blockr.dplyr (version 0.1.0)

new_filter_block: Filter block constructor

Description

This block allows filtering rows in a data frame by selecting specific values from columns (see dplyr::filter()). Provides a visual interface where users can select columns and choose which values to include or exclude without writing R expressions. Supports multiple conditions with AND/OR logic.

Usage

new_filter_block(conditions = list(), preserve_order = FALSE, ...)

Value

A block object for value-based filter operations

Arguments

conditions

List of filter conditions. Each condition should be a list with elements: column (character), values (vector), mode ("include" or "exclude"), and optionally operator ("&" or "|") specifying how this condition connects to the previous one

preserve_order

Logical. If TRUE, preserves the order of selected values in the filtered output (default: FALSE)

...

Additional arguments forwarded to blockr.core::new_block()

Details

For expression-based filtering, see new_filter_expr_block().

Examples

# Create a filter block
new_filter_block()

if (interactive()) {
  # Basic usage with mtcars dataset
  library(blockr.core)
  serve(new_filter_block(), list(data = mtcars))

  # With initial condition
  serve(new_filter_block(
    conditions = list(
      list(column = "cyl", values = c(4, 6), mode = "include")
    )
  ), list(data = mtcars))

  # Connected blocks example
  serve(
    new_board(
      blocks = list(
        a = new_dataset_block(),
        b = new_filter_block()
      ),
      links = links(
        from = c("a"),
        to = c("b")
      )
    )
  )
