Building a Custom Filter or Control-Panel Component for Apache Superset

Not all Apache Superset filters work the same way. Chart controls, native dashboard filters, and cross-filtering serve different purposes—and each requires a different implementation approach.

This guide explains how to build all three, from configuring chart-specific controls in controlPanel.ts to implementing dashboard-wide native filters and interactive cross-filtering. Discover where each component belongs, how they differ, and which approach best fits your requirements.

Start with the simplest solution and build smarter Superset filtering experiences without unnecessary frontend modifications.
