fix(dashboard): add name property to filter_state GET endpoint

[Yogi776]

SUMMARY

Adds name property to the GET /api/v1/dashboard/{pk}/filter_state/{key} endpoint response. The name is extracted from the id field in the JSON value, making it easier for frontend code to identify filter states without parsing the JSON value.

Problem:
The frontend needs to identify filter states by their name, but the current API only returns the raw value string. This requires the frontend to parse the JSON string and extract the id field every time, which is inefficient and error-prone.

Solution:
Extend the GET endpoint to return both value and name properties, where name is automatically extracted from the id field in the JSON value. This maintains backward compatibility while providing the convenience of direct access to the filter name.

IMPLEMENTATION DETAILS

Files Changed:

1. superset/commands/dashboard/filter_state/get.py

   • Added get_with_name() method to GetFilterStateCommand
   • Extracts id field from JSON value and returns both value and name
   • Handles edge cases: invalid JSON, missing id field, or non-JSON values
   • Returns None for name when id is not present (graceful degradation)

2. superset/dashboards/filter_state/api.py

   • Updated get() method to call get_with_name() instead of get()
   • Updated OpenAPI schema documentation to include name property
   • Maintains all existing error handling and access control

3. tests/integration_tests/dashboards/filter_state/api_tests.py

   • Added test_get_dashboard_filter_state_with_name() - verifies name extraction when id exists
   • Added test_get_dashboard_filter_state_without_id() - verifies name is None when id missing
   • Updated existing test to verify name property is always present in response

Key Implementation Points:

• Uses superset.utils.json for JSON parsing (not simplejson directly)
• Handles JSONDecodeError, AttributeError, and TypeError exceptions gracefully
• Returns name: null when value doesn't contain an id field (not an error condition)
• Fully backward compatible - existing code expecting only value continues to work

BEFORE/AFTER SCREENSHOTS OR ANIMATED GIF

N/A - API change only

Before:

{
  "value": "{\"id\":\"NATIVE_FILTER_ID\",\"extraFormData\":{...}}"
}

After:

{
  "value": "{\"id\":\"NATIVE_FILTER_ID\",\"extraFormData\":{...}}",
  "name": "NATIVE_FILTER_ID"
}

TESTING INSTRUCTIONS

Manual Testing:

1. Create a dashboard with native filters:

   • Navigate to any dashboard in Superset
   • Add a native filter if one doesn't exist
   • Configure the filter (e.g., Value filter, Time Range filter)

2. Apply a filter:

   • Select a value or set a time range on the dashboard
   • This will trigger a POST request to create/update filter state

3. Test the GET endpoint:

   • Open Browser Developer Tools (F12) → Network tab
   • Find the POST request to /api/v1/dashboard/{id}/filter_state
   • Copy the key from the response
   • Call GET /api/v1/dashboard/{id}/filter_state/{key}

4. Verify response:

   • Response should include both value and name properties
   • name should match the id field from the JSON value
   • If value doesn't contain id, name should be null

Browser Console Test:

// On a dashboard page, after applying a filter:
const dashboardId = window.location.href.match(/\/dashboard\/(\d+)/)?.[1];
const key = "your_filter_state_key"; // Get from Network tab

fetch(`/api/v1/dashboard/${dashboardId}/filter_state/${key}`, {
  credentials: 'include'
})
.then(r => r.json())
.then(data => {
  console.log('Full Response:', data);
  console.log('Has value:', 'value' in data); // Should be true
  console.log('Has name:', 'name' in data); // Should be true
  console.log('Name value:', data.name); // Should match id from value
  
  // Verify name matches id
  if (data.value) {
    const valueObj = JSON.parse(data.value);
    if (valueObj.id) {
      console.log('Name matches id:', data.name === valueObj.id); // Should be true
    }
  }
});

Automated Tests:

# Run the filter_state API tests
pytest tests/integration_tests/dashboards/filter_state/api_tests.py -v

# Expected: All tests pass, including:
# - test_get_dashboard_filter_state (verifies name property exists)
# - test_get_dashboard_filter_state_with_name (verifies name extraction)
# - test_get_dashboard_filter_state_without_id (verifies name is None)

Edge Cases Tested:

• ✅ Filter state with id field → name extracted correctly
• ✅ Filter state without id field → name is null
• ✅ Invalid JSON in value → name is null (graceful handling)
• ✅ Non-JSON value → name is null (graceful handling)
• ✅ Backward compatibility → existing code still works

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

• Has associated issue: Fixes GET /api/v1/dashboard/{pk}/filter_state/{key} does not return "name" property #36053
• Required feature flags: None
• Changes UI: No
• Includes DB Migration: No
• Introduces new feature or API: No (extends existing API response)
• Removes existing feature or API: No

Backward Compatibility:

• ✅ Fully backward compatible
• ✅ Existing code expecting only value continues to work
• ✅ New name property is additive, doesn't break existing consumers

Error Handling:

• Gracefully handles invalid JSON (returns name: null)
• Gracefully handles missing id field (returns name: null)
• All existing error cases (404, 403, etc.) remain unchanged

Performance:

• Minimal overhead: single JSON parse operation
• No additional database queries
• No impact on cache operations

Type safety issue in JSON name extraction

The new get_with_name method extracts the 'id' field from parsed JSON as the 'name', but doesn't ensure it's a string, violating the Optional[str] type hint. This could cause type errors downstream in superset/dashboards/filter_state/api.py where get_with_name is called, potentially leading to runtime failures when processing filter state data. Add a type check to enforce string type safety.
