Advanced Column Filtering (w/ operator and multiple per column)

[zikphil]

Hello,

I love tanstack-table and how customizable it is. I am trying to build a more advanced filtering system that what is shipped by default this library. I want to change the schema of the filter to be:

type ColumnFilterOperator = 'in' | 'lge' | 'gte' | 'eq' | etc...
export interface ColumnFilter {
  id: string
  value: unknown
  operator: ColumnFilterOperator
}

Ideally this would work in conjunction with a new field on ColumnDef called dataType that would only allow certain filter operators to be available. The goal is also to use this dataType to have default renderers for some columns, etc...

I am also trying to make it so you can have multiple ColumnFilters active at the same time for a given column. Unfortunately at this time, the ColumnFiltering feature is bundled with tanstack and therefor I cannot really replace it with a custom version that I can develop. So I am wondering what would be the best way to implement this without having to fork the library of wait for those feature to ship separately (Upcoming in Discussion #5595).

Any ideas on how to go about this? Can I replace the ColumnFiltering add on entirely or is there a way to implement this using overrides? Any feedback would be appreciated.
