Class PublishingFilter
Filter entities to show Drafts or only Published Entities
The PublishingFilter DataSource is part of the Standard EAV Data Sources. It will hide unpublished items for non-editors and provide these drafts if an editor is viewing the results.
How to use with the VisualQuery
When using the VisualQuery you can just drag it into your query. Here's a picture showing app data with or without publishing filter:
Configuring the PublishingFilter DataSource
The PublishingFilter has no configuration.
How does it work?
Since the published/unpublished is a very common query, internally the cache actually already provides different streams for this - and the PublishingFilter simply chooses the stream based on the current permissions.
Programming With The PublishingDataSource
We recommend to use the VisualQuery where possible, as it's easier to understand and is identical for C# and JavaScript. It's also better because it separates data-retrieval from visualization.
