Part of #55083
Follow-up to #55270 (comment) and #55440 (comment)

What?

Extracts the search filter from the fields definition and pass it directly to the DataViews component.

Why?

The search filter is a cross-field filter and doesn't benefit from any field information. It's clearer if we make that obvious by passing it directly to the DataViews component. See the following conversations #55270 (comment) and #55440 (comment) as well.

How?

Pass filters as a new property of the DataViews component. These filters and the ones bound to the fields are treated the same.

Testing Instructions

  • Enable the "new admin" experiment.
  • Go to the site editor > pages > manage pages.
  • Use the search filter and verify that it works properly.

I'm not sure we're expecting more global filters like that, do we? The only piece of info needed with the current architecture is the key to be used in the query, and I believe we can safely start with a TextFilter outside of Filters component(render in dataviews.js).

I'd prefer not to make it a special case, to be honest. This way, DataViews is already future-proof for any other page/endpoint/etc.

Though it is a special case, no? It's a global filter. How it could affect any other page etc..?

My point is that I prefer to conceptualize it as a filter and do this:

<DataViews
  filters={ filters }
/>

rather than making it a special case and do this:

<DataViews
  search={search}
/>

The reason is this: what if a different page/endpoint has a global filter that is an enumeration or any other type of filter?

The first approach is future-proof: it requires no changes in the future, it already supports any type of filter (search, enumeration, and whatever we add in the future). The second approach would require us to make changes in DataViews API (new properties, etc.) even when it already supports those other filter types.

No strong opinions here, but I still don't get it. We still add the filters prop to the API and we're trying to support a use case that we don't have right now. The concept of having a text global filter in a list or in a collection in general is the most common one, by far I think. Maybe some others can chime in, but it's not something that important for now IMO. In my mind the prop would be something like globalFilter="$key".

What you are suggesting would be (note we still have to pass the label as well):

<DataViews
  globalFilter={ {id: "key", label: "Label" } }
/>

And what this PR proposes is:

<DataViews
  filters=[
    { id: "key", label: "Label", type: "type" }
  ]
/>

It's not that different :)

The only differences I see are:

Alternative Existing
Property name globalFilter filters
Property type object array of objects
Shape of objects Only id and label The same as field filters.

I feel strongly about the shape of filters being identical between field filters and global filters: I don't think we should do anything differently.

If it helps unlock this review and merge the PR, I am open to use globalFilter as name and use an object instead of an array. We could change that later if needed be.

After thinking more about it, while I still believe the global filter is a special case and will be almost a text filter every time, passing filters array allows a consumer to have more custom filters(if they need to) that are outside the specifics of a field. Let's land this.

Not related to this PR, but I notice TextFilter uses a default label. Since it's meant be used for other fields too, we should pass the label down(still having a default) and maybe update the filter.type to text? 🤔

Ah, good catch.

I've noticed something else. Let me push a few changes.

Fixed the label at 781446e

The other thing I was looking at was a false alarm – everything is fine.

To be honest, I'm not sure I'd consider "search" a filter at all. It may be its own thing.
