Large row count

[chrisfabri]

this works well when the row count is modest. in my use case, the row count is quite large - 100k or so. With so many rows, the the 'right click' on the column simply does not return. The number of variants for that column are roughly 100k as well.

Basically, I need to filter from 100k rows down to something more manageable.

Ideally, one would like to type in some filter condition, for a given column, and filter the rows down consistent with that filter condition. The current API is pretty reasonable except that it seems to require the reading/displaying of all 100k variants in the filter popup.

When the row number and/or unique items in a column is very high, the current approach no longer works since that popup is not displayed.

Given that you already have a use case in front of you, do you want to give it a try and send me a pull request? :)

not sure what you mean....not sure what a put request is....I'm using the lib now - works really well - I just haven't figured out how to get around the issue I mentioned.

basically - there are too many variants in some columns for the current approach to work e.g. even if the popup did come up, I would not really be able to filter (with a simple string) on 100k cases.

what I need is a way to type in a regex. is there an entry point in the code to add a custom filter (which can take a regex)?

What I mean is that you can fork a project here on GitHub, make the changes required by your use case and then send me a request (right here on github) to pull your changes in, which is called "pull request". Since the project is open sourced- anyone can look at the code and change it
