Datasource server-client mixed filtering

[Emanuele]

Can I server side filter a datasource for one field and client filter the datasource for others field ?

Something like this:

filter: {
                            filters: [
                                { field: "showHiddenFiles", value: false, serverFilter: true },
                                { field: "name", value: "mike", serverFilter: false }
                            ]
                        }

Hi Emanuele,

Using different filtering in the DataSource configuration is not a supported functionality. However you can filter the DataSource using the filter configuration, and after that using the Kendo UI API you can apply additional filters later on. 

For your convenience here is a jsBin example which demonstrates a possible implementation.

I'm wondering if, in the last 4 years, this feature has been implemented? If not, is there a more modern workaround for it?

Hello Sam,

Currently, using both server side and client side filtering(and operations in general) is not supported and recommended as it can lead to unexpected issues.

For example, this will create a scenario where the Grid data has to be sorted once on the server and once on the client, causing two rebinds of the Grid and impacting its performance.
