header selectfilter label

How would you go about adding to a select filter a label for the default starting value that is empty

so based on the example:

how would you have the label for the default value (which is empty) be say the text “all”

It is rather simple for text filters ( you can use placeholder )
For select control, you need to alter text of an empty option, to do so you need to redefine all options for the filter.

I can see that the option definition is now required, but selecting “All” does not do the equivalent of an empty filter, how do you set the

{$empty: true, value:“All”}

to now act as if it was still an empty request so it shows all of the values

That’s great, do you know of a way to give each select option a different color?

@addisonp
preferred way is implementing own filter.

is it possible to give color to the option that is visible after you select it?

Hello,
You can use onAfterFilter (occurs after datatable was filtered) . To apply a style you can via addCss and removeCss
Please, check the sample:
