FE: Column Filtering Support for Kafka connects table

[Vixtir]

• Breaking change? (if so, please describe the impact and migration path for existing application instances)

What changes did you make? (Give an overview)

What’s Added

• Extended column meta definition for TanStack Table with a new property:
  meta.filterVariant?: 'multi-select'

• Added support for column-level filtering based on filter variant.

How to Enable Filtering for a Column

A column that supports filtering must define:

• accessorKey
• meta.filterVariant e.g. 'multi-select'
• filterFn (e.g. 'arrIncludesSome')

Example

const kafkaConnectColumns: ColumnDef<FullConnectorInfo>[] = [
  {
    header: 'Connect',
    accessorKey: 'connect',
    cell: BreakableTextCell,
    meta: { filterVariant: 'multi-select' },
    filterFn: 'arrIncludesSome',
  }, ...
]

URL Filter Persistence

Introduced queryPersister to sync filters with the URL.
This avoids polluting the main Table component with filter state management logic.

Columns filtering Persistence logic is extracted intoFilter/lib/persistermodule.

All persisters implement the following interface:

export interface Persister {
  getPrevState: () => ColumnFiltersState;
  update: (nextState: ColumnFiltersState, resetPagination?: boolean) => void;
}

The approach is scalable — new filter variants or persisters (e.g., localStorage, session, or in-memory) can be added with minimal changes.

Pagination can optionally be reset on filter change via the resetPagination argument.

Is there anything you'd like reviewers to focus on?
