sequelize-querystring-utf8

Node Sequelize query string

The aim of this module it to convert the request query string into sequelize compatible where and sort clauses.

The reason for the existence of this module is resumed in one single word: minimalist.

Features so far:

• Convert filter attribute into where clauses
• Multiple filter values (comma separated)
• Nested properties
• Supports almost every operator Tested operators: values: gt, gte, lt, lte, eq, ne, not, in, notIn, like, notLike, iLike, notILike arrays: overlap, contains, contained, between, notBetween
• Convert sort attribute into order clause
• Multiple sort values (comma separated)

Usage

Example in a hapijs compatible request handler:

  const sqs = require('sequelize-querystring')
  const ArticlesModel = require('./models/articles')
 
  // list articles
  exports.list = (req, res) => {
    return ArticlesModel.findAndCountAll({
      offset: req.query.offset || 0,
      limit: req.query.limit || 10,
      where: req.query.filter ? sqs.find(req.query.filter) : {},
      order: req.query.sort ? sqs.sort(req.query.sort) : []
    })
    .then((results) => {
      results.rows = results.rows.map((o) => { return o.get() })
      res(results)
    })
    .catch((err) => {
      log.error(err)
      res(err).code(500)
    })
  }

The compatible query string to filter and sort is like:

  http://localhost:3000/v1/articles?filter=author eq joaquim&sort=createdAt desc

The handler has pagination and by default it replies the first 10 items. To get the next page you could simply request:

  http://localhost:3000/v1/articles?filter=author eq joaquim&limit=10&offset=10

The filter is also compatible with multiple values operator 'or', 'in', 'notIn', 'overlap', 'contains', 'contained', 'between', 'notBetween' (Every values are separated with a space):

  http://localhost:3000/v1/articles?filter=date between 1995 2020
