query-objects

Purpose

A utility library which filters objects from an array of objects based on a set of filter conditions.

  const queryable = require('query-objects');
 
  const users = [
    {
      firstName: 'George',
      lastName: 'Eracleous',
      age: 28
    },
    {
      firstName: 'Erica',
      lastName: 'Archer',
      age: 50
    },
    {
      firstName: 'Leo',
      lastName: 'Andrews',
      age: 20
    }
  ];
 
  const filters = [
    {
      field: 'age',
      value: 30,
      operator: 'lt'
    },
    {
      field: 'firstName',
      value: 'Erica',
      operator: 'equals'
    }
  ];
 
  // Filter all users that are less than 30 years old AND their first name is Erica
  const res = queryable(users).and(filters);
 
  // Filter all users that are less than 30 years old OR their first name is Erica
  const res = queryable(users).or(filters);

Installation

npm install filter-objects

Usage

1. Create a queryable object using queryable(arr) where arr is the array of objects you want to query.

const q = queryable(arr);

1. Finally get the result array using:

q.and(filters); //returns an array of all objects in `arr` that satisfy EVERY filter
 
q.or(filters); //returns an array of all objects in `arr` that satisfy SOME of the filters

Filters

field - The name of the property we will filter on

value - The value of the property we will filter on

operator - The filter operator. Supported operators equals, contains, notcontains, gt, gte, lt, lte, ne

matchMissing - If true the filter will be satisfied even if field property is not present on the object. Default is false.

matchEmpty - If true the filter will be satisfied even if value property is empty. Empty values are [], undefined, null, '' and {}. Default is false.
