    Column Filtering Feature Guide

    Filtering is one of the most powerful features of Material React Table and is enabled by default. There is a lot of flexibility and customization available here. Whether you want to customize the powerful client-side filtering already built in or implement your own server-side filtering, Material React Table has got you covered.

    Disable Filtering Features

    Various subsets of filtering features can be disabled. If you want to disable filtering completely, you can set the enableColumnFilters prop to false to remove all filters from each column. Alternatively, enableColumnFilter can be set to false for individual columns.

    enableFilters can be set to false to disable both column filters and the global search filter.

    Filter Match Highlighting

    New in v1.6

    Filter Match Highlighting is a new featured enabled by default that will highlight text in the table body cells that matches the current filter query with a shade of the theme.palette.warning.main color.

    Filter Match Highlighting will only work on columns with the default text filter variant. Also, if you are using a custom Cell render override for a column, you will need to use the renderedCellValue prop instead of cell.getValue() in order to preserve the filter match highlighting.

    const columns = [
    {
    accessorKey: 'name',
    header: 'Name',
    Cell: ({ renderedCellValue }) => <span>{renderedCellValue}</span>, // use renderedCellValue instead of cell.getValue()
    },
    ];

    Disable Filter Match Highlighting

    This feature can be disabled by setting the enableFilterMatchHighlighting prop to false.

    <MaterialReactTable
    columns={columns}
    data={data}
    enableFilterMatchHighlighting={false}
    />

    Filter Variants

    Material React Table has several built-in filter variants for advanced filtering. These can be specified on a per-column basis using the filterVariant option. The following variants are available:

    • 'text' - shows the default text field

    • 'select' - shows a select dropdown with the options specified in filterSelectOptions

    • 'multi-select' - shows a select dropdown with the options specified in filterSelectOptions and allows multiple selections with checkboxes

    • 'range' - shows min and max text fields for filtering a range of values

    • 'range-slider' - shows a slider for filtering a range of values

    • 'checkbox' - shows a checkbox for filtering by 'true' or 'false' values (Strings)

    Faceted Values for Filter Variants

    New in v1.13

    Faceted values are a list of unique values for a column that gets generated under the hood from table data when the enableFacetedValues prop is set to true. These values can be used to populate the select dropdowns for the 'select' and 'multi-select' filter variants, or the min and max values for the 'range-slider' variant. This means that you no longer need to manually specify the filterSelectOptions prop for these variants manually, especially if you are using client-side filtering.

    Custom Faceted Values

    If you are using server-side pagination and filtering, you can still customize the faceted values output with the getFacetedUniqueValues and getFacetedMinMaxValues props.

    <MaterialReactTable
    columns={columns}
    data={data}
    enableFacetedValues={true}
    //if using server-side pagination and filtering
    getFacetedMinMaxValues={(table) => {
    //fetch min and max values from server
    return [minValue, maxValue];
    }
    //if using server-side filtering
    getFacetedUniqueValues={(table) => {
    const uniqueValueMap = new Map<string, number>();
    //fetch unique values from server, ideally including the count of each unique value
    return uniqueValueMap;
    }}
    />

    Custom Filter Functions

    You can specify either a pre-built filterFn that comes with Material React Table or pass in your own custom filter functions.

    Custom Filter Functions Per Column

    By default, Material React Table uses a fuzzy filtering algorithm based on the popular match-sorter library from Kent C. Dodds. However, Material React Table also comes with numerous other filter functions that you can specify per column in the filterFn column options.

    Pre-built MRT Filter Functions

    Pre-built filter functions from Material React Table include between, betweenInclusive, contains, empty, endsWith, equals, fuzzy, greaterThan, greaterThanOrEqualTo, lessThan, lessThanOrEqualTo, notEmpty, notEquals, and startsWith. View these algorithms here

    Pre-built TanStack Table Filter Functions

    Pre-built filter functions from TanStack Table include includesString, includesStringSensitive, equalsString, equalsStringSensitive, arrIncludes, arrIncludesAll, arrIncludesSome, weakEquals, and inNumberRange. View more information about these algorithms in the TanStack Table Filter docs.

    You can specify either a pre-built filter function, from Material React Table or TanStack Table, or you can even specify your own custom filter function in the filterFn column option.

    const columns = [
    {
    accessorKey: 'firstName',
    header: 'First Name',
    // using a prebuilt filter function from Material React Table
    filterFn: 'startsWith',
    },
    {
    accessorKey: 'middleName',
    header: 'Middle Name',
    // using a prebuilt filter function from TanStack Table
    filterFn: 'includesStringSensitive',
    },
    {
    accessorKey: 'lastName',
    header: 'Last Name',
    // custom filter function
    filterFn: (row, id, filterValue) =>
    row.getValue(id).startsWith(filterValue),
    },
    ];

    If you provide a custom filter function, it must have the following signature:

    (row: Row<TData>, id: string, filterValue: string | number) => boolean;

    This function will be used to filter 1 row at a time and should return a boolean indicating whether or not that row passes the filter.

    Add Custom Filter Functions

    You can add custom filter functions to the filterFns prop. These will be available to all columns to use. The filterFn prop on a column will override any filter function with the same name in the filterFns prop.

    const columns = [
    {
    accessorKey: 'name',
    header: 'Name',
    filterFn: 'customFilterFn',
    },
    ];
    return (
    <MaterialReactTable
    data={data}
    columns={columns}
    filterFns={{
    customFilterFn: (row, id, filterValue) => {
    return row.customField === value;
    },
    }}
    />
    );

    Filter Modes

    Enable Column Filter Modes (Filter Switching)

    If you want to let the user switch between multiple different filter modes from a drop-down menu on the Filter Textfield, you can enable that with the enableColumnFilterModes prop or column option. This will enable the filter icon in the filter text field to open a drop-down menu with the available filter modes when clicked.

    <MaterialReactTable columns={columns} data={data} enableColumnFilterModes />

    Customize Filter Modes

    You can narrow down the available filter mode options by setting the columnFilterModeOptions prop or a column specific columnFilterModeOptions option.

    const columns = [
    {
    accessorKey: 'firstName',
    header: 'First Name',
    columnFilterModeOptions: ['fuzzy', 'contains', 'startsWith'],
    },
    {
    accessorKey: 'age',
    header: 'Age',
    columnFilterModeOptions: ['between', 'lessThan', 'greaterThan'],
    },
    ];

    Render Custom Filter Mode Menu

    You can also render custom menu items in the filter mode drop-down menu by setting the renderColumnFilterModeMenuItems prop or column option. This option is a function that takes in the column and returns an array of MenuItem components. This is useful if you want to add custom filter modes that are not included in Material React Table, or if you just want to render the menu in your own custom way

    const columns = [
    {
    accessorKey: 'firstName',
    header: 'First Name',
    renderColumnFilterModeMenuItems: ({ column, onSelectFilterMode }) => [
    <MenuItem
    key="startsWith"
    onClick={() => onSelectFilterMode('startsWith')}
    >
    Start With
    </MenuItem>,
    <MenuItem
    key="endsWith"
    onClick={() => onSelectFilterMode('yourCustomFilterFn')}
    >
    Your Custom Filter Fn
    </MenuItem>,
    ],
    },
    ];
    return (
    <MaterialReactTable
    columns={columns}
    data={data}
    enableColumnFilterModes
    // renderColumnFilterModeMenuItems could go here if you want to apply to all columns
    />
    );

    Expanded Leaf Row Filtering Options

    If you are using the filtering features along-side either the grouping or expanding features, then there are a few behaviors and customizations you should be aware of.

    Check out the Expanded Leaf Row Filtering Behavior docs to learn more about the filterFromLeafRows and maxLeafRowFilterDepth props.

    Manual Server-Side Column Filtering

    A very common use case when you have a lot of data is to filter the data on the server, instead of client-side. In this case, you will want to set the manualFiltering prop to true and manage the columnFilters state yourself like so (can work in conjunction with manual global filtering).

    // You can manage and have control over the columnFilters state yourself
    const [columnFilters, setColumnFilters] = useState([]);
    const [data, setData] = useState([]); //data will get updated after re-fetching
    useEffect(() => {
    const fetchData = async () => {
    // send api requests when columnFilters state changes
    const filteredData = await fetch();
    setData([...filteredData]);
    };
    }, [columnFilters]);
    return (
    <MaterialReactTable
    columns={columns}
    data={data} // this will already be filtered on the server
    manualFiltering //turn off client-side filtering
    onColumnFiltersChange={setColumnFilters} //hoist internal columnFilters state to your state
    state={{ columnFilters }} //pass in your own managed columnFilters state
    />
    );

    Specifying manualFiltering turns off all client-side filtering and assumes that the data you pass to <MaterialReactTable /> is already filtered.

    Here is the full Remote Data example featuring server-side filtering, pagination, and sorting.

    Customize Material UI Filter components

    You can customize the Material UI filter components by setting the muiTableHeadCellFilterTextFieldProps prop or column option.

    You can also turn a filter textfield into a select dropdown by setting the filterSelectOptions prop or column option.

    Custom Filter Components

    If you need custom filter components that are much more complex than text-boxes and dropdowns, you can create and pass in your own filter components using the Filter column option.
