External Filtering

Updated on Jun 29, 2026

The Kendo UI for Vue Native Grid data can be filtered using the Filter component or other external tool.

To filter the data, use the filterBy method from the kendo-data-query utility package. It accepts two parameters:

• The array to be filtered.
• The filters to be applied, passed as a CompositeFilterDescriptor object.

Using the Filter component

The Filter component has an UI that is suitable for external filtering. It allows the user to enter the desired filter and constructs the ready-to-use CompositeFilterDescriptor filter expression as a value.

The following example demonstrates how to implement external data filtering using a standalone Filter component, which accepts field definitions and returns a composite filter descriptor object for application in the Grid.
