Filters

LDAP-like filter utilities for parsing, serialization and evaluation.

Please check resources under the src folder for detailed descriptions.

Context

This package is part of the pandino-root monorepo. For detailed information about what is Pandino / how this package fits into the ecosystem, please consult with the related documentation(s).

Intro

This library only supports a simplified version of the LDAP Query syntax, and is not intended to cover the whole spec.

Key differences:

• The evaluateFilter() API is case sensitive
• A simplified semver matcher has been baked in

API

evaluateFilter()

Evaluates the data provided against the filter and returns true if it matches.

import { evaluateFilter } from '@pandino/filters';

const filter = '(&(gn=Jenny)(sn=Jensen*))';

expect(evaluateFilter({ gn: 'Jenny', sn: 'Jensen-Smith' }, filter)).toEqual(true);

parseFilter()

Parses the given filter string and returns the data model of FilterNode or undefined.

import { parseFilter } from '@pandino/filters';

const filter = '(&(gn=Jenny)(sn=Jensen))';

expect(parseFilter(filter)).toEqual({
  operator: 'and',
  children: [
    { attribute: 'gn', operator: 'eq', value: 'Jenny' },
    { attribute: 'sn', operator: 'eq', value: 'Jensen' },
  ],
});

serializeFilter()

Serializes the provided FilterNode instance.

import { serializeFilter, FilterNode } from '@pandino/filters';

const node: FilterNode = {
    operator: 'and',
    children: [
        { attribute: 'gn', operator: 'eq', value: 'Jenny' },
        { attribute: 'sn', operator: 'eq', value: 'Jensen' },
    ],
};

expect(serializeFilter(node)).toEqual('(&(gn=Jenny)(sn=Jensen))');
