Where's the Documentation at? #114

Is there any wiki or API documentation? I want to create some custom filters for Label columns and Jpa entity Columns,

I wouldn't mind helping build this wiki.

for starters; what are these two functions for?

public Container.Filter generateFilter(Object propertyId, Field<?> originatingField) { }

public AbstractField<?> getCustomFilterComponent(Object propertyId) { }

and this function: public Filter generateFilter(Object propertyId, Object value) { } can i use this one to filter my objects how i want? is propertyId always just the name of the column or an object containing other information?

The filteringTable works really well with Timestamps but if i wanted to add support for Time filtering, would i do it in this function? public String getDateFormatPattern(Object propertyId) { } what is the syntax for makiing a DateFormatPattern?

How would I add a Dropdown with options to filter my filterTable.addGeneratedColumn("state", new CustomTable.ColumnGenerator() {creates a label} ?

thanks for this slick addon

reading up on this issue https://github.com/tepi/FilteringTable/issues/79 made me realize i'll have to add a GeneratedProperty for my jpa parts so i'll look into that some more but after I add a custom property, the problem is coding in the right place for the filtering to happen :grey_question: to add the correct data to my container I will use deviceContainer.getContainerProperty().setValue(custom prop); if i set the prop as an int from 0-6 how do i filter that and offer a dropdown with string labels for the 0-6 ints?
