Customizing filter

Tags: #<Tag:0x00007efc64dd4c78>

Hello.
I’m using Handsontable to develop a data cleaning tool.
To modify typos, I’m now trying to implement a feature showing the cells with a string similar to an input. And I’m considering using the filter for it.
Can the custom filter be added to the existing filter conditions? For now, there are conditions such as “is empty,” “is not empty,” “begins with,” “ends with,” etc. And is it possible to add a custom filter “similar to” using a string similarity algorithm?
Thank you.

Hey @rmh0313

unfortunately, we do not handle custom filters yet, however you are able to add custom dropdownMenu options. Here’s an example http://jsfiddle.net/AMBudnik/5ob8drut/ on how to access the dropdownMenu items object.
