BEAD

Bead is a generic query dsl library that's built on top of knex.js, that you could use in your REST API.

Reason

I got frustrated looking everywhere on the internet for a generic query dsl module, so I decided to build one myself.

Synstax

Simple Examples:

• EQ : .../someResource?q=(EQ id 1)
• GT : .../someResource?q=(GT id 1)
• LT : .../someResource?q=(LT id 1)
• IN : .../someResource?q=(IN id 1 2 3)
• BETWEEN : .../someResource?q=(BETWEEN id 1 99)

Complex examples with nested queries:

• .../someResource?q=(AND (EQ id 1) (EQ foo 2))
• .../someResource?q=(OR (EQ id 1) (EQ id 5))
• .../someResource?q=(AND (OR (EQ id 1) (EQ id 5)) (GT bar 3))
• .../someResource?q=(AND (IN id 1 2 3) (GT bar 3))

Things that are not supported ... yet:

• Querying Postgres' JSONB and JSON datatype are currently not supported.
