Filter Buddy

Filter Buddy allows me to easily define filter options for frontend components, like tables. Three display modes allow me to display filter options as a single filter button, a set of visible filters with additional hidden, or all filters immediately visible. When a user clicks "search", Filter Buddy returns a single object with all filter values which can be passed to a backend or client-side table component.

Minimal View

• Shows a filter button through which a user may add filters.
• Shows tags indicating which filters are currently in effect.
• Shows a search button to initiate the search process.
• When the filter button is clicked, switches to the full-size view so that users may enter filter values.

Minimal with Default Filters

• Shows all features of the minimal view.
• Some filters can be tagged for immediate display.

Full-Size View

• Shows every filter a user may set.
