Filter on date column using checkbox for past due

[gmswsd]

Hi

When building the colModel the below will show records where the due date is less than today, however it still shows blank values.
I tried notempty but could not get it to work.
Also how can I put this in a checkbox in the toolbar.

{title: "Due Date", width: 30, dataType: "date", filter: {
crules: [
{ condition: "less", value: new Date()}, //set initial value of filter
{ condition: "great", value: ""}
]
}},

Please use notempty condition.

Code: [Select]

crules: [
 { condition: "less", value: new Date()}, //set initial value of filter
 { condition: "notempty"}],
 mode: "AND"
]

Thanks paramvir,
That works great when loading, however how can that filter be turned on and off based on a checkbox in the toolbar?

For runtime manipulation of filter from checkbox in toolbar, please call filter method in checkbox listener.

Hi Paramvir,
Struggling with this.
Tried a number of combinations. 
How do I get the column object?
How do I know if the checkbox is checked or not?
How do I clear this filter when it is unchecked?



                        {
                            type: 'checkbox',
                            label: "Over Due",
                            listener: function () {
                                this.colModel.filter({
                                    oper: 'replace',
                                    rules: [
                                        {
                                            dataIndx: 'Due Date',
                                            mode: "AND",
                                            crules: [
                                                {condition: "less", value: new Date()}, //set initial value of filter
                                                {condition: "notempty"}]
                                        }]
                                })
                            }
                        },

There is no need of column object in filter method call. dataIndx is used in filter method call.

evt.target.checked provides the checkbox state. Example: https://paramquery.com/pro/demos/wrap

Filter is cleared by passing empty crules array []

Please share a jsfiddle if still facing problems.

Thanks paramvir, 
The filter and checkbox work perfectly now if the columns don't move.  When columns move it no longer works.
Here is the jsfiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/WebSalesDesign/hcw512dk/6/

your findTitle function logic is incorrect, it returns colIndx instead of dataIndx.

Corrected version:

Code: [Select]

function findTitle(CM, val) {
    return (CM.find(function(col){
    return col.title == val
    }) || {}).dataIndx;
};

Note: It's easier to use json data instead of array data, in that case you don't need findTitle function.

Thanks once again Paramvir,
This works.
I originally used array to reduce data size and increase speed, however I will switch it over to json data like you suggested.
