Numeric Range Filters

Range filters are used to restrict the results to decimal values within a range. This is typically used for price ranges.

A query for numeric range filters looks like this:

Copy

Copied

... on NumericRangeFilter {
  id
  min
  max
  name
  value @client
  isActive @client
}

Notice the @client directives. These are added by the Flight framework and reflect the current value and active state of the filter.

value returns an array with 2 values: [min, max], indicating the current value of the filter.

useRangeFilter

The useRangeFilter hook can be used to update the range filter values for a NumericRangeFilter.

Copy

Copied

const { apply } = useRangeFilter({ filter });

Example

A typical way to use this component is with a range slider UI component. You can see a full example here in Trend. For the example, we have used react-slider.

A simple example below shows just the hook in action, without detailing how to use react-slider:

Copy

Copied

function RangeFilter({ filter }) {
  const { apply } = useRangeFilter({ filter });

  // Note that filter.value will be null if no value has been set
  const [currentMin, currentMax] = filter.value || [filter.min, filter.max];

  function increaseRange() {
    apply({ min: currentMin - 1, max: currentMax + 1 })
  }

  return (
    <>
      <h1>{filter.name}</h1>
      <div>Is active?: {filter.isActive ? 'true' : 'false'}<div>

      <div>The current range is: {currentMin} - {currentMax}</div>

      <button onClick={increaseRange}>Increase the range</button>
    </>
  );
}
