Multi-filter
Prop enableMultiFilter — engine behaviour, default false.
Guide
When to use it
When one column needs more than one kind of filter at once — say a text condition and a value checklist.
How it works
A column opts in with an array meta.filter (e.g. ['condition', 'set']); the parts render
stacked in the filter row and a row must satisfy all of them (AND). It stores a compound
{ op: 'and', conditions } value.
Gotchas
- Requires
enableColumnFilters+enableColumnFilterRow; a'set'part also needsenableSetFilter. - When off, an array
meta.filterfalls back to its first entry.

import type { BstTableColumn } from '@bloomskill/table-engine'
import '@bloomskill/table-engine/styles.css'

const columns: BstTableColumn<Row>[] = [
{ id: 'name', accessorKey: 'name', header: 'Name' },

]
const cols: BstTableColumn<Row>[] = columns.map((c) =>
c.id === 'name' ? { ...c, meta: { type: 'text', filter: ['condition', 'set'] } } : c)
export default function App() {
return (
<BstTableMui data={seed} columns={cols} getRowId={(r) => r.id}

)
}
Overview

| Maps to | custom — stack several filter types on one column. A column opts in with an array meta.filter (e.g. ['condition','set']), rendered stacked in its filter row; a row must satisfy all parts (AND). Stores a compound {op:'and',conditions} value the bstCondition filterFn understands (combineFilterConditions; FilterConditionGroup); BstSetFilter + the condition input each drive a positional slot. Needs enableColumnFilters + enableColumnFilterRow (a 'set' part needs enableSetFilter); when off, an array meta.filter falls back to its first entry. In settings ("Data operations", always shown).

Multi-filter — stack several filter types on one column. A column opts in with meta.filter as an array (e.g. ['condition', 'set']), which renders the listed filters stacked in its filter row; a row must satisfy all of them (AND). Needs enableColumnFilters + enableColumnFilterRow (and enableSetFilter for a 'set' part). Default: false.
Enable it
<BstTableMui
data={rows}
columns={columns}
enableMultiFilter
/>

Behavior & interactions
- Requires
enableColumnFilters,enableColumnFilterRowto be on — this flag is a no-op otherwise. - Multi-filter — stack several filter types on ONE column. Opt a column in with an ARRAY
meta.filter, e.g.meta.filter: ["condition", "set"], which stacks those filters in its filter row; a row must satisfy all of them (AND). A"set"part also needsenableSetFilter. When off, an arraymeta.filterfalls back to its first entry.
