Variable in where is not being replaced by actual value

[davidjohanssonbf]

What could be wrong here?

I'm using Angular v13.

jinqu-odata version

1.1.3

Steps to reproduce

Do a query where you have a variable instead of an actual string

const searchString = "Apple";

const result = await this.context.fruits
    .where(fruit => fruit.name.includes(searchString))
    .toArrayAsync();

Expected behavior

http://localhost:9123/fruits?$filter=contains(name%2C'Apple')

Actual behavior

http://localhost:9123/fruits?$filter=contains(name%2CsearchString)

Ah, I see now that I have to use I think something called scopes?

If I do it like this, it works:

const result = await this.context.fruits
    .where(fruit => fruit.name.includes(searchString), { searchString: searchString })
    .toArrayAsync();

Yeah, exactly.
We need to parse the function to be able to interpret it and send the request to OData server, so we only have the function as a string, not the scope when the function is called.

Thanks for the feedback.
