Hey Team, I want to filter the data displayed in my app thanks to a component. Indeed, I want the user to choose a category of data he wants to be displayed on the app screen, by using a certain component. And once the user chose his category of data, I want the data belonging to the chosen category to be displayed on the app screen. Could you explain me how to do so ?
