Make global filter use column custom filters

[gunnartorfis]

A table uses a custom filtering just for one column.

How do I make the global filter use the custom filter for that column but the default built-in one (text) for the remaining columns?

@tannerlinsley can I bump this one?

I have similar problem - my column data is JSON, I can make custom filter algorithm with column.filter, but it works only for colum-only filter, not global one

May be I am too late here.But this was how I created custom global filter:

const filterTypes = React.useMemo(
    () => ({
      customFilterName: (rows, columnIds, filterValue) => {
       // custom logic
        });
      }
    }),
    []
  );

  const instance = useTable(
    {
      columns,
      data,
      ...
     ... ,
      globalFilter: customFilterName,
      filterTypes
    },
    useGlobalFilter
  );

filter works when accessor is stringified json for me

On first reading the docs, I thought this was the behavior of filterFn on the column def. But no, filterFn is only for the column's individual filter.

It seems what's needed is a globalFilterFn on the column def, which allows a per-column global filter fn which overrides the table one.
