Chaining yadcf multi_select filters together - yadcf

Question

Is there a way to chain filters together where by filters applied in one column will pre-filter the available filters in other columns? Primarily I'm interested in this from a multi_select standpoint, but it could be universal to all filters types I guess.
For example:
Column 1's data contains:
Oklahoma
Missouri
Utah
Texas
Kansas
Column 2's data contains:
Obama
Romney
From the dataset I know that all Column 1 data that has 'Oklahoma' will always mean that Column 2 will equal 'Romney'. Thus, if I select 'Oklahoma' from a mutli_select, then the drop down for the multi_select for Column 2 should now only show 'Romney'.
Basically, can I pre-filter my filters based on other filters already put in place?

Answer 1

I think you are asking about the cumulative_filtering: true option of yadcf,
See the showcase page and here a code sample:
$(document).ready(function () {
'use strict';
var oTable;
oTable = $('#example').DataTable();
yadcf.init(oTable,
[
{
column_number : 0,
filter_type: "multi_select",
select_type: 'select2'
},
{
column_number: 3,
filter_type: "auto_complete",
text_data_delimiter: ","
},
{
column_number : 4,
filter_type: "multi_select",
select_type: 'select2',
column_data_type: "html",
html_data_type: "text",
filter_default_label: "Select tag"
}
],
{
cumulative_filtering: true
}
);
});
As you see the cumulative_filtering: true is an object property, an object that that is a third argument of the init function, when using the .yadcf([{...}]) api you should pass that object as a second arument to the .yadcf constractor, like this:
.yadcf([{...}], {cumulative_filtering: true})
