Access filters in Custom Visual

Hi,

 

I have a custom visual in which I need to access the page filters that are being applied. How can I get the filters from my Custom Visual code?

 

I am trying to create a custom visual somewhat similar to MAQ software's JSONGrid Viz. I also need to add an additional functionality of have a filter element to control the number of columns in the Viz. That is there will be a multiselect to select the columns for the table.

 

I'm fairly new to Power BI.

      I have been looking into the source code.

       

      My doubt is how can I have a multi-select like thing in my application and let the user select a list. Then the visualization that is created should have only the columns in the list selected by the user.

        Power BI Custom Visuals API doesn't support the ability to get filters that are applied on the page.

         

        Could you please explain the second feature a bit deeper?
