React Grid - Searching

The Grid component supports searching data programmatically or using the value an end user types in the corresponding Search Panel editor.

The following plugins implement the searching feature:

Note that plugin order is important.

Basic Setup

Import the plugins listed above to set up a Grid with basic searching.

Uncontrolled Mode

In uncontrolled mode, specify the initial searching value in the SearchState plugin's defaultValue property.

Controlled Mode

In controlled mode, pass the search option to the SearchState plugin's value property and handle the onValueChange event to control the search state externally.

Search in Visible Columns Only

The Grid component searches all columns, including those that are hidden using the TableColumnVisibility plugin. To prevent a search through invisible columns, use the IntegratedFiltering plugin's columnExtensions property.

Remote Searching

You can perform a search remotely by handling search value changes, generating a request, and sending it to the server.

Searching options are updated once an end user modifies the text in a Search Panel editor or other searching control. Handle search value changes using the SearchState plugin's onValueChange event and request data from the server using the applied searching options. Once the search data is received from the server, pass it to the Grid component's rows property.

NOTE: Do not use the IntegratedFiltering plugin for remote searching.
