Button Group

Creates a group of single-select buttons for quick filtering

To see how to filter a query using a Button Group, see Filters.

Selected: 

<ButtonGroup 
    data={categories} 
    name=selected_category 
    value=category
/>

Selected: {inputs.selected_category}

Examples

Button Group using Options from a Query

Selected: 

<ButtonGroup 
    data={categories} 
    name=category_picker 
    value=category
/>

Selected: {inputs.category_picker}

With a Title

Select a Category

Selected: 

<ButtonGroup 
    data={categories} 
    name=category_selector 
    value=category
    title="Select a Category"
/>

Selected: {inputs.category_selector}

With a Default Value

Selected: %

<ButtonGroup
    data={categories} 
    name=selected_button
    value=category
>
    <ButtonGroupItem valueLabel="All Categories" value="%" default />
</ButtonGroup>

Note that "%" is a wildcard character in SQL that can be used with where column_name like '${inputs.name_of_button_group}' to return all values.

With Hardcoded Options

Selected: 

<ButtonGroup name=hardcoded_options>
    <ButtonGroupItem valueLabel="Option One" value="1" />
    <ButtonGroupItem valueLabel="Option Two" value="2" />
    <ButtonGroupItem valueLabel="Option Three" value="3" />
</ButtonGroup>

Selected: {inputs.hardcoded_options}

Alternative Labels

Selected: 

<ButtonGroup
    data={categories} 
    name=alternative_labels_selector
    value=category
    label=short_category
/>
