Request for Assistance: Creating an External Filter Component for DataGridPro in Refine

I am working on integrating an external filter component into DataGridPro in Refine. This component should allow users to input values for selected fields and apply date-based filtering using a date selector. I seek guidance on achieving this seamlessly with Refine's useDataGrid hook. I kindly request your assistance in: 1. Developing the External Filter Component: Guidance or sample code for creating a custom filter component that seamlessly integrates with DataGridPro, providing a user-friendly interface for inputting filter values and selecting dates. 2. Implementing Field-Based Filtering: Insights on associating the filter component with individual fields and applying the filters accordingly. 3. Enabling Date Filtering: Guidance on integrating a date selector into the filter component for filtering data based on date ranges. 4. Integrating with useDataGrid Hook: Advice or best practices for incorporating the useDataGrid hook to fetch relevant information based on applied filters. Any assistance, documentation, code snippets, or recommendations you can provide to help me successfully implement the external filter component would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your support.

Hi @darshan_sandhu. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- I can provide you with some guidance based on the information extracts available. Here's how you can approach each of your requirements: 1. Developing the External Filter Component: The extracts do not provide a specific example of creating a custom filter component for DataGridPro. However, you can refer to this example (https://refine.dev/blog/mui-datagrid-refine) that demonstrates using a custom checkbox to filter rows in a DataGrid. You can use this as a starting point and modify it according to your needs. 2. Implementing Field-Based Filtering: To filter externally from the <DataGrid> component, you can use the setFilters function provided by the useDataGrid hook. The function accepts an array of filter objects with field, operator, and value properties. You can associate the filter component with individual fields by setting the field property to the desired column field. Here's an example (https://refine.dev/blog/mui-datagrid-refine) of using setFilters:

const handleFilter = (
  e: React.ChangeEvent<HTMLInputElement>,
  checked: boolean,
) => {
  setFilters([
    {
      field: "status",
      value: checked ? "draft" : undefined,
      operator: "eq",
    },
  ]);
};

const handleFilter = (
  e: React.ChangeEvent<HTMLInputElement>,
  checked: boolean,
) => {
  setFilters([
    {
      field: "status",
      value: checked ? "draft" : undefined,
      operator: "eq",
    },
  ]);
};

3. Enabling Date Filtering: The extracts do not provide specific guidance on integrating a date selector into the filter component. However, you can use a date picker component from a UI library like Material-UI and pass the selected date range as the value property in the filter object when calling setFilters. 4. Integrating with useDataGrid Hook: To use the useDataGrid hook, you can destructure the dataGridProps from the hook and pass them to the <DataGrid> component. Here's an example (https://refine.dev/docs/api-reference/mui/hooks/useDataGrid) of using the useDataGrid hook:

const { dataGridProps } = useDataGrid();

const {
  filterMode,
  filterModel,
  onFilterModelChange,
  ...restDataGridProps
} = dataGridProps;

return (
  <List>
    <DataGrid
      columns={columns}
      {...restDataGridProps}
      filterMode={filterMode}
      filterModel={filterModel}
      onFilterModelChange={onFilterModelChange}
      autoHeight
    />
  </List>
);

const { dataGridProps } = useDataGrid();

const {
  filterMode,
  filterModel,
  onFilterModelChange,
  ...restDataGridProps
} = dataGridProps;

return (
  <List>
    <DataGrid
      columns={columns}
      {...restDataGridProps}
      filterMode={filterMode}
      filterModel={filterModel}
      onFilterModelChange={onFilterModelChange}
      autoHeight
    />
  </List>
);

Keep in mind that the provided examples are based on the available information extracts and may not cover all your requirements. You may need to refer to the Refine documentation (https://refine.dev/docs) and DataGridPro documentation (https://mui.com/components/data-grid/) for more specific guidance on your use case. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

hi 👋 thanks for detailed explanation but what do you mean by "external filter" ? can you give me more info please

hi @alicanerdurmaz here's an example of what I'm trying to do, https://github.com/mui/mui-x/issues/5505. Thanks for the reply!

If I understand correctly do you want to implement similar to this ? https://example.mui.admin.refine.dev/orders?pageSize=10&current=1

Ah, yes! Sorry for the late reply but that is exactly it!

correct-apricot•14mo ago

in that example we use onSearch from useDataGrid - form section: https://github.com/refinedev/refine/blob/next/examples/finefoods-material-ui/src/pages/orders/list.tsx#L295 - onSearch logic: https://github.com/refinedev/refine/blob/next/examples/finefoods-material-ui/src/pages/orders/list.tsx#L52 - documentation:

Awesome, thank you so much @alicanerdurmaz, I appreciate your help a ton! @kapa.ai I've been working on my application based on the finefoods-material-ui example. Most of it is working well, but I've noticed a problem when I apply filters and there are no results. In such cases, the URL quickly reverts back to its default state with no filters, and a fetch request is made for the original page without any filters applied. It's a bit hard to diagnose without sharing the actual code, but I was wondering if you have any insights into what might be causing this issue. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- Hmm, I don't know enough to give you a confident answer yet. However, I can suggest checking your implementation of the setFilters function and how you handle filter changes in your application. Make sure that you're updating the filters correctly and not accidentally resetting them. You can refer to the Refine documentation (https://refine.dev/docs) and the examples (https://refine.dev/docs/examples) for more guidance on handling filters and other aspects of your application. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai oops...just realized I forgot to set filtermodel to undefined in the datagrid. Geeze, thank you

kapa.ai•14mo ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- I'm glad you found the issue! Remember to set the filterModel to undefined in the <DataGrid> component when you want to handle filtering server-side without specifying the filterModel. Here's an example from the extracts (https://refine.dev/docs/api-reference/mui/hooks/useDataGrid):

return <DataGrid {...dataGridProps} filterModel={undefined} autoHeight />;

return <DataGrid {...dataGridProps} filterModel={undefined} autoHeight />;

By doing this, you can support more than one criterion at a time, but the <DataGrid> headers won't show which fields are filtered. If you need further assistance, feel free to ask. Good luck with your project! ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------
