Improve by-column filtering UI by allowing value without operator

[Marc-Andre-Rivet]

It's currently impossible to filter by-column without adding an operator making the UI harder to use.

Support the case without operator as implicitly equivalent to "equal".

Not sure where this fits in with the greater rework we want to do with filtering #169 but since that will take significant effort and the issue here is a low hanging fruit for many scenarios, I think this makes a lot of sense.

This ties in to the data types epic too #166 as filters are currently pure strings and unaware of numeric vs. string data types.

Any update on expected timeframe for this?

Reiterating that this would be a huge improvement to usability as users understand and expect to be able to quickly filter their table of results or data. I have already commented on issue #169 and chriddyp replied that the plan is to pull the code from "Filter Rows" in Dash Table Experiments into DashTable.

Thank you for your efforts on this.

@JeroneGagliano This is part of the filtering rework happening right now in #397 and is one of the highest priority items we have outstanding in Dash. The feature is in a fairly advance state and I'd expect it to be completed within the next two weeks and to be released before the end of April.

Awesome! Thank you for the update and for everyone's efforts building out such a great platform. Although I am an independent consultant, I would like to make a small contribution to the plotly dash project. Can you tell me where I would do such a thing? Cheers, Jerone

One more question, will this improved filtering support partial string searches? Jerone Gagliano PE, CEM, CMVP 607-592-4948
