S3 FilterForms

Filter forms allow the user to apply filters to interactive views (e.g. data tables, data lists, reports etc.).

Framework

The framework for filter forms consists of 3 core components:

Client-side:

• a filter script to collect all values from filter widgets and convert them into a URL query

Server-side:

• the REST interface to interpret and apply the URL query as resource filter
• a filter form renderer to render the filter form and prepopulate it with the values from the URL query
