Filter Bar

The Filter Bar is used to display and apply filters to a data set. It is most often used in conjunction with the Advanced Table, but is flexible enough to support different renderings of data sets such as in a list or grid of cards.

The Filter Bar comes paired with a complex dropdown menu that supports

Usage

When to use

• When displaying relevant filters and filters that have been applied to a data set.
• For common filter methods like multi-selection, single selection, numbers, dates, and times.

When not to use

• for complex query builder features.

Overlap with the Filter pattern guidance

The Filter Bar component is a successor to the Filter pattern documentation and supports the vast majority of filtering experiences within HashiCorp applications. New experiences should use the Filter Bar by default instead of the adhering to the pattern guidance, while already delivered features should consider migrating to the Filter Bar component.

Type

While we recommend that the Filter Bar be paired with the Advanced Table in most circumstances, the component is agnostic and can be paired with different ways of rendering a data set. To support this visually, the component features two types; attached and standalone.

Attached

Use the attached variant with the Advanced Table and standard Table.

Standalone

Use the standalone variant when a data set is rendered in formats other than a table, e.g., a list or array of cards.

Expand & collapse

• The Filter Bar supports expanding and collapsing the applied filters section
• This can simplify the visual noise around the data set, especially when many filters are applied
• When no filters are applied, the Filter Bar is collapsed by default. Otherwise, if the Filter Bar is expanded, the applied filters will display an empty state.
• The Filter Bar expands automatically when one or more filters are applied

Search

Bulk actions

The Filter Bar supports bulk actions corresponding with our recommendations for multi-select within a table, and can be used to perform bulk actions such as edit, delete, and different types of selection across the data set.

Generic content

If custom functionality is needed for manipulating the view or contents of the data set, a generic block is grouped with the bulk actions in the Filter Bar. We aren't prescriptive about what can be passed to this generic block, but it should generally be limited to additional actions (as Buttons) and Dropdowns with multiple grouped actions.

Applied filters

Applied filters are represented within a Tag displaying the filter parameter (the category or column the filter corresponds to) and the filter value (corresponding with the specific cell content).

Anatomy

Filter Bar

Filter Dropdown

The Filter Dropdown anatomy is dependent on the filter method and is dependent on the filtering method:

• Selection: multi-selection using checkboxes or single selection using radios.
• Input: numerical, date, time, datetime values, or a range between a start and end value.

Filter value selection

Filter value input

Filter value range input

When applying a filter value via an input, if Between is selected in the operator list, the input fields will be broken into a start value and end value.

Value input operators

Available operators are dependent on the type of data being filtered upon, but are generally either numerical, or date/time based.
