• enableAccordion - indicates whether or not the filter lists are collapsible. Default true.
• showCollapsed- option to collapse all filters on load. Default is false.
• showItemCount - option to show the matched item count next to each filter option. Default is true.
• itemCountFormat - the string format for the item count when displayed where the replacement string of {0} is the number. Default is '({0})'
• activeFiltersLabelText  - the text displayed as the label to the active filter area when filters are selected. Default is 'Active Filters:'
