filter issue with certain keys

[Serbitas]

Keys with a dot do not work with filtering.

require(["dstore/Memory"],
            function(Memory){
                var employees = [
                    {name:"Jim", "dep.artment":"accounting"},
                    {name:"Bill", "dep.artment":"engineering"},
                    {name:"Mike", "dep.artment":"sales"},
                    {name:"John", "dep.artment":"sales"}
                ];
                employeeStore = new Memory({data:employees, idProperty: "name"});
                employeeStore.filter({"dep.artment":"sales"}).forEach(function(employee){
                    // this is called for each employee in the sales department
                    alert(employee.name);
                });
            });

This is by design to enable shorthand query syntax for nested properties. The filter employeeStore.filter({ 'dep.artment': 'sales' }) would work with the data:

var employees = [
	{ name: "Jim", dep: { artment: "accounting" } },
	{ name: "Bill", dep: { artment: "engineering" } },
	{ name: "Mike", dep: { artment: "sales" } },
	{ name: "John", dep: { artment: "sales" } }
];

If you need to handle property names that contain a period, you'll have to provide a custom _createFilterQuerier implementation. For a full reference implementation look in dstore/SimpleQuery.

The code below, which is an incomplete implementation not suited for use, demonstrates how to handle the specific case in this issue:

_createFilterQuerier (filter) {
	return function (data) {
		return data.filter(function (item) {
			return item[filter.args[0]] === filter.args[1];
		});
	}
}
