# react-bootstrap-table2-filter
`react-bootstrap-table2` separate the filter core code base to [`react-bootstrap-table2-filter`](https://github.com/react-bootstrap-table/react-bootstrap-table2/tree/develop/packages/react-bootstrap-table2-filter), so there's a little bit different when you use column filter than `react-bootstrap-table`. In the following, we are going to show you how to enable the column filter:

## Install
```sh
$ npm install react-bootstrap-table2-filter --save
```
You can get all types of filters via import and these filters are a factory function to create a individual filter instance. Currently, we support following filters:
* TextFilter
* SelectFilter
* **Coming soon!**
## Add CSS
```js
// es5
require('react-bootstrap-table2-filter/dist/react-bootstrap-table2-filter.min.css');
// es6
import 'react-bootstrap-table2-filter/dist/react-bootstrap-table2-filter.min.css';
```
## Text Filter
Following is a quick demo for enable the column filter on **Product Price** column!!
```js
import filterFactory, { textFilter } from 'react-bootstrap-table2-filter';
// omit...
const columns = [
..., {
dataField: 'price',
text: 'Product Price',
filter: textFilter()
}];
```
In addition, we preserve all of the filter features and functionality in legacy `react-bootstrap-table`, but in different way to do it:
```js
import filterFactory, { textFilter, Comparator } from 'react-bootstrap-table2-filter';
// omit...
const priceFilter = textFilter({
placeholder: 'My Custom PlaceHolder', // custom the input placeholder
className: 'my-custom-text-filter', // custom classname on input
defaultValue: 'test', // default filtering value
comparator: Comparator.EQ, // default is Comparator.LIKE
style: { ... }, // your custom styles on input
delay: 1000 // how long will trigger filtering after user typing, default is 500 ms
});
// omit...
```
## Select Filter
A quick example:
```js
import filterFactory, { selectFilter } from 'react-bootstrap-table2-filter';
// omit...
const selectOptions = {
0: 'good',
1: 'Bad',
2: 'unknown'
};
const columns = [
..., {
dataField: 'quality',
text: 'Product Quailty',
formatter: cell => selectOptions[cell],
filter: selectFilter({
options: selectOptions
})
}];
```
Following is an example for custom select filter:
```js
import filterFactory, { selectFilter, Comparator } from 'react-bootstrap-table2-filter';
// omit...
const qualityFilter = selectFilter({
options: selectOptions,
placeholder: 'My Custom PlaceHolder', // custom the input placeholder
className: 'my-custom-text-filter', // custom classname on input
defaultValue: '2', // default filtering value
comparator: Comparator.LIKE, // default is Comparator.EQ
style: { ... }, // your custom styles on input
withoutEmptyOption: true // hide the default select option
});
// omit...
```
