Hi @oloost. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

Yes, you can change the default filter operator for a specific field in
useTable
. Below is an example of how to set the filter operator for the firstName
field to "contains" using the filters.initial
property.
Here is the code example:
In this example, the filters.initial
property is used to set the initial filter for the firstName
field with the operator "contains" and the value "John". This initial filter will be applied when the component is first rendered.
For more information, you can refer to the filters.initial documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/data/hooks/use-table/#filtersinitial).
If you need to change the filter operator dynamically, you might need to implement additional logic or use a custom solution as discussed in the GitHub issue (https://github.com/refinedev/refine/issues/1373).

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:

To change the default operator for a search filter on a specific field without setting an initial filter, you can configure the
filterConfig
in the useTable
hook. This allows you to specify the operator for the filter dropdown without requiring an initial filter value.
Here is an example of how to set the filter operator for the firstName
field to "contains":
In this example, the filterConfig
property is used to set the default operator for the firstName
field to "contains". This configuration will be applied to the filter dropdown for the firstName
field, allowing you to use the "contains" operator for search filters.
For more information, you can refer to the GitHub issue (https://github.com/refinedev/refine/issues/1199) where a similar solution was discussed.

@kapa.ai in the docs i see, By default, filter operators are set to "eq" for all fields. You can specify which field will be filtered with which filter operator with the filterOperator property in the meta object. Just be aware that the filterOperator must be a CrudOperators type.
can you give an example

Certainly! You can specify the filter operator for a specific field using the
filterOperator
property in the meta
object when defining the column. Below is an example of how to set the filter operator for the firstName
field to "contains":
In this example, the filterOperator
for the firstName
field is set to "contains" in the meta
object. This means that when you apply a filter on the firstName
column, it will use the "contains" operator by default.
For more information, you can refer to the documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/packages/tanstack-table/use-table/#filtering).
This approach ensures that the firstName
field uses the "contains" operator for filtering, while other fields use the default "eq" operator.

@kapa.ai nope. Property 'meta' does not exist on type 'IntrinsicAttributes & ColumnProps<BaseRecord, HttpError, HttpError>'

To change the default filter operator for a specific field in
useTable
, you should use the meta
property within the column definition. However, it seems there might be a misunderstanding regarding the type of columns you are using.
Here is a correct example of how to set the filter operator for the firstName
field to "contains" using the meta
property:
In this example, the meta
property is used to set the filterOperator
for the firstName
field to "contains". This ensures that when you apply a filter on the firstName
column, it will use the "contains" operator by default.
For more detailed information, you can refer to the documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/packages/tanstack-table/use-table/#filtering).
If you encounter any issues with the meta
property, ensure that you are using the correct types and that your setup aligns with the refine framework's expectations.
