users gain some benefit by having the options being automatically sorted in an alphabetical order? It would help them find the option they are looking for quicker.

Hello there!

That’s something I am already doing through Angular before passing the array to the table. If it is difficult to implement maybe some sort of typeahead mechanism would do the job too.

Thanks again

Alphabetical sorting was something that I could have implemented quickly, but if it doesn't yield that much of a benefit I will look into other approaches.

Typeahead is a really interesting idea! It could be the one.

I was wondering if there are any examples that you may have come across which offer the UX you are looking for, it may help decide on the best approach.

If you haven't don't worry, as it will take me a bit of time before I can tackle this, but it would of course be great to have a concrete goal when starting work on this! Let me know if anything pops up!
