Discover the secrets to dynamically filtering data in Glide using user input! This step-by-step guide helps create interactive, responsive apps.
Creating apps with Glide becomes much more engaging and enjoyable for users when data can be filtered dynamically based on what the user inputs. This is done using user-specific columns, filters, and visibility conditions. Knowing how to use these features lets developers build apps that react instantly to what users do, offering tailor-made data views and ways to interact. Discover how to set up these filters, handle user input smoothly, and make sure your app provides personalized and fitting content with ease.
Alright, first things first, let's get your data ready. You can use a Google Sheet for this. Make sure your data is neatly organized in a table with clear column headers. For example, you might have columns like Product
, Category
, Price
, and Rating
.
Head over to Glide (https://www.glideapps.com/) and start a new app. Connect it to your Google Sheet. This will pull in all your data into Glide.
In Glide, go to the "Layout" tab and add a new screen. This screen will be where users can apply filters and see the filtered results.
On this new screen:
Category
, Price Range
, and Rating
. Set each choice component to get options from the corresponding columns in your data.In the "Data" tab:
UserSelectedCategory
, UserSelectedPriceRange
, and UserSelectedRating
columns.Go back to the screen where your data is displayed, like a list of products:
UserSelectedCategory
, UserSelectedPriceRange
, and UserSelectedRating
columns to filter the data dynamically. For example:Category
is equal to UserSelectedCategory
Price
is within UserSelectedPriceRange
Rating
is greater than or equal to UserSelectedRating
Preview the app and play around with the filter components. Make sure the displayed data updates dynamically based on what the user inputs.
By following these steps, your app users will be able to filter data dynamically within the Glide app using various input methods, like choices or text entry fields.
