JavaScript/jQuery DataGrid - headerFilter

Configures the header filter feature.

Type:

HeaderFilter

A header filter allows a user to filter values in an individual column by including/excluding them in/from the applied filter. A click on a header filter icon invokes a popup menu with all unique values in the column. By selecting or clearing the selection of values in this menu, the user includes/excludes them in/from the filter.

DevExtreme HTML5 JavaScript jQuery Angular Knockout UI component DataGrid HeaderFilter

To make header filter icons visible, assign true to the headerFilter.visible property.

A header filter's popup menu lists all column values. If they are numbers or dates, you can group them using the groupInterval property in the column's headerFilter. You can also provide a custom data source for a header filter using the dataSource property.

NOTE
If a column has empty cells (null or ''), the header filter popup menu displays a (Blanks) item.

The user's filtering preferences are saved in the filterValues property. The header filter's Select All checkbox changes the filterType property.
