We were excited to see the new Filter component in the latest release of Kendo Angular, and are wondering if there is any way to customize it or extend it. For example, we'd like to use a different FilterEditor, like a multi-select, and potentially some more advanced customization like comparing and doing some basic calculations across two fields.
It doesn't look like the current version supports that level of customization, but is there a recommended approach for extending the component to add our own functionality? Thanks!

Hi Steve,
Thank you for the provided feedback.
We have noticed the benefit of adding a feature that allows using a Filter edit template which will allow customizing the filter editor as per the specific use-case scenario. However, such a feature wasn't a part of the initial release.
The same applies to the comparer function. What could be done to add a custom comparer function is on (valueChange) of the Filter to overwrite manually the operator of the desired FilterDescriptor by passing a custom function to it.
We do have these functionalities internally logged but at this point, I am unable to provide an estimate as to when they could be expected. Feel free to share any further feedback on the Filter component or let me know in case I can provide any further information on this case.
Regards,
Svet
