Getting filters used in KendoUI Grid

Question

In KendoUI, I have a grid with filters on. I am more interested in knowing all the filters used by user for saving purpose so that next time user comes in, they can be auto-fill. How do I get all the filters used?

Not sure how your code looks but you should be able to get the Grid's datasource object and call the method filter() to get the currently applied datasource filters. Take a look at the example below taken from here:

<script>
var dataSource = new kendo.data.DataSource({
  data: [
    { name: "Jane Doe" },
    { name: "John Doe" }
  ],
  filter: { field: "name", operator: "startswith", value: "Jane" }
});
var filter = dataSource.filter();
console.log(filter.logic);  // displays "and"
console.log(filter.filters[0]); // displays '{field: "name", operator: "startswith", value: "Jane"}'
</script>
