Vuetify Filterable

Vuetify Filterable is a package that renders rich and flexible filters for your application's requirements.

It's simply a view component.

Installation

Install the package from npmjs:

npm i vuetify-filterable

Then, plug it in (Basic Installation Example):

import { createApp } from 'vue'
import App from './App.vue'
import VuetifyFilterable from 'vuetify-filterable'
import 'vuetify/styles'
import * as components from 'vuetify/components'
import * as directives from 'vuetify/directives'
import { createVuetify } from 'vuetify'
import { VDatePicker } from 'vuetify/labs/VDatePicker'
import '@mdi/font/css/materialdesignicons.css'

const vuetify = createVuetify({
  components: {
    ...components,
    VDatePicker
  },
  directives
})

createApp(App).use(vuetify).use(VuetifyFilterable).mount('#app')

When implementing this, both v-filterable and v-filterable-operator will be injected. If you wish to modify their prefixes, you can easily do so by passing an alias:

use(VuetifyFilterable, {
  alias: 'filters'
})

The above action will substitute the components with filters and filters-operator.

Quick Usage

To utilize the library, you need to import useFilters and use it to supply the necessary props for rendering v-filterable. An example is provided below:

<script setup lang="ts">
import useFilters, { type Filter } from 'vuetify-filterable/composeables/useFilters'
import { onMounted } from 'vue'

// use Filter[] types to have auto complete
const filters: Filter[] = [
    {
        label: "Roles",
        field: "role",
        type: "select" // use the autocomplete to see available types,
        entries: [ // only required if type is `select` or `select-multiple`.
            {label: "Super Admin", key: "super_admin"},
            {label: "User", key: "user"}
        ]
    }
]

const { appendFilter, state } = useFilters(filters)

onMounted(() => {
  appendFilter(0) // index of the filters array.
})
</script>

<template>
  <v-filterable v-model="state.values" :filters="state.selectedFilter" />
</template>

Using Builder

If the syntax mentioned above causes confusion regarding when to use entries and other keys, Vuetify Filterable also offers a Builder Factory that can effortlessly resolve this issue. Let's see it in action:

import useFilters from 'vuetify-filterable/composeables/useFilters'
import Builder from 'vuetify-filterable/factories/Builder'

const filters = new Builder()
  .text('name', 'Filter By Name', {
    allowedOperators: ['starts_with', 'ends_with']
  })
  .get()

useFilters(filters) // this also possible

Using Object

You can also use object to be passed to useFilters like the following example:

const filters = [
  {
    field: 'name',
    label: 'Filter By Name',
    type: 'text',
    operators: ['starts_with', 'ends_with']
  }
]

useFilters(filters)

Note: It is highly recommended to use the Builder as it provides an abstraction for constructing objects with improved readability and enhanced IntelliSense support

Extend it!

Vuetify Filterable supports custom types. Just use custom for builder or type:'custom' for object (note: you will require to fill customId property too).

• Builder Example

new Builder().custom('flight_no', 'Flight No', 'someId').get()

• Object Example

{
  type: "custom",
  field: "flight_no",
  label: "Flight No",
  customId: "someId"
}

After that, you can use named slot with prefix of custom.${string:customId} to register your own view:

<template #[`custom.flight_no`]="{ operator, value, label }">
  <!-- Vuetify Filterable Operator -->
  <v-filterable-operator
    v-bind="operator.bindings"
    v-on="operator.events"
    :items="['starts_with', 'eq']"
  ></v-filterable-operator>
  <!-- To align with the view, you should wrap your component using v-col. -->
  <v-col>
    <!-- Your component, should registered both event and bind, there's also a label -->
    <v-text-field :label="label" v-bind="value.bindings" v-on="value.events"></v-text-field>
  </v-col>
</template>

Using toQueryString or toQueryObject

The useFilters composeable supports to convert the current filter state to the query string or object.

Usage Example:

import useFilters from 'vuetify-filterable/composeables/useFilters'

const { toQueryString, toQueryObject } = useFilters(filters)

toQueryString('http://localhost:3000') // generates http://localhost:3000?filters[0][field]=flight_no&filters[0][opr]=eq&filters[0][val]=1010

toQueryObject() // generates {filters:[{field: "flight_no", opr: "eq", val: 1010}]}

Server Side Adapter

Laravel Filterable is a simple Server Side Adapter that able to read and process this library generated query string or object automatically.

This includes type casting, queries, and etc.

The adapter fully supports toQueryString.
