jsearchquery v1.0.0-4

SearchQuery

SearchQuery is a library that extends LINQ search over a database using Entity Framework. It is not tied to any specific database or storage engine and is instead backed by your existing code and data. Search can be done in two interfaces: IQueryable and IEnumerable.

The main task is to make the request between Frontend - Backend more flexible and easier to search data.

Installation

.NET

To install the SearchQuery package, run the following command:

dotnet add package SearchQuery

JavaScript/TypeScript

To install the SearchQuery package, run the following command:

npm install jsearchquery

Requirements

• Minimal version: .NET 6.0

Important Notes

• Ensure to follow valid JSON format and type for request condition field type.

Types

A SearchQuery object type at some point those fields have to resolve to some concrete data.

Examples

JavaScript/TypeScript

const search = new SearchQuery({
  operator: Operator.And,
  conditions: [
    {
      field: "fullName",
      operation: Operation.Equal,
      values: ["Dennis Ritchie"],
    },
    {
      field: "created",
      // Only two values for Between, NotBetween
      operation: Operation.Between,
      values: ["1990-12-31", "2025-12-31"],
    },
    {
      operator: Operator.Or,
      conditions: [
        {
          field: "fullName",
          operation: Operation.StartsWith,
          values: ["Dennis"],
          incase: Case.Lower,
        },
        {
          field: "fullName",
          operation: Operation.EndsWith,
          values: ["Ritchie"],
          incase: Case.Upper,
        },
      ],
    },
  ],
});
