Add 'filterable' parameter to columnMetaData

[nlien]

Hi! First off; thanks for this library- and its ease of use. Nice to see good documentation, especially with lots of examples.

I see that the 'sortable' parameter for columnMetaData has gotten into the code, but it's still not documented.

I'd love to see a boolean parameter (t.ex. 'filterable'), which excludes/includes that particular column when performing filtering.

Is this something you are planning to implement?

Hey @nlien Thank you for the kind words! This is a fantastic idea and is something we plan on implementing in the near future.

+1, would love to see this!

i would love to see a variation of this where a filterable property set to true for a column would provide a column specific filter input, something similar to this: http://allenfang.github.io/react-bootstrap-table/example.html#filter

Cool - we are planning on supporting this type of functional as a plugin after 1.0 ships :) If anyone wants to try their hand at it beforehand, please ping me and I'll help you get setup on that :)

I would love to take a crack at this if this is still relevant (and if it falls within my capabilities 😄). Please let me know if there is anything I should know before I get started on this.

That would be awesome. I think the operation should mostly be in here https://github.com/GriddleGriddle/Griddle/blob/master/scripts/griddle.jsx#L148. I think right before checking the column against the filter string, we would want to make sure that the column is not filterable={false}. Please let me know if that helps.

Thanks for the pointer, Ryan - certainly was helpful. Please let me know my changes are not adequate.
