Hi everyone, I just wanted to know, does the filter function here when you add a collection apply before it upload the data to the browser (like a filter in xano) or does it act as if you were filtering with a dropdown on the frontend only basically?

I think it’s actually on the frontend, as usually you filter with the endpoint itself, but I’m not a Xano user, so I could be entirely wrong.

No I think you’re right, it’s only on xano that you need to filter

You actually could check this in a Network tab of your browser and see what data is getting pulled in 🙂

The data is fetched and then filtered, the steps in the collection setting are accurate. Supabase for example is on the backend.
