Prerequisites
Suggestion / feature request
The ix-category-filter is a great component, but sometimes we only want users to filter by specific categories, operators, and values, not by free text.
Currently, the component always allows free text input. This can cause issues:
Users might try to search for text when only category-based filtering is intended.
Developers have to create complex workarounds to prevent or ignore free text, which is inefficient.
Proposal:
Please add a property (e.g., disableFreeTextSearch="true") to the ix-category-filter.
Benefit:
This feature would make the ix-category-filter more flexible, allowing it to be used in more scenarios where strict, category-only filtering is required, without needing complicated custom code. It will improve user experience by guiding them to the correct filtering method and reduce developer effort.
