Is it possible to get a filter value in JS Chart Creation?

Renato Marcello dos Reis shared this question ago

Answered

Hi guys,

I hope everything is fine with all of you.

I was asked if we can get a filter value during the creation of a JS chart.

I do know that we receive the options from the generateChart function, and from it, we can get the dataset using options.dataset.data. Is it possible to obtain some selected filter values as well? If positive, can you guys show me an example of how can be done?

Thanks in advance.

Renato Marcello

Hi Renato,

Thanks for reaching out to support. That's a good question, some of these functions are in active development or have documentation hiding somewhere haha... let me look and ask around and get back to you on this.

Thanks,

Eric

Hi Renato,

My colleague John is going to brief me on some of the functionality of generateChart tomorrow, and it sounds like this is achievable. Should have some good info for you soon!

Thanks,

Eric

Hi Renato,

Here's the Cliff Notes from the call -

They just need a report with a filter. If they choose a filter option and click apply, it shows up under appliedFilters.

But at the end of the day, they just need to do:

console.log(JSON.stringify(options.reportAPI.appliedFilters));

Once you do options.reportAPI, you are accessing the Reports API and its methods are available to you.

Hope this helps!
