Filtering

Filtering is the process of narrowing down data based on specific criteria (such as categories, statuses, date ranges) that is more than just text searching. FilterPipe is responsible for executing this logic.

Built-in and Custom Filters

Section titled “Built-in and Custom Filters”

Currently, Kinetics is designed to allow you to define your own filter logic with great flexibility. Instead of restricting you to specific filter types, the filtering feature is generally implemented by adding custom filter configurations to the table or injecting them directly via the base query builder.

(Detailed documentation regarding advanced custom filter configuration will be added soon).

Section titled “Difference between Filter and Search”
  • Search: Searches text across multiple columns simultaneously using the LIKE operation. Usually involves just a simple input box in the UI.
  • Filter: Matches exact values (e.g., status = 'published'), or uses ranges (e.g., created_at > '2023-01-01'). Usually uses specific UI elements like dropdowns, checkboxes, or date pickers.
