### Configuring Models
The SampleFilter method in your models accepts options to configure its modules. For example:

```ruby
class Entity < ApplicationRecord
  sample_filter(
    {
      title: { type: :string },
      amount: { type: :number },
      created_at: { type: :date, default_value: { from: '09.10.2016', to: '17.12.2023' } },
      kind: {
        type: :list,
        values: { red: 1, green: 2 },
        default_value: 2
      },
      status: {
        type: :list,
        values: [:active, :inactive],
        default_value: :inactive
      },
      confirmed: { type: :boolean, default_value: true },
      sort: {
        type: :sorting,
        values: [:id, :amount, :created_at],
        default_value: 'amount_desc'
      }
    }
  )
end
```

### Form helpers
```ruby
<%= form_for_filter(Entity, as: :sample_filter, block: :after, html: { method: :get, id: :sample_filter}) do %>
  <%= label_tag 'custom_input' %>
  <%= text_field_tag 'custom_input' %>
<% end %>
```

also `form_for_filter` include form action options:
```ruby
options[:url] ||= url_for(
  :controller => controller.controller_name,
  :action => controller.action_name
)
```

### Controller
In your `index` method:
```ruby
@entites = Entity.filtered(params[:sample_filter])
```

### I18n
SampleFilter uses labels with I18n:

```yaml
en:
  sample_filter:
    lists:
      all_item: all
    entity:
      fields:
        title: Title
        amount: Amount
        created_at: Created At
        kind: Type
        status: Status
        confirmed: Confirmed status
        sort: Sorting
      buttons:
        submit: Submit
        clear_form: Clear Form
      boolean:
        'true': true
        'false': false
      sort:
        id:
          asc: id ↓
          desc: id ↑
        created_at:
          asc: created_at ↓
          desc: created_at ↑
