Class StringFilterBuilder

StringFilterBuilder

A builder for string filter controls.

A string filter is a simple text input field that lets the user filter data via string matching. Given a column of type string and matching options, this control filters out the rows that don't match the term that's in the input field.

For more details, see the Gviz documentation.

Methods

Method	Return type	Brief description
setCaseSensitive(caseSensitive)	StringFilterBuilder	Sets whether matching should be case sensitive or not.
setMatchType(matchType)	StringFilterBuilder	Sets whether the control should match exact values only (MatchType.EXACT), prefixes starting from the beginning of the value (MatchType.PREFIX), or any substring (MatchType.ANY).
setRealtimeTrigger(realtimeTrigger)	StringFilterBuilder	Sets whether the control should match any time a key is pressed or only when the input field 'changes' (loss of focus or pressing the Enter key).

Detailed documentation

setCaseSensitive(caseSensitive)

Sets whether matching should be case sensitive or not.
