# Available Filters

LaraGrid provides several filter classes out of the box:

1. **BaseFilter**: This is the abstract base class for all filter types. It defines the basic structure and methods that all filters must have. It has methods like `setBuilder` which sets a closure that modifies the query builder based on the filter's value.
2. **TextFilter**: This class extends `BaseFilter` and is used for filtering text fields. It sets the filtration type by default to `LIKE` and filter type to `TEXT`.

```php
use BoredProgrammers\LaraGrid\Filters\TextFilter;

Column::make('name', 'Name')->setFilter(TextFilter::make()),
```

3. **SelectFilter**: This class extends `BaseFilter` and is used for filtering select fields. It sets the filtration type by default to `EQUAL` and filter type to `SELECT`. It also has methods to set options for the select filter.

```php
use BoredProgrammers\LaraGrid\Filters\SelectFilter;

Column::make('status', 'Status')
    ->setFilter(
        SelectFilter::make()->setOptions([
            'active' => 'Active',
            'inactive' => 'Inactive',
        ])
    ),
```

4. **DateFilter**: This class extends `BaseFilter` and is used for filtering date fields. It sets the filtration type bu default to `DATE_BETWEEN` and filter type to `DATE`.

```php
use BoredProgrammers\LaraGrid\Filters\DateFilter;

Column::make('created_at', 'Created At')->setFilter(DateFilter::make()),
```

5. **BooleanFilter**: This class extends `SelectFilter` and is used for filtering boolean fields. It sets predefined options for boolean values.

```php
use BoredProgrammers\LaraGrid\Filters\BooleanFilter;

Column::make('is_active', 'Is Active')->setFilter(BooleanFilter::make()),
```
