The storefilterfield uses local filtering. You will need to create a custom FilterField that invokes a loader and so uses remote filtering.
Hello Sven.
Thank you for your answer. I followed your steps and without change too much code I got it.
I will explain my steps just in case someone else wants to know how to make it.
First (design a new component extending StoreFilterField).
You can make it cleaner without extend StoreFilterField and taking only the functions that you really need, but in my case I didn't have so much time.
public abstract class RemoteStoreFilterField<M extends ModelData> extends StoreFilterField<M> {
@Override
protected void onFilter () {
focus();
// call to the handler
handleOnFilter(getRawValue());
}
// handler that will call the rpc
protected abstract void handleOnFilter(String textoFiltro);
}
Second (declare the new component overriding the handler) and a private variable where we can save the text to filter.
private String text = null;
final RemoteStoreFilterField<TGraficosModel> filterField = new RemoteStoreFilterField () {
@Override
protected void handleOnFilter (String filter) {
if (filter == null || filter.equals(""))
text = null;
else
text = filter.toLowerCase();
// Call to the RPC
loader.load();
}
};
Third (declare the RpcProxy and the Loader)
We have to pass the filter text to the service.
final RpcProxy<PagingLoadResult<TGraficsModel>> proxy = new RpcProxy<PagingLoadResult<TGraficsModel>>() {
@Override
protected void load(Object loadConfig, AsyncCallback<PagingLoadResult<TGraficsModel>> callback) {
service.loadGrafics((FilterPagingLoadConfig) loadConfig, text, callback);
}
};
final PagingLoader<PagingLoadResult<ModelData>> loader = new BasePagingLoader<PagingLoadResult<ModelData>>(proxy) {
@Override
protected Object newLoadConfig() {
BasePagingLoadConfig config = new BaseFilterPagingLoadConfig();
return config;
}
};
Forth (using the service from the example Remote Filter Grid).
In the original code they are using a GridFilter but in our case we have the text from the FilterField, so we have to change the code.
Original code:
List<FilterConfig> filters = config.getFilterConfigs();
for (FilterConfig f : filters) {
Object ov = f.getValue();
String c = f.getComparison();
for (Stock s : stocks) {
Object value = s.get(f.getField());
if (f.isFiltered(s, ov, c, value)) {
remove.add(s);
}
}
}
Change to:
if (text != null)
for (TGraficsModel model: graficsModel) {
String field = model.get("NAME_PROPERTY_TO_FILTER").toString().toLowerCase();
if (!field.startsWith(text.toString().toLowerCase())) {
remove.add(model);
}
}
And that's all ;)
