Custom filters and pipelining together.
Custom filters and pipelining together.
Hello,
I am lightly exposed to datatables. So bear with me if my question is naive.
I understand the concept of custom filtering and pipelining. Each of them seems clear to me individually until they come together...
We are planning to build a table populated by potentially thousands of items, and the number of items in this table grows every single day. Therefore, pipelining almost seems a must for performance reasons. This is OK by itself.
Then in each item we have fields like creation date, name, etc. We want users to be able to define custom filters so that they can find the items they want quickly. For example, the user can come up with something like: "give me all the items created between April 1 and March 20, with name containing 'apple', appropriately paged". This is OK too by itself.
But what we want is both of them working smoothly with each other. We want the user to be able to define custom filters, and get the paged results, pipelined. We haven't found an existing example that has these two features working. If we want to implement this ourselves, how involved would this be?
Thanks!
