It is often useful to have a default filter on an entity in the Admin UI. In some cases you might want to show only records that are active
, or you might have a soft-delete type of use case where you want to default to showing only entities that are not marked as deleted.
To do this, use the @AdminUISettings()
decorator and pass the defaultFilter
option. Here’s code from the database example that defaults the Admin UI to only showing users that have not been marked as deleted
:
@AdminUISettings<User>({
defaultFilter: {
deleted: false,
},
})
@ObjectType('User')
export class User extends GraphQLEntity<OrmUser> {
// ...
}
Can I Force a Filter?
This is a default filter that users can still change. If you want to force a filter for the backend, you are probably interested in
If you want to force a filter on the Admin UI only, there is not currently a way to do that, but we’d be keen to hear more about your use case. Open an issue and let us know how you’d like it to work.
