Implementing filters

Filtering is a part of select requests.

The UI filters are disabled for the custom data source API connection in Flexmonster by default. You can decide what filters you want to enable in Flexmonster and support on the backend. This filter configuration can be done in the schema. The filters can be:

  • turned on all at once
  • or configured separately for fields of a certain type
  • or even defined for each field individually

After enabling the filters in the schema, handling of the query.filter part of a select request should be implemented.
