Datasource filter and templates columns in grid

[Roel]

Hi,

At the moment I am using filters to filter a grid like below:

var filter =
{
    filters:
        [

             { field: "Done", operator: "eq", value: value }
          ]
}

But the filtred status uses a client template like below:

<div style='text-align:center;'><span  style='font-size: 1.4em;' class='fa-stack'># if(data.Done=='1') {# <i class='fa fa-square fa-stack-1x' style='color: white;'></i><i class='fa fa-check-square fa-stack-1x' style='color: \\#4d6992'></i> #} else if(data.Done=='0') {# <i class='fa fa-square' style='color: \\#bfccd3'></i> # } # </span></div>

What is the best way to filter on this column?

Hello, Roel,

Thank you for the provided snippet.

The filters are applied to the dataSource itself, not the grid. The Grid's column templates are used to change the appearance of the data, so they have no direct relation to the filter itself. You should be able to use the filtering capabilities of the grid with columns that have templates, the same way you use them on regular columns.
