Description

Description

Some comments I've gathered from the community survey on the challenges/suggestions section:

I would only improve the documentation a little bit. For example, in the section on creating a filter it talks about two different filters, which may cause confusion. I think it would be good to show an example of a filter implemented from start to finish, which contains all or at least most of the functionality offered by the library. additionally, the openedx-filters-samples repository has a great variety of examples, but it shows the filter creation part, but not (I think) the filter usage which is also important.

Research direction

Start with the existing documentation section on creating a filter and review the examples in the openedx-filters-samples repository. Document one filter from creation through usage, covering as much of the library's functionality as the example supports; done means the guide is understandable without switching between conflicting filter examples.
