javascript/jquery custom filters
<p>So I don't have that much experience with js or jquery and I'm working with python as my main language and just have this as a subtask so I lack knowledge in this area. My task is the following:</p>

<p>I get some custom data from the backend, let's say:</p>

<pre><code>&lt;DataType(name, start_date, author, nr_operation)&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>So those are the fields I have in the database. Now at the moment, I display all the information from the database with their names in a html select input. Now the problem is that the data can grow quite large so I need to be able so filter this someway.</p>

<p>Now my ideea is to let the user have a "add filter" button, when this is pressed create another select input, this time with ('name', 'start_date', 'author', 'nr_operation') and one or two input fields where he could enter the data and then handle this in the backend accordingly and repopulate my first select. </p>

<p>If this works fine maybe I'll try adding the possibility to add more filter/remove old ones. Now I'm guessing this can all be done is JS or JQuery. But I am not in the mood to reinvent the wheel here and given my lack of experience in this area I want to check first if anything of the sort is already implemented.</p>

<p>So my question would be, are there any plugins that offer this/ some of this functionality?</p>

<p>EDIT: To make myself clearer, I don't need to do the filtering in JS, the role of those "filters" would be to pass by ajax a list of the type {"name": "John Doe", "start_date", "01.01.1991"}.</p>

<p>Regards,
