Description

Hi.

I stumbled across this project https://github.com/maca88/datatables.plugins#datatablesformfilter (DEMO: http://hartis.si/datatables/#/breeze/orders) where there is a variety of different filter options included to DataTables. I was wondering if this kind of advanced filter options are also possible for meteor.

I am pretty new to meteor and I didn't find a way to integrate the used methods from the Angular examples. If there isn't anything available yet, what would be the best way to integrate those filter functions? I would also like to create a generic way (maybe based on my collection schema) to detect the data type so that my column filter knows which kind of operators are allowed.

Best Regards

Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked DataTables plugin and demo, then inspect meteor-tabular's existing filtering entry points. Determine whether advanced operators and collection-schema data-type detection fit the project; done would require a concrete, scoped implementation plan rather than only a feasibility question.
