problem
i cannot set a predefined, fixed valueFilter onto my table.
i have an unknown dataset with many possible values landing in my table as columns. i do have a well known values that I wan't to exclusively show.
for instance, consider a dataset of fruits: [apple, orange, banana, ...]
. additional unknown fruits, like papaya
and strawberry
, get added over time. now consider that i want to build a declarative, pre-canned table view that shows only oranges.
currently, i cannot do:
valueFilter: {
fruit: {
banana: true // or false
}
}
because all keys eventually get loaded into react-pivottables internal state.
discussion
can we support a valueFilter to support a declarative, props-driven filter that addresses the above problem?
