Faceted search

I like to create a faceted search like the example (in angular) below.

Does anybody have an example/package who handles this? And it would be handy to have a more dynamic way to add filters. Not to copy the filterAfterPants logic again and again.

Or is it more a convenient way to use something like elasticsearch or algolia

Algolia is definately a nice solution.

I found it that instead of inventing a wheel it is good sometimes to use something ready and tested. Take for instance a invoicing - I always thought that I will have my own better system, but there such a huge amount of great saas these days with with API that there is simply no point spending time and money to develop your own invoicing anymore.

I would use the same principle here.
