Header dropdown checkbox

[robberti4y]

Hi,
I'm looking for a dropdown/checkbox filter in the header like you have in Excel when creating a filter (see for example this picture:

. Is there already an option for this?
I found this issue: #527 that is related, but I'm looking for a dropdown instead of typing with comma's.
Thanks!

Hey @robberti4y

Sorry for the delayed response, I have been busy working on the 4.2 release for next week

Please ask questions on Stack Overflow, this issues list is only for Bug Reports and Feature Requests

There is no built in option for this but you could make one yourself using a Custom Header Filter

I hope that helps,

Cheers

Oli :)

Hi @olifolkerd, @robberti4y, @jjech,

I'm successfully able to make the functionality(filter data by selecting multiple values in the header filter dropdown) work in tabulator, easy solution just by defining columns header as follows: 'select' for headerFillter, 'in' operator for headerFilterFunc, and for headerFilterParams provide following as values {values:true, multiselect:true}

Note: with this solution, selecting/unselecting an value in the header dropdown, simply works as alternate solution for checkbox.

Example:

{
field: "book_name",
width: 390,
title: "Book Name",
headerFilterPlaceholder: " ",
headerFilter: 'select',
headerFilterFunc:"in",
headerFilterParams: {values:true, sortValuesList:"asc", multiselect:true},
editor: "input",
editorParams: {
allowEmpty: true
},

Thanks,
Akshaya
