Resource Search and Filtering

When dealing with numerous resources, filtering and search are essential tools. Using the resourceHeader slot you can customize the resource header and fit a search input and filter button. Having full control over what you render in the resource header, you can implement live search and filering with a flyout, allowing users to quickly locate specific resources based on selected filters.

To handle cases where no search results are found, use the resourceEmpty slot to craft a custom placeholder with specific call-to-action buttons eg. clearing all search terms and resetting filters. The placeholder appears when an empty resource array is passed to the calendar.
