# Filter plugin
`Filter` is a DropLab plugin that allows for filtering data that has been added
to the dropdown using a simple fuzzy string search of an input value.
## Usage
Add the `Filter` object to the plugins array of a `DropLab.prototype.init` or
`DropLab.prototype.addHook` call.
- `Filter`: Requires a configuration value for `template`.
- `template`: Should be the key of the objects within your data array that you
want to compare to the user input string, for filtering.
```html
<input href="#" id="trigger" data-dropdown-trigger="#list">
<ul id="list" data-dropdown data-dynamic>
<li><a href="#" data-id="{{id}}">{{text}}</a></li>
<ul>
```
```javascript
const droplab = new DropLab();
const trigger = document.getElementById('trigger');
const list = document.getElementById('list');
droplab.init(trigger, list, [Filter], {
Filter: {
template: 'text',
},
});
droplab.addData('trigger', [{
id: 0,
text: 'Jacob',
}, {
id: 1,
text: 'Jeff',
}]);
```
In the previous code, the input string is compared against the `test` key of the
passed data objects.
Optionally you can set `filterFunction` to a function. This function will be
used instead of `Filter`'s built-in string search. `filterFunction` is passed
two arguments: the first is one of the data objects, and the second is the
current input value.
