Filtering by List<string>

[Heather]

Hello, I have a kendo grid with a column that displays as List<string> using a client template:

columns.Bound(u => u.CostCentreNames)
     .ClientTemplate("#= costCentreList(data) #")
     .Filterable(true)
     .Sortable(false);
function costCentreList(item) {
var html = "";
for (var i = 0; i < item.CostCentreNames.length; i++) {
if (item.CostCentreNames[i] != 'undefined') {
html += "<div>";
html += item.CostCentreNames[i];
html += "</div>";
}
}
return html;
}

CostCentreNames is a List<string>.

Is it possible to filter based on the values of those strings?  i.e. show only rows where that column contains the value '100'. could you provide an example if so.  Thx!

Hello Taylor,

The built-in filtering does not support filtering a collection field. It is possible to implement it by passing the value to the server and filtering the data before using the ToDataSourceResult method. I attached a sample project that uses a multiselect to filter the columns that contain any of the selected values.

Hello Daniel,

I know this is an old post, but instead of opening a new thread it's better to ask it here.

Is this feature have been implemented? Since the original request there were a lot of releases of Kendo Grid and probably you have considered this as a good feature.

 

Thanks,

Georgi

Hello Georgi,

I am afraid that this is still not supported and is not currently planned. I can suggest to open a feature request in our feedback portal.
