How to Implement Unique Filters per Component in PrimeNG with Angular

When building applications with Angular and PrimeNG, particularly using DataTables or TurboTables, developers often encounter a common challenge: how to implement unique filtering for each table component. This issue arises when different tables are trying to use the same filter settings, which can lead to confusing results. In this post, we’ll explore a practical solution to ensure each instance of a PrimeNG component operates independently, especially when filtering data.

The Problem

Imagine you have multiple instances of a data grid component within the same page, like the following:

Each grid displays a separate dataset, but when filtering one grid, the filter settings from another grid interfere, resulting in incorrect data being presented. The issue primarily stems from the usage of the FilterUtils between the components, which can lead to shared states if not managed correctly.

The Solution

The key to solving this issue lies in configuring FilterUtils to maintain unique filters for each grid instance. Here’s a step-by-step approach:

Step 1: Update Filter Declaration

To ensure that filters are unique to each instance of your component, you should modify the filter declaration in your component code. Here's how to do it:

Step 2: Modify the Filter Key

In the line above, notice the use of this.isTotals which appends that variable to the filter method's name. By doing this, each table instance can have its own filter states without interference from other instances.

Step 3: Reflect Changes Across All Components

This method ensures that when one table's filter is altered, it will not affect the other table's filtering behavior, thus providing a seamless user experience.

Example of Full Implementation

Here’s how your method should look in context within your Angular component:

Understanding Changes in PrimeNG Versions

It is also worth noting that in later versions of PrimeNG, FilterUtils has transitioned into a service. This is significant because services in Angular provide a cleaner and more manageable way to maintain state and share utilities across components without running into issues of conflicting states.

Conclusion

By adjusting your filter declarations and utilizing unique keys for instances of FilterUtils, you can effectively manage individual filtering across multiple PrimeNG data grids. This approach not only resolves present issues but also aligns well with the evolving standards within Angular and PrimeNG framework usage.

In summary, ensuring that components maintain unique states will enhance the overall functionality of your application and improve user interaction. Don't hesitate to adapt these solutions to fit your project’s architecture better!
