Overview

This module implements LoopBack style filtering without any dependencies on LoopBack.

Install

$ npm install loopback-filters

Usage

Below is a basic example using the module

var applyFilter = require('loopback-filters');
var data = [{foo: 'bar'}, {bat: 'baz'}, {foo: 'bar'}];
var filter = {where: {foo: 'bar'}};

var filtered = applyFilter(data, filter);

console.log(filtered);

The output would be:

[{foo: 'bar'}, {foo: 'bar'}]

Features

          gt: 10
        }

        price: {
          lt: 100
