filter-by v1.0.1

filter-by

A lightweight filter util to make client-side data filtering a breeze.

Installation

npm i --save filter-by

Usage

import { filterBy } from 'filter-by';

const data = [{ age: 21, name: "John Doe" }, { age: 40, name: "Jane Doe" }];

const filters = [{ field: "age", type: "EQ", value: 21 }];

// [{ age: 21, name: "John Doe" }]; 
filterBy(data, filters);

Types

The following filter types are available

EQ

{ field: "age", type: "EQ", value: 21 }

NEQ

{ field: "age", type: "NEQ", value: 21 }

LT

{ field: "age", type: "LT", value: 21 }

LTE

{ field: "age", type: "LTE", value: 21 }

GT

{ field: "age", type: "GT", value: 21 }

GTE

{ field: "age", type: "GTE", value: 21 }

RANGE

{ field: "age", type: "RANGE", value: [20, 30] }

LIKE

{ field: "name", type: "LIKE", value: "%value%" }

ILIKE

{ field: "name", type: "LIKE", value: "%value%" }

Multi Value Support

We can check if any of the specified values can be found inside the data array.

{ field: "name", type: "LIKE", value: ["string1", "string2", "%string3%"] }

Works with every filter type.

Multi Key Support

We can check if any of the specified values can be found across different fields in the data array.

{ field: ["firstName", "lastName'], type: "ILIKE", value: "hudson" }

Works with every filter type.

Helper Functions

There is a helper function to create a filter for every filter type. We have to wrap the filter utils inside createFilters<DataType> for TypeScript support and field type inference.

import { filterBy, createFilters, eq, neq, gte } from 'filter-by';

const filters = createFilters<Data>([
  eq("age", [23, 21]),
  neq("name", "John"),
  gte("score", 100),
]);

filterBy(data, filters)
