const customFilters = [

      { label: "Admin", value: "admin" },
      { label: "User", value: "user" },

  },
  // More filters...
];

const App = () => {
  const handleFilterChange = (filters) => {
    console.log("Filters updated:", filters);
  };

  return (
    <FilterComponent
      filters={customFilters}
      onFilterChange={handleFilterChange}
    />
  );
};

export default App;

    },
    secondary: {
      main: '#dc004e',
    },
