Enhance and stylize your data representation by applying filters to your data tags. Filters allow you to manipulate and format data according to your preferences, ensuring your information is presented clearly and effectively. This guide will walk you through the process of adding filters to your data tags.

How to Apply Filters

Without Filter: Simply use the data tag as follows:

{{ data.tag }}

With Filter: To apply a filter, modify the data tag by appending the filter name connected by a pipe (|) symbol:

{{ data.tag | filter_name }}

Available Filters

Here is a list of currently available filters along with examples and their outputs:

1. Format Money

  • Syntax: {{ event.fee | format_money }}

  • Output: 1,500.00

2. Format Percentage

  • Purpose: Formats a numeric amount to percentage notation and removes decimals.

  • Syntax: {{ event.vat_percentage | format_percentage }}
