Low-level API

If you want to fully control the Filter Numeric Range components and connect them manually, use the following components:

  • Searcher: The Searcher that handles your searches.
  • FilterState: The current state of the filters.
  • FilterRangeViewModel: The logic applied to the numeric ranges.
  • NumberRangeView: The view that renders the numeric range filter.
