Additional 'filter[key]=value' parts in the datatable request url

Webix JS
#1

Hello.

I’d like to add some filters to my datatable (with server-side filters), but they should base on columns which are not shown and exist only inside my DB. How can I extend filters from datatable.getState().filter?

UPD:
this solution
http://docs.webix.com/desktop__server_proxy.html#creatingcustomproxyobjects
looks not good, because I should create my own url builder instead built-in one

Guys, actually I’m a Java coder and not too good in JS. I found next solution and I’d like you to check it:

var dt = $$('datatable');
var oldGetState = dt.getState;
voterTable.getState = function() {
    var state = oldGetState.apply(dt, null);
    state.filter['myAdditionalFilter'] = 'mad-mad JavaScript';
    return state;
};

can it brake something in your framework?

And one more question: how to highlight block of code in question in my forum message?

Hello,

the code should be placed between js~~~ and ~~~ marks to be highlighted.

As to the question itself, you can redefine the getState method, but there’s a better way to do this. You need to create a custom component based on datatable:

webix.protoUI({
    name:"mydatatable",
    getState:function{
       var state = webix.ui.datatable.prototype.getState.call(this);
       //your js code
       return state;
    }
});

webix.ui({
   view:"mydatatable", //other config
});

Thank you, Helga.
This solution looks much better.
