Kendo UI for jQuery Filter Overview

The jQuery Filter control is a powerful component, which allows you to create a filter that can be used by the Kendo DataSource. It provides an intuitive UI and a variety of options about how to create the underlying filter expression. You can apply the filter to the data source by clicking the built-in Apply button or manually by using the applyFilter method. The Filter supports editors customization in the form of templates. Each time the expression is changed, you are notified by the change event, thus allowing you to reapply it if needed. To better understand the structure of the Filter expression, the Filter has a preview functionality that visualizes the filter that will be applied.

The current example shows how you can filter various products by different criteria such as the price, name, or description.

The jQuery Filter control is part of Kendo UI for jQuery, a comprehensive, professional-grade UI library for building modern and feature-rich applications. The Kendo UI for jQuery collection provides 110+ UI components, an abundance of data-visualization gadgets, client-side data source, and a built-in MVVM (Model-View-ViewModel) library.

This Filter example is part of a unique collection of hundreds of jQuery demos, with which you can see all Kendo UI for jQuery components and their features in action. View the source code of the demos from the library or directly adapt, and edit them and their theme appearance in Kendo UI for jQuery Dojo or ThemeBuilder.
