Create a filter component

[AlexFrazer]

The docs mention how to make a filter component, so why not just include it?

Did this on my own project. Figured it could be useful for lots of people anyway.

Not sure how to update the docs.

Awesome idea! I'll be sure to check it out soon

Do you have a usage example with blaze?

[AlexFrazer]

Yeah, it would look something like this:

{{>EasySearch.Filter property="status" options=statusOptions class="select fancy-select"}}

Where:

• property is the property being set
• options is a map of the options with a value and label, eg:

[{
  value: 0,
  label: 'New'
}, {
  value: 1,
  label: 'Accepted'
}]

Would usually be used with some sort of helper. Works best with aldeed:autoform and aldeed:simple-schema

Template.fancyForm.helpers({
  'statusOptions': function () {
    return Collection.simpleSchema().schema('status').autoform.options();
  }
});

• everything else is passed to the html element.

One little catch

This only sets the property, but doesn't apply anything to the search. It expects people to customize their search engine as per the docs. Just provides the convenient HTML element and javascript.

Still think this is a cool component, I'm just very busy right now with work but will look at it asap!
