Per-column filter row ("dual filter")
Prop enableColumnFilterRow — engine behaviour, default false.
Guide
When to use it
Let users filter each column from a dedicated input row under the headers — the "dual filter" layout, on top of (or instead of) the global search box.
How it works
It adds a second header row of per-column filter inputs. It's also the host for the richer
filter widgets: enableSetFilter (a checklist of values) and enableMultiFilter (stacked filter
types) render into this row.
Gotchas
- Requires
enableColumnFilters— it's the UI for that engine behaviour and a no-op without it. - It's always available in the settings sheet ("Columns"), so an end-user can switch it on themselves.

Example source
import React from 'react'
import { BstTableMui } from '@bloomskill/table-mui'
import type { BstTableColumn } from '@bloomskill/table-engine'
import '@bloomskill/table-engine/styles.css'
type Row = { id: string; name: string; team: string; role: string; score: number }
const seed: Row[] = [
{ id: '1', name: 'Ada Lovelace', team: 'Platform', role: 'Engineer', score: 92 },
{ id: '2', name: 'Alan Turing', team: 'Research', role: 'Scientist', score: 88 },

{ id: '4', name: 'Katherine J.', team: 'Research', role: 'Analyst', score: 90 },
{ id: '5', name: 'Edsger Dijkstra', team: 'Platform', role: 'Architect', score: 84 },
]
const columns: BstTableColumn<Row>[] = [
{ id: 'name', accessorKey: 'name', header: 'Name' },
{ id: 'team', accessorKey: 'team', header: 'Team' },
{ id: 'role', accessorKey: 'role', header: 'Role' },
{ id: 'score', accessorKey: 'score', header: 'Score', sortFn: 'basic' },

)
}
Overview
| Layer | enable* (engine, resolved in useBstTable) |
| Type | boolean |
| Default | false |
| Maps to | engine header row (needs enableColumnFilters). Always shown in the settings sheet ("Columns", alwaysShow) so end-users can switch it on themselves |
| Status | ✅ done (Phase 3; always-in-settings v0.29.0) |
| Since | v0.9.0 |
| Settings sheet | Columns |
Render a per-column filter row under the header (the "dual filter" — works alongside the filter-builder panel; both drive columnFilters). Each column gets a type-appropriate control (text/number/date input, select dropdown, boolean tri-state). Needs enableColumnFilters. Default: false.
Enable it
<BstTableMui
data={rows}
columns={columns}
enableColumnFilterRow
/>
