Setup for filter

Create varriable

final ValueNotifier<Set<FieldSortOrder>> sortOrders = ValueNotifier({});
final ValueNotifier<List<FieldAdvancedFilter>> advancedFilter = ValueNotifier([]);

Init example Data

late final List<Map<String, dynamic>> originExampleData;
late final ValueNotifier<List<Map<String, dynamic>>> exampleDataSearch;

@override
void initState() {
  originExampleData = ExampleData.generateExampleData();
  exampleDataSearch = ValueNotifier(originExampleData);
  super.initState();
}

Widget

// Sort Button
SizedBox(
  width: 130,
  child: SortAnchor.button(
    sortOrders: sortOrders,
    fields: ExampleData.fields,
    onChanged: (sortOrders) {
      final filterEngine = FilterEngine(
        data: originExampleData,
        sortOrders: sortOrders,
      );
      final result = filterEngine.sortList();
      exampleDataSearch.value = result;
    },
  ),
),
// Filter Button
SizedBox(
  width: 130,
  child: AdvancedFilterAnchor.button(
    advancedFilter: advancedFilter,
    fields: ExampleData.fields,
    onChanged: (advancedFilter) {
      final filterEngine = FilterEngine(
        data: originExampleData,
        filterGroup: FilterGroup(name: "My Filter", rules: advancedFilter),
      );
      final result = filterEngine.filterList();
      exampleDataSearch.value = result;
    },
  ),
),
// Sort & Filter
SizedBox(
  width: 130,
  child: ElevatedButton(
    child: const Text("Apply Filter and Sort"),
    onPressed: () {
      final filterEngine = FilterEngine(
        data: originExampleData,
        filterGroup: FilterGroup(name: "Name of your filter", rules: advancedFilter.value),
        sortOrders: sortOrders.value,
      );
      final result = filterEngine.applyFilterAndSort();
      exampleDataSearch.value = result;
    },
  ),

FilterEngine

Overview

The FilterEngine allows you to filter and sort a collection of data based on customizable rules and sort orders. It is designed to handle complex filtering scenarios using logical operators like AND and OR.

Features

• Flexible filtering of data using multiple rules.
• Logical operators (AND/OR) for combining rules.
• Natural sorting with support for multiple fields and order directions.
• Easy integration with Dart and Flutter projects.

Data Structure

The data to be filtered and sorted should be a list of maps with keys corresponding to field names. For example:

final data = [
  {'name': 'Alice', 'age': 25, 'city': 'New York'},
  {'name': 'Bob', 'age': 30, 'city': 'Los Angeles'},
  {'name': 'Charlie', 'age': 22, 'city': 'Chicago'},
];

Define Fields and Filters

Define Fields

Fields represent the columns or attributes of your data:

final nameField = Field(name: 'name');
final ageField = Field(name: 'age', type: FieldType.Number);

Define Filters

Filters specify conditions for filtering data:

final ageFilter = FieldAdvancedFilter(
  field: ageField,
  value: 25,
  mustMatch: FilterMustMatch.and,
);

final nameFilter = FieldAdvancedFilter(
  field: nameField,
  value: 'Alice',
  mustMatch: FilterMustMatch.or,
);

Create a Filter Group

Combine multiple filters into a group:

final filterGroup = FilterGroup(
  name: 'Sample Filter Group',
  rules: [ageFilter, nameFilter],
);

Define Sort Orders

Specify the sorting order for fields:

final sortOrder = FieldSortOrder(
  field: ageField,
  orderBy: OrderByOperator.ascending,
);

Apply Filters and Sorting

Use the FilterEngine to filter and sort your data:

final engine = FilterEngine(
  data: data,
  filterGroup: filterGroup,
  sortOrders: {sortOrder},
);

final result = engine.applyFilterAndSort();
print(result);
