Excel like filtering

I prefer to use datatable for my Shiny projects to show data faster. In my opinion, DT package is the best option if you need speed. On the other hand, the filtering method on datatable is so primitive and useless. I wonder, is there chance to implement excel-like filtering on datatables. It would be great, if there was a filter for each data types (For example, numeric/date column:["equal", "greater", "greater than", ...], string column: ["contain", "startswith", ...] ) I found some examples of advanced menu filter (like Excel) below: - DataTable: excel-like filters: https://github.com/primefaces/primefaces/issues/12727 - Kendo UI: http://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/grid/filter-menu-customization Is there a way to implement excel-like filtering with R Shiny and Datatable? Thanks! Images from the links I shared above:
