restful-filter

Restful filter

This library aim to convert querystring parameters into parsed json with related operators, so you would able to use the parsed values into another query action like filtering by using your model on SQL library (knex, sequelize, etc).

Features

• Filter querystring parameters
• Parse pagination by using page and count parameter
• Parse ordering by using order parameter

Installation

# via npm npm i restful-filter --save # via yarn yarn add rest

Usage

const restfulFilter = require('restful-filter') const filter = restfulFilter({ case_sensitive: false // false by default, this is just example }) # FILTER # /api/users?name__ilike=aditya&age__eq=25&password__ilike=%a% .get('/users', (req, res, next) => { const queryParams = req.query const allowedColumn = ['name', 'age'] const searchParams = filter.parse(queryParams, allowedColumn).filter # now searchParams contains # { # name: {operator: '$iLike', operatorSQL: 'ILIKE', column: 'name', value: 'aditya'}, # age: {operator: '$eq', operatorSQL: '=', column: 'age', value: '25'} # } # # password filter will not processed because not listed in the allowedColumn }) # PAGINATION # /api/users?page=2 .get('/users', (req, res, next) => { const queryParams = req.query const paginationParams = filter.parse(queryParams).paginate # paginationParams contains # { # offset: 20, # limit: 20 # } }) # ORDER # api/users?order_by=-id,name .get('/users', (req, res, next) => { const queryParams = req.query const orderParams = filter.parse(queryParams).order # orderParams contains # [ # ['id', 'DESC'] # ['name', 'ASC'] # ] # You even can limit the order column value by using second parameter as allowedColumn to process # Like const orderParams = filter.parse(queryParams, ['id']).order # Would return # [ # ['id', 'DESC'] # ] })

page_param_name	page	Page parameter name to be used on querystring
limit_param_name	count	Limit parameter name to be used on querystring
per_page	20	Default number count per request if not set
max_count_per_page	100	Maximum count for per_page parameter, so for example if count parameter value is higher than 100, the return value would stick to 100
order_param_name	order_by	Order parameter name to be used on querystring
