Min Max Price Filter for Wix Data Repeater

Hey there, and welcome back to the Wix Wiz. In this video, we're diving into a comprehensive tutorial on creating a Min Max Price Filter for Wix Data Repeater using Velo Code.

If you've been wanting to add advanced filters to your Wix website, especially for displaying data from a collection, you're in the right place. We're tackling a viewer-suggested topic straight from the Suggest and Vote section on the Wix Wiz YouTube page. Today's focus is on Advanced Filters, specifically demonstrating how to implement a price filter for a repeater displaying data from a collection.

The goal is to allow users to input a minimum and maximum price, dynamically filtering the displayed data accordingly. In this tutorial, we're covering two methods: one using input fields and the other utilizing a price range slider for a more visual experience. I've already set up a basic repeater and a car listing directory with a collection named "cars" in the CMS. The collection includes various data points, with the essential one being the "price" field, crucial for our filtering.

Keep in mind, that this approach can be adapted for other numeric fields beyond just prices. To establish the connection between the collection and the repeater, we utilize the Wix Data API. Through asynchronous functions like "populateCarsRepeater" and "setUpCarsRepeater," we fetch and display the data in the repeater. The magic happens by querying the "cars" collection and assigning the results to the repeater's data property.

The Min Max Price Filter function is where the real action begins. For input-based filtering, we capture user input for minimum and maximum prices. The Wix Data API ensures that our queries fetch only the relevant data. We've also added a safeguard to prevent users from setting unrealistic filter ranges. But that's not all – we take it up a notch with a price range slider.

By tapping into the slider's properties, we dynamically adjust the min and max values for a seamless filtering experience. As a bonus, we even update the input fields to reflect the chosen range visually. Remember, coding is an iterative process. Debugging and refining your code are part of the journey, so don't be discouraged if you encounter hiccups.
