Server Side Filtering

[Jesse]

Currently the filtering keys look like this:

[4]:  "filter[filters][0][field]"

[5]:  "filter[filters][0][operator]"

[6]:  "filter[filters][0][value]"

[7]:  "filter[filters][1][logic]"

[8]:  "filter[filters][1][filters][0][field]"

[9]:  "filter[filters][1][filters][0][operator]"

[10]: "filter[filters][1][filters][0][value]"

[11]: "filter[filters][1][filters][1][field]"

[12]: "filter[filters][1][filters][1][operator]"

[13]: "filter[filters][1][filters][1][value]"

[14]: "filter[logic]"

This creates all kinds of headaches trying to normalize this.

I notice you do not add the [filters][0] if there is only one filter for the column. It would be really nice if you always used the same syntax like:

[4]:  "filter[filters][0][filters][0][field]"

[5]:  "filter[filters][0][filters][0][operator]"

[6]:  "filter[filters][0][filters][0][value]"

[7]:  "filter[filters][1][logic]"

[8]:  "filter[filters][1][filters][0][field]"

[9]:  "filter[filters][1][filters][0][operator]"

[10]: "filter[filters][1][filters][0][value]"

[11]: "filter[filters][1][filters][1][field]"

[12]: "filter[filters][1][filters][1][operator]"

[13]: "filter[filters][1][filters][1][value]"

[14]: "filter[logic]"

This would make it much easier to parse.

Hello Jesse,

If you want to change the format in which these parameters are send (serialized) you can use the parameterMap function.

Also if you really think this should be changed I can suggest you to share your idea on our feedback page. If the community vote for the idea we will consider changing it. Keep in mind we cannot change this currently because this will be a breaking change for the other users using the framework.

Thank you for the understanding.
