Feature Request: Row Filter #26

Closed Interpause closed 2 years ago

Interpause commented 2 years ago

Thanks for making this plugin. I think it should be possible to implement row filtering, which would help with large tables, and in a sense allow searching within a table.

The way I envisage this is that in preview mode, for textual columns, a text field can somehow pop-up, allowing the user to type in their query. For numerical columns, a slider could pop up to filter by a min-max range.

If you think it is a good idea, I would be interested in implementing this and submitting a pull request.

Hi,

This is conceptually a very nice idea, but it solves a different problem than Sortable tries to address. If possible, I want to keep Sortable as simple as possible, solving just one problem: table sorting.

Your proposal seems more suitable for the Dataview plugin.

I see, no problem.
