External Data Source for Custom Filter

Description of problem:

Hello,

I have the data object populating to the table and I am using rowGroup to group by Team. I have an external data source that isn't populating to the table, but I want to use it to help create a certain filter. I have another variable currentUser which in my actual application is a dynamic value. In this case, the current user is "Player 6", and in the teamData Player 6 is in "Team 2". So I would want the filter to only show results of trainings for Team 2.

I have another variable currentUser which in my actual application is a dynamic value.

When you set currentUser to a value, Player 6 for example, you will need to loop through teamData to find the team number then set a variable, currentTeam for example that is used in the search plugin to filter the rows. See this example:

Since its a Javascript exercise I'll leave it to you to write the code in getTeam() to loop through your data structure. Currently its hard codes to return Team 2.

@kthorngren thanks for your input, I ended up with the following:

function getTeam() {

const team = teamData
  .find(team => team.Players.includes(currentUser));
    return team.Team;
}

var currentUser = "Player 6";
var currentTeam = getTeam(currentUser)
