react-bootstrap-table2-filter

react-bootstrap-table2 separate the filter core code base to 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

$ 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
• MultiSelectFilter
• NumberFilter
• DateFilter
• CustomFilter
• Coming soon!

Add CSS

// 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!!

import filterFactory, { textFilter } from 'react-bootstrap-table2-filter';
 
// omit...
const columns = [
  ..., {
  dataField: 'price',
  text: 'Product Price',
  filter: textFilter()
}];
 
<BootstrapTable keyField='id' data={ products } columns={ columns } filter={ filterFactory() } />

In addition, we preserve all of the filter features and functionality in legacy react-bootstrap-table, but in different way to do it:

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
  caseSensitive: true, // default is false, and true will only work when comparator is LIKE
  style: { ... }, // your custom styles on input
  delay: 1000, // how long will trigger filtering after user typing, default is 500 ms
  id: 'id', // assign a unique value for htmlFor attribute, it's useful when you have same dataField across multiple table in one page
});
 
// omit...

Select Filter

A quick example:

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
  })
}];
 
<BootstrapTable keyField='id' data={ products } columns={ columns } filter={ filterFactory() } />

Following is an example for custom select filter:

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
  id: 'id', // assign a unique value for htmlFor attribute, it's useful when you have same dataField across multiple table in one page
});
 
// omit...

Note, the selectOptions can be an array or a function which return an array:

Array as options

const selectOptions = [
  { value: 0, label: 'good' },
  { value: 1, label: 'Bad' },
  { value: 2, label: 'unknown' }
];
const columns = [
  ..., {
  dataField: 'quality',
  text: 'Product Quailty',
  formatter: cell => selectOptions.find(opt => opt.value === cell).label,
  filter: selectFilter({
    options: selectOptions
  })
}];

Function as options

const selectOptions = [
  { value: 0, label: 'good' },
  { value: 1, label: 'Bad' },
  { value: 2, label: 'unknown' }
];
const columns = [
  ..., {
  dataField: 'quality',
  text: 'Product Quailty',
  formatter: cell => selectOptions.find(opt => opt.value === cell).label,
  filter: selectFilter({
    options: () => selectOptions
  })
}];

The benifit is react-bootstrap-table2 will render the select options by the order of array.

MultiSelect Filter

A quick example:

import filterFactory, { multiSelectFilter } 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: multiSelectFilter({
    options: selectOptions
  })
}];
 
<BootstrapTable keyField='id' data={ products } columns={ columns } filter={ filterFactory() } />

Following is an example for custom select filter:

import filterFactory, { multiSelectFilter, Comparator } from 'react-bootstrap-table2-filter';
// omit...
 
const qualityFilter = multiSelectFilter({
  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
  id: 'id', // assign a unique value for htmlFor attribute, it's useful when you have same dataField across multiple table in one page
});
 
// omit...

Number Filter

import filterFactory, { numberFilter } from 'react-bootstrap-table2-filter';
 
const columns = [..., {
  dataField: 'price',
  text: 'Product Price',
  filter: numberFilter()
}];
 
<BootstrapTable keyField='id' data={ products } columns={ columns } filter={ filterFactory() } />

Numner filter is same as other filter, you can custom the number filter via numberFilter factory function:

import filterFactory, { selectFilter, Comparator, numberFilter } from 'react-bootstrap-table2-filter';
// omit...
 
const numberFilter = numberFilter({
  options: [2100, 2103, 2105],  // if options defined, will render number select instead of number input
  delay: 600,  // how long will trigger filtering after user typing, default is 500 ms
  placeholder: 'custom placeholder',  // placeholder for number input
  withoutEmptyComparatorOption: true,  // dont render empty option for comparator
  withoutEmptyNumberOption: true,  // dont render empty option for numner select if it is defined
  comparators: [Comparator.EQ, Comparator.GT, Comparator.LT],  // Custom the comparators
  style: { display: 'inline-grid' },  // custom the style on number filter
  className: 'custom-numberfilter-class',  // custom the class on number filter
  comparatorStyle: { backgroundColor: 'antiquewhite' }, // custom the style on comparator select
  comparatorClassName: 'custom-comparator-class',  // custom the class on comparator select
  numberStyle: { backgroundColor: 'cadetblue', margin: '0px' },  // custom the style on number input/select
  numberClassName: 'custom-number-class',  // custom the class on ber input/select
  defaultValue: { number: 2103, comparator: Comparator.GT }  // default value
  id: 'id', // assign a unique value for htmlFor attribute, it's useful when you have same dataField across multiple table in one page
})
 
// omit...

Date Filter

import filterFactory, { dateFilter } from 'react-bootstrap-table2-filter';
 
const columns = [..., {
  dataField: 'date',
  text: 'Product date',
  filter: dateFilter()
}];
 
<BootstrapTable keyField='id' data={ products } columns={ columns } filter={ filterFactory() } />

Notes: date filter accept a Javascript Date object in your raw data and you have to use column.formatter to make it as your prefer string result

Date filter is same as other filter, you can custom the date filter via dateFilter factory function:

import filterFactory, { selectFilter, Comparator } from 'react-bootstrap-table2-filter';
// omit...
 
const dateFilter = dateFilter({
  delay: 600,  // how long will trigger filtering after user typing, default is 500 ms
  placeholder: 'custom placeholder',  // placeholder for date input
  withoutEmptyComparatorOption: true,  // dont render empty option for comparator
  comparators: [Comparator.EQ, Comparator.GT, Comparator.LT],  // Custom the comparators
  style: { display: 'inline-grid' },  // custom the style on date filter
  className: 'custom-dateFilter-class',  // custom the class on date filter
  comparatorStyle: { backgroundColor: 'antiquewhite' }, // custom the style on comparator select
  comparatorClassName: 'custom-comparator-class',  // custom the class on comparator select
  dateStyle: { backgroundColor: 'cadetblue', margin: '0px' },  // custom the style on date input
  dateClassName: 'custom-date-class',  // custom the class on date input
  defaultValue: { date: new Date(2018, 0, 1), comparator: Comparator.GT }  // default value
  id: 'id', // assign a unique value for htmlFor attribute, it's useful when you have same dataField across multiple table in one page
})
 
// omit...

Custom Filter

import filterFactory, { customFilter } from 'react-bootstrap-table2-filter';
 
const columns = [..., {
  dataField: 'date',
  text: 'Product Name',
  filter: customFilter(),
  filterRenderer: (onFilter, column) => .....
}];
 
<BootstrapTable keyField='id' data={ products } columns={ columns } filter={ filterFactory() } />

In custom filter case, you are suppose to finish following two steps:

1. Call customFilter and pass to column.filter
2. Give column.filterRenderer as a callback function and return your custom filter element.

column.filterRenderer

This function will pass two argument to you:

1. onFilter: call it to trigger filter when you need.
2. column: Just the column object!

In the end, please remember to return your custom filter element!

customFilter

customFilter function just same as textFilter, selectFilter etc, it is for customization reason. However, in the custom filter case, there's only one props is valid: type

import filterFactory, { FILTER_TYPES } from 'react-bootstrap-table2-filter';
 
const customFilter = customFilter({
  type: FILTER_TYPES.NUMBER,  // default is FILTER_TYPES.TEXT
})

type is a way to ask react-bootstrap-table to filter you data as number, select, date or normal text.

FILTER_TYPES

Following properties is valid in FILTER_TYPES:

• TEXT
• SELECT
• NUMBER
• DATE
• MULTISELECT

Position

Default filter is rendered inside the table column header, but you can choose to render them as a row by filterPosition:

Render in the top of table body

<BootstrapTable
  keyField='id'
  data={ products }
  columns={ columns }
  filter={ filterFactory() }
  filterPosition="top"
/>

Render in the bottom of table body

<BootstrapTable
  keyField='id'
  data={ products }
  columns={ columns }
  filter={ filterFactory() }
  filterPosition="bottom"
/>

Configuration

filterFactory is a factory function for initializing some internal config. Below is available options for filterFactory:

afterFilter

This hook function will be called with two arguments(new filter result and filter object) when filtering completed.

function afterFilter(newResult, newFilters) {
  console.log(newResult);
  console.log(newFilters);
}
 
export default () => (
  <div>
    <BootstrapTable
      keyField="id"
      data={ products }
      columns={ columns }
      filter={ filterFactory({ afterFilter }) }
    />
  </div>
);
