BoostFilters

BoostFilters is a JavaScript package that generates Sequelize filters from a provided dictionary. It supports a wide range of filter types, including full-text search, greater than, less than, equals, and more.

Installation

Install BoostFilters via npm:

npm install boostfilters

or via yarn:

yarn add boostfilters

Usage

First, import the generateFilterConditions function from the boostfilters package:

import { generateFilterConditions } from "boostfilters";

you can use it to build Sequelize queries:

const filters = {
  "name.fulltext": "John Doe",
  "age.greaterThan": 30,
  "createdAt.range": ["2022-01-01", "2023-01-01"],
};

const sequelizeFilters = generateFilterConditions(filters);

// Use `sequelizeFilters` in your Sequelize queries

In this example, sequelizeFilters will be an object suitable for use in a Sequelize where clause.

Query Types The generateFilterConditions function supports a variety of query types:

The keys of the query object should be the name of the field you want to query on, followed by a period and the type of the query. Here's a brief overview of each type:

• fieldName.fulltext: Performs a "LIKE" search on fieldName. Matches any records where fieldName contains the provided value.

• fieldName.equals: Matches any records where fieldName is exactly equal to the provided value.

• fieldName.greaterThan: Matches any records where fieldName is greater than the provided value.

• fieldName.lessThan: Matches any records where fieldName is less than the provided value.

• fieldName.range: Matches any records where fieldName is within the provided range. The value for this query type should be an array with two elements: the start of the range and the end of the range.

• fieldName.between: Matches any records where fieldName is between the two provided values.

• fieldName.lessThanOrEqual: Matches any records where fieldName is less than or equal to the provided value.

fieldName.greaterThanOrEqual: Matches any records where fieldName is greater than or equal to the provided value.

You can also query associated tables by using the name of the associated table as a prefix to the field name, separated by a period. For example, to query the name field on an associated users table entries, you would use the key users.name.fulltext.
