CMS+ Filters+

Place them anywhere in your site, or insert them in a component to toggle their filtering function.

Common Controls

Most filters will have these common controls, or similar variations. Be sure to check each filter type for any unique controls, its filtering conditions, and additional feature details.

  • Collection+ ID Use the same ID number as the Collection+ you want to filter. Set up your Collection+ first.

  • Filter This control triggers the apply or clear filter function. Learn about this concept.

  • Field Name Must match exactly as the field is named in its collection.

  • Preserve Enable/disable syncing with the filter state. Read about preserving.

  • Condition A dropdown menu displaying the available filter options. Check each filter type to explore its specific selection choices.

  • Value The specific criteria for the filter.

Interactions

  • Active Filter Set the variant to be used when the filter is applied.

  • Inactive Filter Set the variant to be used when the filter is cleared.

Important

Both interactions are required when Preserve is enabled. Read about preserving.

Basic Setup

While these steps apply to most filters, be sure to check each filter type for any exclusive features or specific controls. If a filter has unique options, you'll find more details in the Filter+ Types section below.

  1. Ensure the Filter+ type matches the CMS field type.

  2. Integrate the Filter+ into your component. Learn how.

  3. Configure the Filter+ component controls in the primary variant. The available controls and options vary by component, so take time to explore each type to understand its specific requirements.

    Important

    If selecting to Preserve the filter state, add the required interactions: Active Filter & Inactive Filter

    Displays the required interactions for all CMS Plus Filter+ components when preserving.


  4. Override Filter in the other variant. This triggers its function when transitioning between variants. Learn about triggering functionality.

    CMS Plus filter with its Filter control overridden, this triggers its function.

Filter+ Types

Below is a list of every CMS Plus Filter+, each corresponding to a supported collection field. While most filters share consistent controls, some omit unnecessary ones, and others include unique controls. Each Filter+ details its filter condition options first, followed by any specialized features, controls, or setup instructions specific to that filter.

* Conditions exclusive to CMS Plus, offering additional options beyond Framer's native filters.

Specialized Controls

  • Date Value Set a date.

  • Text Value Input the date as a text in ISO 8601 format.

Using A Dynamic Date

Currently, Framer’s native fetching only supports text fields. Learn how to enable fetching for your project. Fetching is necessary to use dynamic dates, which requires an API that provides the time in ISO 8601 format.

With fetching, you can pass the current date in local time or specify a timezone. This functionality can be applied to both single date filters and date ranges. When selecting an API, it's important to carefully review its documentation for usage guidelines, pricing, and any limitations.

For the following example, I will be using TimeAPI.

  1. Set the Value Type to Text to enable Framer's native fetching.

  2. Click the + symbol next to Text Value and select Add Fetch.

  3. Enter your API's URL in the provided text box.

  4. Set Path to the property returning a text value in ISO 8601 format (e.g., dateTime in this example).

    An example of using fetching with Filter+ Date. Setting the path based on the used API.


  5. (Optional) In Advanced, set Cache to 1 Day to minimize fetch requests, as the date updates every 24 hours.

    Showing optional, but highly recommending setting to cache the value for 1 day.

    Support for Errors

    If any errors arise, consult your API's documentation for troubleshooting. CMS Plus cannot assist with Framer fetching errors.
