Filter builder UI
Prop showFilterBuilder — adapter chrome, default false.
Guide
When to use it
Give users a panel to build column filters with explicit operator rows — richer than the inline filter row for complex, multi-column filtering.
How it works
Adds a "Filters (n)" toolbar button that opens a panel of per-column, operator-aware condition rows.
Combine it with enableColumnFilterRow for a second, inline per-column row.
Gotchas
- Backed by
enableColumnFilters(the engine behaviour it drives). - Chrome — it needs
showToolbarto surface the button.

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: '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' },

export default function App() {
return (
<BstTableMui data={seed} columns={columns} getRowId={(r) => r.id}
showFilterBuilder enableColumnFilterRow />

Spec codes (
A1,C2,X8, …) are Bst-Table's internal requirement IDs from the capability matrix;P0–P2mark the delivery phase. They are traceability tags, not part of the public API.
