// Be sure to include styles at some point, probably during your bootstraping
// In JS
import react-table-filter/lib/styles.css;

// In SCSS
@import "path-to-node_modules/react-table-filter/lib/styles.css";

// Or directly import css
<link href="path-to-react-table-filter/lib/styles.css" rel="stylesheet" />

Usage

1. Wrap header columns (th / td) with TableFilter as shown below.

<TableFilter
  rows={data}
  onFilterUpdate={this._filterUpdated}>
  <th filterkey="name">
    Name
  </th>
  <th filterkey="season">
    Season
  </th>
  <th filterkey="number">
    Number
  </th>
</TableFilter>

Required Props on TableFilter

rows - Initial Array of Items

onFilterUpdate - Function called with updated filtered data when filters are added/removed. This function is used to show updated data by your application. Ex:

filterUpdated = (newData, filterConfiguration) => {
		this.setState({
			"upddatedData": newData
		});
	}

Arguments Detail:
newData - Filtered Data to be used to show on UI
filterConfiguration - Current filters configuration.

filterConfiguration can be saved and be passed as prop(initialFilters) to TableFilter to maintain filter state while initializing the component.(In case user navigates away and comes back etc.)

Required Props on th/td (Header columns)

filterkey - The key by which that column is to be filtered(key as present in rows data)

Only the Columns with "filterkey" prop present will be considered for filtering.

Reset Items after Initialization

If you want to reset Items after component mount. Make a reference to TableFilter node and call reset method as shown below.

<TableFilter
  rows={data}
  onFilterUpdate={this._filterUpdated}
  initialFilters={this.state.filterConfiguration}
  ref={ (node) => {this.tableFilterNode = node;}>

this.tableFilterNode.reset(newData, resetFilters);

Arguments Detail:
newData - Data to reset
resetFilters(Default: true) - Boolean tells component to maintain/reset existing filters
