Filtering in React Gantt component

Filtering allows you to view specific or related records based on filter criteria. This can be done in the Gantt component by using the filter menu and toolbar search. To enable filtering in the Gantt component, set the allowFiltering to true. Menu -filtering support can be configured using the filterSettings property and toolbar searching can be configured using the searchSettings property.

To use filter, inject the Filter module into the Gantt component.

The Gantt component provides menu-filtering support for each column. You can enable the filter menu by setting the allowFiltering to true. The filter menu UI will be rendered based on its column type, which allows you to filter data. You can filter the records with different operators.

The allowFiltering property should be set to true to enable the filter menu. Setting the columns.allowFiltering property to false prevents rendering the filter menu for a particular column.

Filter hierarchy modes

The Gantt component supports a set of filtering modes with the filterSettings.hierarchyMode property. The following are the types of filter hierarchy modes available in the Gantt component:

  • Parent: This is the default filter hierarchy mode in Gantt. The filtered records are displayed with their parent records. If the filtered records do not have any parent record, then only the filtered records will be displayed.

  • Child: Displays the filtered records with their child record. If the filtered records do not have any child record, then only the filtered records will be displayed.

  • Both: Displays the filtered records with their both parent and child records. If the filtered records do not have any parent or child records, then only the filtered records will be displayed.

  • None: Displays only the filtered records.

Filter operators

The filter operator for a column can be defined in the filterSettings.columns.operator property.

The available operators and their supported data types are:

Operator Description Supported Types
startswith Checks whether the value begins with the specified value. String
endswith Checks whether the value ends with the specified value. String
contains Checks whether the value contains the specified value. String
equal Checks whether the value is equal to the specified value. String | Number | Boolean | Date
notequal Checks for the values that are not equal to the specified value. String | Number | Boolean | Date
greaterthan Checks whether the value is greater than the specified value. Number | Date
greaterthanorequal Checks whether the value is greater than or equal to the specified value. Number | Date
lessthan Checks whether the value is less than the specified value. Number | Date
lessthanorequal Checks whether the value is less than or equal to the specified value. Number | Date

By default, the filterSettings.columns.operator value is equal

Diacritics

By default, the Gantt component ignores the diacritic characters while filtering. To include diacritic characters, set the filterSettings.ignoreAccent to true.

In the following sample, type Perform in the TaskName column to filter diacritic characters.

Clear filtered columns

You can clear all the filtering conditions done in the Gantt component by using the clearFiltering method. The following code snippet explains the above behavior.

You can search for records in the Gantt component by using the search method with search key as a parameter. The Gantt component provides an option to integrate the search text box in the toolbar by adding the search item to the toolbar property.

To search records, inject the Filter module into the Gantt component.

In the Gantt component, you can load a task with some search criteria by using the searchSettings property. To apply a search at initial rendering, set the value for fields, operator, key, and ignoreCase in the searchSettings property.

By default, Gantt searches all the bound column values. To customize this behavior, define the searchSettings.fields property.

Search operators

The search operator can be defined in the searchSettings.operator property to configure specific searching.

The following operators are supported in searching:

Operator Description
startsWith Checks whether a value begins with the specified value.
endsWith Checks whether a value ends with the specified value.
contains Checks whether a value contains the specified value.
equal Checks whether a value is equal to the specified value.
notEqual Checks for the values that are not equal to the specified value.

By default, the searchSettings.operator value is contains.

Search by external button

To search the Gantt records from an external button, invoke the search method.

Note: You should set the allowFiltering property to true for searching the content externally.

Search specific columns

By default, the Gantt component searches all the columns. You can search specific columns by defining the specific column’s field names in the searchSettings.fields property.
