Data Filtering

Build an instantly reactive UI for sifting through live data

For use cases like shopping for products in a certain category, viewing transactions in a given date range, or listing support tickets that haven't been answered yet, filtering UIs are a common feature of many web apps, to let users narrow down the data they're seeing to a certain subset based on user-specified properties. Convex makes it simpler than ever to build a performant, user-friendly filtering UI powered by built-in query filtering. Even complex filters combining multiple criteria are no big lift, as Convex's query filters can be chained together and/or applied conditionally as needed.
