Expand filtering of unit list

[itvbbjorn]

It would be nice to be able to filter by era, PV etc when looking for units to add to the force. The list of names currently in the app was scraped from masterunitlist as a one time thing. As far as I know there's no API we can use to get a list of units with properties but maybe I've missed something.

On this topic - I needed the filters and searches to look at units, so I wrote this react thingy: http://mul.berlowscy.pl/ - the code is here; https://github.com/piotrberlowski/mul-search - that actually gets a list of units with properties directly from MUL

Do you want to steal it all and add as your search perhaps? Or would you consider figuring out an api that I could call and add units to a roster in your app with some sort of "+" button on my results list?

This looks really cool. I'll take a more in depth look at it later to see if I can implement something similar. I feel like the biggest problem right now is figuring out a UI for it on a phone screen for the app.

In terms of cards display, I'd say you're in a good place. Search-wise, it's usable.

When it comes to the more complex search like mine - I think it works OK in landscape and pretty meh in portrait.

I integrated a UI based on your code into my search app. I hope that you're OK with the attribution here
