Search element in table (filters)

General

Hi.
could anybody give good examples of using filter in table. I need to do something like quick search for my table. All table datasource is taken from database and I want that search filter works with local data, it mean without any query to database. It is possible?
Build table…

List<XXX> list = xxx.getStaffCards();
qqq= new Table() {
			@Override
			protected String formatPropertyValue(Object rowId, Object colId, Property property) {
				if (property.getType() == Date.class) {
					SimpleDateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("dd.MM.yyyy hh:mm");
					return df.format((Date) property.getValue());
				}
				return super.formatPropertyValue(rowId, colId, property);
			}
};
some fields for this table...

Insert data to table

for (Iterator iterator = list.iterator(); iterator.hasNext();) {
			QQQ staffCard = (QQQ) iterator.next();
			Item row = zzz.addItem(eee.getId());
			row.getItemProperty("id").setValue(eee.getId());
}

Thank for your advices.

Hi Yury !

You can use filters for any Filterable container, such as BeanItemContainer, HierarchicalContainer, IndexedContainer.
Just set your filter(s) via addContainerFilter method and you’re filtered.

Hi Yury,

Table table = new Table() ..... 
BeanItemContainer data = new BeanItemContainer();

data.addBean( staffCard1 );
data.addBean( staffCard2 ); 
.....
.....
.....

table.setContainerDatasource(data);


// this will filter to shown only persons, which surname starts with "iva" , like Ivanoff, Ivanov etc...
// "staffSurname" is a name of a field in your StaffCard class
data.addContainerFilter("staffSurname", "iva", true, true);

P.S. the code above is just a live type to web form, may not compile due to mispells/mistypes
