Angular Datatable Filter

Arkadiusz Idzikowski staff commented 5 years ago

I'm not sure what is the exact problem with this feature. Searching works like filtering, it displays only the rows that match search term.

thanks that you are looking for my problem:

I am searching in my rows, with the following code:

  searchItems() {
    const prev = this.mdbTable.getDataSource();

    if (!this.searchText) {
      this.mdbTable.setDataSource(this.previous);
      this.elements = this.mdbTable.getDataSource();
    }

    if (this.searchText) {
      //this.elements = this.mdbTable.searchLocalDataBy(this.searchText);
      this.elements = this.mdbTable.searchLocalDataByFields(this.searchText, this.searchProperties);

      this.mdbTable.setDataSource(prev);
    }

    this.mdbTablePagination.calculateFirstItemIndex();
    this.mdbTablePagination.calculateLastItemIndex();

    this.mdbTable.searchDataObservable(this.searchText).subscribe(() => {
      this.mdbTablePagination.calculateFirstItemIndex();
      this.mdbTablePagination.calculateLastItemIndex();
    });
  }

But before I am searching in my rows / elements, I want to apply an filter to the elements, where i can search in.... like with a seperate filter dropdown, or filter Buttons,... ( For example "only state XXX"), ....

Can you add an example use case with more details? I'm not sure if I understand the problem correctly.
