How To Filter Grid Rows That Do Not Contain Value

[kirelet]

Using "contains" filter gives me all rows that do not have the specified value.  How can I filter grid rows that do not contain a certain value, so that I only get rows that do have the value?  I tried "doesnotcontain" which doesn't work.

if (val) {
                grid.dataSource.filter({
                    logic: "or",
                    filters: [
                    { field: "someField", operator: "contains", value: val },
                   { field: "someField2", operator: "contains", value: val },
...

Hello AJ,

The contains operator filters out all items that does not contain the specified value, leaving only the ones that do. For example:  

//Let say this is our data:
data: [
    {field1: "abc", field2: "a"},
    {field1: "abc", field2: "b"},
    {field1: "cde", field2: "c"},
    {field1: "cde", field2: "d"},
    {field1: "edf", field2: "e"},
    {field1: "edf", field2: "f"}
],


//Using this filter
dataSource.filter({
    logic: "or",
    filters: [
    { field: "field1", operator: "contains", value: "a" },
    { field: "field2", operator: "contains", value: "a" }
    ]});

//Wil display the following items:
{field1: "abc", field2: "a"},
{field1: "abc", field2: "b"},


//Using AND logic however, will narrow down the results even further
dataSource.filter({
    logic: "and",
    filters: [
    { field: "field1", operator: "contains", value: "a" },
    { field: "field2", operator: "contains", value: "a" }
    ]});

//And the grid will display only one item:
{field1: "abc", field2: "a"},
