abstract class FacetapiFilter in Facet API 7

Abstract class extended by filter plugins.

Filter plugins are executed in FacetapiFacet::build() after the render array is initialized and before the array is passed to the widget plugin. This allows for runtime data alterations such as hiding active items or only displaying facets in the current level of a hierarchical data set.

Although it is most common to remove items from the render array, it is also possible to add items to the array. However, the filter plugin is executed after FacetapiFacetProcessor::process(), so the hierarchical data has already been processed and index values have already been mapped to their human readable values. If you are looking to add items to the render array that also go through these processes, adding a callback to the facet's "alter callbacks" is probably the best route to take. See hook_facetapi_facet_info() for more information on alter callbacks.
