YADCF multi_select filter with server side

Working with AngularJS, I have a DataTable() working in serverSide mode, using the YADCF filters. Is it possible to use the multi_select filter (whith chosen or select2) while working on ServerSide? Can I manually introduce the parameters of search? In this case I want to use that filter on the column #6 ("estado") that means "The state" of a proccess.

The code from the myApp.controller

var table = $('#tbl').DataTable({
        stateSave: true,
        stateDuration: -1,
        //sRowSelect: "multi",
        language: sharedProperties.getLanguageDatatable(),
        dom: '<"toolbar">T<"clear">lfrtip',            
        "columnDefs": [
            { "data": "processosId", "targets": 0, "visible": false, "searchable": false },
            { "data": "utilizadoresId", "targets": 1, "visible": false, "searchable": false },
            { "data": "entidadesId", "targets": 2, "visible": false, "searchable": false },
            { "data": "numero", "targets": 3 },
            { "data": "nomeEntidade", "targets": 4, "visible":entidadeCol },
            { "data": "nomeUtilizador", "targets": 5, "visible":utilizadorCol },
            { "data": "estado", "targets": 6 },                
        ],
        serverSide: true,
        ajax: {
            "url": urlProcessos,
            "error": function (reason) {
                if (reason.status == 401) { // Not Authorized
                    self.location = '#/logout';
                }
            }
        },
});

    yadcf.init(table,
    [
        { column_number: 3, filter_type: 'text', filter_default_label: "" },
        { column_number: 4, filter_type: 'text', filter_default_label: "" },
        { column_number: 5, filter_type: 'text', filter_default_label: "" },
        { column_number: 6, filter_type: 'multi_select', filter_default_label: "", select_type:'chosen' },            
    ]);

    $scope.newProcess = function () {            
        table.columns(6).search('Novo').draw();

    }

    $scope.openProcess = function () {
        table.columns(6).search('Aberto').draw();
    }

When I filter the first time, because its server-side it only have access to the proccess with that state, so it's impossible to chose one or more states...

Solution

In case that you want to trigger yadcf filter you better use yadcf api

I suggest you to replace

table.columns(6).search('Novo').draw();

and

table.columns(6).search('Aberto').draw();

with something like this

yadcf.exFilterColumn(oTable, [[0, ['Novo']]], true);

and

yadcf.exFilterColumn(oTable, [[0, ['Aberto']]], true);

In case that you want to filter multiple values, you can add more to the array, like this

yadcf.exFilterColumn(oTable, [[0, ['Novo', 'Aberto']]], true);
