implementing air-table style filtering?

rfuiszrfuisz Posts: 2Questions: 1Answers: 0

is there any way to implement a filter like what you get in airtable? airtable lets you click "filter", where it drops down a window which allows you to set filter conditions in the format:

Where [Column Name X] [contains] ["query string"]

and then once that is filled, gives an option [+ Add filter] beneath it to add additional filters

I've included a screenshot of this too.

It seems pretty clear that datatables doesn't have built in support for this, but its just such a darn clean UX for filtering that I'd love to be able to implement it.

    Hang tight! We are working on a search builder extension at the moment :). Not sure when it will be ready for release as it is still fairly early stages, but Sandy is working on it full time and making rapid progress. Keep an eye on the blog for its release.

    p.s. Worth noting that it isn't an AirTables filter clone - we've got our own ideas of how to do this, but looking at your screenshot there is certainly some overlap.

    awesome! I'll be looking out for it.

    If you can give any clues as to how you're thinking about implementing, i'd love a sneak peek :)
