Package Exports

mat-table-filter

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (mat-table-filter) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

Material Table Filter (matTableFilter Directive)

Provides filtering support for @angular/material tables. Table filtering is done by using the directive matTableFilter. This project is inspired by Hibernate's example api. By employing this directive you will end up with having

Less code, less complicated logic for filtering
Default debounce support
Being able to filter nested objects no matter how deep the properties are

Installation

npm install --save mat-table-filter

NOTE: For the previous major versions of Angular install version 1.2.5

npm install --save mat-table-filter@1.2.5

After installing mat-table-filter import MatTableFilterModule in your ngModule

import { MatTableFilterModule } from 'mat-table-filter';

@NgModule({
  imports: [
    ...
    MatTableFilterModule
  ],
 ]})

Usage

A datasource of a simple array won't work. In order to use matTableFilter, your table's datasource must be created as MatTableDataSource, see the example below.

dataSource = new MatTableDataSource(ELEMENT_DATA);

Add matTableFilter directive as a property to your material table.

<table mat-table matTableFilter [dataSource]="dataSource"  ...>

Keep an example object of the same type with your items in your table.
Bind the exampleObject to the exampleEntity property of the matTableFilter directive

<table mat-table matTableFilter [dataSource]="dataSource" [exampleEntity]="exampleObject"...>

That's all. When you populate the exampleObject's properties, the filter will automatically work just fine with the default debounce support. You can change the debounce time also.
