I am looking for a JavaScript library which enables the development of a faceted search. That is, I have >600 data sets the user can search for, and I’d like to offer a couple of “groupings”, such as “Theme”, “Region”, “Resolution” so that the user can easily boil the list down to just a few data sets.
Not sure if this must use AJAX; but I guess it should.
I’ve found filters.js so far, and this one. But that’s about it. There is quite a bit out there for Drupal, and for Solr. But that’s not what I am working on.
If you have any recommendations for libs which would be easily adaptable in a “normal” HTML/JavaScript environment, I would very much appreciate any hints.
I finally went with this one.
It’s easily adoptable, so that I have now multiple checkboxes which allow for deeper drilling into the available data sets.
