In ExtJs, there are many options to filter a grid. There are two nice examples in the documentation, like referenced in this question.
- Remote filtering
- Local filtering
However, having the filter hidden in the default dropdown menu of Ext.ux.grid.FiltersFeature
looks really awkward for me. A good ergonomic choice would to create search fields in the column headers, like @Ctacus shows in his question.
How can this be achieved ?
After quite much research through the sparse documentation, and thanks to great questions and answers in SO, I came up with a simple class, that adds this functionality and and allows for configurations.
It looks like this:
You add this field in your grid like this:
Ext.define('Sandbox.view.OwnersGrid', {
extend: 'Ext.grid.Panel',
requires: ['Sandbox.view.SearchTrigger'],
alias: 'widget.ownersGrid',
store: 'Owners',
columns: [{
dataIndex: 'id',
width: 50,
text: 'ID'
}, {
dataIndex: 'name',
text: 'Name',
items:[{
xtype: 'searchtrigger',
autoSearch: true
}]
},
The following configs
are possible, and work like described in the doc for Ext.util.Filter
:
anyMatch
caseSensitive
exactMatch
operator
- additionnaly you can use
autoSearch
. If true, the filter searches as you type, if false or not set, one has to click on the search icon to apply the filter.

Ext.define('Sandbox.view.SearchTrigger', {
extend: 'Ext.form.field.Text',
alias: 'widget.searchtrigger',
triggers:{
search: {
cls: 'x-form-search-trigger',
handler: function() {
this.setFilter(this.up().dataIndex, this.getValue())
}
},
clear: {
cls: 'x-form-clear-trigger',
handler: function() {
this.setValue('')
if(!this.autoSearch) this.setFilter(this.up().dataIndex, '')
}
}
},
setFilter: function(filterId, value){
var store = this.up('grid').getStore();
if(value){
store.removeFilter(filterId, false)
var filter = {id: filterId, property: filterId, value: value};
if(this.anyMatch) filter.anyMatch = this.anyMatch
if(this.caseSensitive) filter.caseSensitive = this.caseSensitive
if(this.exactMatch) filter.exactMatch = this.exactMatch
if(this.operator) filter.operator = this.operator
console.log(this.anyMatch, filter)
store.addFilter(filter)
} else {
store.filters.removeAtKey(filterId)
store.reload()
}
},
listeners: {
render: function(){
var me = this;
me.ownerCt.on('resize', function(){
me.setWidth(this.getEl().getWidth())
})
},
change: function() {
if(this.autoSearch) this.setFilter(this.up().dataIndex, this.getValue())
}
}
})
For ExtJs 6.2.0, the following bug and its workaround is relevant to this, else the column cannot be flex
ed.
