Filtering some facet values

While displaying my facets, I would like to filter out some of them without removing them from my index. I was thinking about something like:

search.addWidget(
  instantsearch.widgets.refinementList({
    container: '#brands',
    attributeName: 'brand',
    transformData: function(data) {
      if (data.value === 'uggly') return false;
      // [...]
      return data;
    }
  })
);

or

search.addWidget(
  instantsearch.widgets.refinementList({
    container: '#brands',
    attributeName: 'brand',
    filterFacets: function(facets) {
      return filter(facets, function (f) { return f.value !== 'uggly' });
    }
  })
);

If well documented, I don’t think it will conflict with the limit attribute.

What do you think?

@Haroenv My use-case was a bit more involved (more than just filtering, but similar requirements), so I made an issue: https://github.com/algolia/instantsearch.js/issues/2283

Hey @timkelty, this is a very old issue, could you make a new one describing your issue? You can use every template as a function, and there leave out any values you need
