Determining what filters are set

[Andrew]

Can you give a code example of how to determine what filters are currently set?   I get that dataSource.filter() will give me back the objects, but how to I decode it?

For example, if I set a filter on a field "product" as "eq" to value "Milk", then later want to get the value of "Milk" back, how would I do so?

Hello Andrew,

The filter object has three fields from which you could get information about it - field, operator and value.
So to get the values used to filter the "product" field you can use something similar to the snippet below:

$(dataSource.filter().filters).each(function(){
    if(this.field == "product"){
        alert(this.value);
    }
});
