Current behavior
Right now turbo table has no issue filtering flat data that is passed to it.

Expected behavior
It would be great if turbo table could filter complex objects.

• Angular version: 5
  

• PrimeNG version: 5.2.4
  

I've searched for this and wasn't able to find anything so if this feature already exists or is in the works let me know.

Lets say I have a table and I'm pulling in a list of clients. Maybe one of the parameters is an address object which contains parameters like city, state, zip etc. I can easily make any of those values appear in the table (E.g client.address.city) but because they are part of the address object I am unable to filter or sort by those values.

This is currently what Material 2 offers for flattening out the data, giving users the ability to filter/sort.

      this.dataSource.filterPredicate = (client: Client, filter) => {
        let dataStr = client.step + client.name + client.interest.industry + client.interest.package + client.address.city + client.address.state + client.origin;
        return dataStr.toLowerCase().indexOf(filter) != -1; 
      }
