setFilters not updating useDataGrid props filter values rename the same if using client side filtering

Hi @Joe Gaffney. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- If you're using client-side filtering with useDataGrid and the setFilters function is not updating the filter values, it could be due to a few reasons. Firstly, ensure that you have set the filters.mode to "off" in your useDataGrid configuration. This disables server-side filtering and enables client-side filtering.

useDataGrid({  
 filters: {  
 mode: "off",  
 },  
});

useDataGrid({  
 filters: {  
 mode: "off",  
 },  
});

(Source: Refine Documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/ui-integrations/material-ui/hooks/use-data-grid#how-can-i-handle-client-side-filtering)) Secondly, make sure you're using the setFilters function correctly. This function is used to set the current filter state. It should be used with the field, operator, and value properties to filter the table.

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

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

(Source: Refine Blog (https://refine.dev/blog/mui-datagrid-refine#controlled-filtering)) If you're still facing issues, it could be due to a bug or a specific configuration in your code. In such cases, it would be helpful to provide more context or a sample of your code for further assistance. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai it never seems to update the dataGridProps only the url locaction if syncWithLocation on. It meeds to update the filterModel of the the dataGridProps.

  const { dataGridProps, setFilters, filters } = useDataGrid({
    resource: "AAAA",
    meta: { apiCall: true, dataName: "mapping" },
    filters: {
      mode: "off",
    },
    syncWithLocation: false,
  });

  const handleFilter = (e: React.ChangeEvent<HTMLInputElement>, checked: boolean) => {
    let result: any = {
      field: "Status",
      value: checked ? "pending" : undefined,
      operator: "contains",
    };
    console.log("result", result);

    setFilters([result], "replace");
    console.log(dataGridProps.filterModel.items);
  };

  const { dataGridProps, setFilters, filters } = useDataGrid({
    resource: "AAAA",
    meta: { apiCall: true, dataName: "mapping" },
    filters: {
      mode: "off",
    },
    syncWithLocation: false,
  });

  const handleFilter = (e: React.ChangeEvent<HTMLInputElement>, checked: boolean) => {
    let result: any = {
      field: "Status",
      value: checked ? "pending" : undefined,
      operator: "contains",
    };
    console.log("result", result);

    setFilters([result], "replace");
    console.log(dataGridProps.filterModel.items);
  };

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- The setFilters function in the useDataGrid hook is used to set the current filter state. However, it doesn't directly update the filterModel of the dataGridProps. The filterModel is updated when the DataGrid component re-renders and applies the new filters. In your handleFilter function, you're logging the dataGridProps.filterModel.items immediately after calling setFilters. At this point, the DataGrid component may not have re-rendered yet, so the filterModel might not reflect the new filters. If you want to check the current filter state after calling setFilters, you can use the filters value returned from useDataGrid, which should be updated immediately when you call setFilters. Here's how you can modify your handleFilter function:

const handleFilter = (e: React.ChangeEvent<HTMLInputElement>, checked: boolean) => {
  let result: any = {
    field: "Status",
    value: checked ? "pending" : undefined,
    operator: "contains",
  };
  console.log("result", result);

  setFilters([result], "replace");
  console.log(filters); // Log the current filter state
};

const handleFilter = (e: React.ChangeEvent<HTMLInputElement>, checked: boolean) => {
  let result: any = {
    field: "Status",
    value: checked ? "pending" : undefined,
    operator: "contains",
  };
  console.log("result", result);

  setFilters([result], "replace");
  console.log(filters); // Log the current filter state
};

Remember that the filters value here represents the current filter state in your component, not the filterModel of the DataGrid component. The filterModel will be updated with these filters when the DataGrid component re-renders.

@kapa.ai how can i force the dataGrid to rerender and i am checking the dataGridProps later in the code. I would think if setFilters was updating the model it would redraw.

      <GenericField type="json" value={filters} />
      <GenericField type="json" value={dataGridProps.filterModel} />

      <DataGrid {...dataGridProps} columns={columnsBankAccounts} />

      <GenericField type="json" value={filters} />
      <GenericField type="json" value={dataGridProps.filterModel} />

      <DataGrid {...dataGridProps} columns={columnsBankAccounts} />

kapa.ai•4mo ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- In React, a component re-renders when its state or props change. If you want to force a re-render of the DataGrid component, you can change its key prop. This will make React unmount and remount the component, which will cause it to re-render with the new props. Here's an example of how you can do this:

<DataGrid key={filters} {...dataGridProps} columns={columnsBankAccounts} />

<DataGrid key={filters} {...dataGridProps} columns={columnsBankAccounts} />

In this example, the key of the DataGrid component is set to the filters value. When the filters value changes (i.e., when you call setFilters), the key will change, which will cause the DataGrid component to re-render. However, keep in mind that this is a workaround and may not be the best solution for your problem. Unmounting and remounting a component can be expensive in terms of performance, especially for a complex component like DataGrid. If you're having issues with the DataGrid component not updating when you expect it to, it might be better to try to understand why it's not updating and fix the underlying issue. For example, there might be an issue with how you're updating the filterModel prop, or there might be a bug in the DataGrid component or the useDataGrid hook.

@kapa.ai is there another method i can get from useDataGrid to control updating the dataGridProps myself as I need to change the model

kapa.ai•4mo ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- The useDataGrid hook from Refine provides several methods to control the state of the DataGrid component, including setFilters for filtering and setSorters for sorting. However, it doesn't provide a direct method to update the filterModel or sortModel of the dataGridProps. The filterModel and sortModel are derived from the current filter and sort state, which are managed by the useDataGrid hook. When you call setFilters or setSorters, the useDataGrid hook updates the filter or sort state, and the filterModel and sortModel are updated accordingly when the DataGrid component re-renders. If you need to control the filterModel or sortModel directly, you might need to manage them in your own state and pass them to the DataGrid component as props. However, this would bypass the state management provided by the useDataGrid hook, and you would need to handle the filtering and sorting logic yourself. Here's an example of how you can do this:

const [filterModel, setFilterModel] = React.useState<GridFilterModel>({});

<DataGrid
  {...dataGridProps}
  filterModel={filterModel}
  onFilterModelChange={(newModel) => {
    setFilterModel(newModel);
    // Update the filter state in useDataGrid
    setFilters(newModel.items);
  }}
/>

const [filterModel, setFilterModel] = React.useState<GridFilterModel>({});

<DataGrid
  {...dataGridProps}
  filterModel={filterModel}
  onFilterModelChange={(newModel) => {
    setFilterModel(newModel);
    // Update the filter state in useDataGrid
    setFilters(newModel.items);
  }}
/>

In this example, the filterModel is managed in your own state, and you update it when the onFilterModelChange event is fired. You also call setFilters to update the filter state in the useDataGrid hook. Please note that this is a workaround and might not be the best solution for your problem. It would be better to understand why the DataGrid component is not updating as expected and fix the underlying issue.

@kapa.ai is there a way i can set the inital filters

kapa.ai•4mo ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- Yes, you can set the initial filters in the useDataGrid hook using the filters.initial property. The initial property sets the initial value of the filter. However, it's not permanent and will be cleared when the user changes the filter. If you want to set a permanent value, use the filters.permanent prop. Here's an example of how you can set the initial filters:

useDataGrid({  
 filters: {  
 initial: [  
 {  
 field: "name",  
 operator: "contains",  
 value: "Foo",  
 },  
 ],  
 },  
});

useDataGrid({  
 filters: {  
 initial: [  
 {  
 field: "name",  
 operator: "contains",  
 value: "Foo",  
 },  
 ],  
 },  
});

In this example, the initial filter is set to filter rows where the name field contains the string "Foo". For more information, refer to the CrudFilters interface documentation → (https://refine.dev/docs/core/interface-references/#crudfilters) Sources: - Refine Documentation: useDataGrid (https://refine.dev/docs/ui-integrations/material-ui/hooks/use-data-grid#filtersinitial) - Refine Documentation: CrudFilters (https://refine.dev/docs/core/interface-references/#crudfilters) ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai this doesnt appear to work with the client side filtering

kapa.ai•4mo ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- I apologize for the confusion. The filters.initial property in the useDataGrid hook is used to set the initial filters for server-side filtering. For client-side filtering, you would need to handle the initial filtering in your own code. Here's an example of how you can do this:

const [filters, setFilters] = useState([
  {
    field: "name",
    operator: "contains",
    value: "Foo",
  },
]);

useDataGrid({  
 filters: {  
 mode: "off",  
 },  
});  

// Then, in your component, you can use the `filters` state to filter your data.
const filteredData = useMemo(() => {  
  if (filters.length === 0) {  
    return data; // Replace `data` with your actual data
  }  
  
  const logicalFilters = filters.flatMap((item) =>  
    "field" in item ? item : [],  
  );  
  
  return data.filter((item) => {  
    return logicalFilters.some((filter) => {  
      if (filter.operator === "contains") {  
        return item[filter.field].includes(filter.value);  
      }  
    });  
  });  
}, [data, filters]);

const [filters, setFilters] = useState([
  {
    field: "name",
    operator: "contains",
    value: "Foo",
  },
]);

useDataGrid({  
 filters: {  
 mode: "off",  
 },  
});  

// Then, in your component, you can use the `filters` state to filter your data.
const filteredData = useMemo(() => {  
  if (filters.length === 0) {  
    return data; // Replace `data` with your actual data
  }  
  
  const logicalFilters = filters.flatMap((item) =>  
    "field" in item ? item : [],  
  );  
  
  return data.filter((item) => {  
    return logicalFilters.some((filter) => {  
      if (filter.operator === "contains") {  
        return item[filter.field].includes(filter.value);  
      }  
    });  
  });  
}, [data, filters]);

In this example, the filters state is initialized with a filter where the name field contains the string "Foo". The filteredData is then derived from the filters state and the actual data. Please note that this is a workaround and might not be the best solution for your problem. It would be better to understand why the DataGrid component is not updating as expected and fix the underlying issue.

@kapa.ai so i got this to work with client side filtering and still working with datatables own filters posting here for visibility encase others need a tmp solution.

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

  // we make an update to the filter model and passin the updated filter model to the data grid
  const { filterModel, ...restDataGridProps } = dataGridProps;
  const filterModelUpdated: any = {
    items: [...filters],
    logicOperator: "and",
  };

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

  // we make an update to the filter model and passin the updated filter model to the data grid
  const { filterModel, ...restDataGridProps } = dataGridProps;
  const filterModelUpdated: any = {
    items: [...filters],
    logicOperator: "and",
  };

But I think something needs updating inside the useDataGrid to do something similar when setFilters is changed.

kapa.ai•4mo ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- Thank you for sharing your solution. It's great to hear that you've found a workaround that suits your needs. In your solution, you're manually updating the filterModel with the current filters state and passing the updated filterModel to the DataGrid component. This ensures that the DataGrid component's filters are in sync with your filters state. Here's the full code for clarity:

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

// we make an update to the filter model and passin the updated filter model to the data grid
const { filterModel, ...restDataGridProps } = dataGridProps;
const filterModelUpdated: any = {
  items: [...filters],
  logicOperator: "and",
};

<DataGrid {...restDataGridProps} filterModel={filterModelUpdated} columns={columnsBankAccounts} />

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

// we make an update to the filter model and passin the updated filter model to the data grid
const { filterModel, ...restDataGridProps } = dataGridProps;
const filterModelUpdated: any = {
  items: [...filters],
  logicOperator: "and",
};

<DataGrid {...restDataGridProps} filterModel={filterModelUpdated} columns={columnsBankAccounts} />

This is a good workaround for the current behavior of the useDataGrid hook. However, as you've mentioned, it would be ideal if the useDataGrid hook could automatically update the filterModel when setFilters is called. This could be a valuable enhancement to the useDataGrid hook, and I recommend submitting this as a feature request to the Refine team. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------
