"Agnostic" filters - decouple filters from datatables #5714
Conversation

Off topic: Would you consider adding support for global filters? Cheers! |

Hi @susanu - I think that's an interesting idea, but a very niche one. I see how it would be useful (I have a company select in one project too). But I don't think Backpack needs to help with it... it's ok for the dev to do it custom, since it's IS very custom, and particular to that project. We're not looking to add any "could-have" features, only "must-have" and "should-have". But it would make for a very interesting article - I'll give you that! Wanna write it? |

Hi @tabacitu, I'm better at writing code than articles. Cheers! |

@susanu "theoretically" that's already possible. You can store the "global" filter (you can't use the native filters (yet!)) in a session variable, and add a middleware, or similar approach, that reads from that session variable and redirects the user to say Thanks for the suggestion, eagerly waiting for the PR 👍 |

I agree with making it a component. I agree with the naming. Please redo the event names so it's backpack:filters:clear like I said in https://github.com/Laravel-Backpack/PRO/pull/296 too, merge next into this, test it, and give it back.

VERY good catch! Do we need to do this now, or can we do it later, as a non-breaking change? Cause it's a pretty big thing.

I think we can do it later as non-breaking

WHY
BEFORE - What was wrong? What was happening before this PR?
Filters were tightly coupled with the datatable making it impossible to use in a page that didn't had the datatable.
AFTER - What is happening after this PR?
Filters can be used in any page, and developer can configure the actions to perform when they are enabled/disabled.
HOW
How did you achieve that, in technical terms?
transformed the filters_navbar into a component that can be reused.
refactored the filters to emit events when they are changed.
Is it a breaking change?
If you have
filters_navbar.blade.phpoverwritten yes it is.
