Filter custom name

[soullivaneuh]

According to the documentation, I can set a custom name for an order filter, but not a classic search filter.

It would be great to be able to do this.

Example:

/**
 * @var Os|null
 *
 * @ORM\ManyToOne(targetEntity="AppBundle\Entity\Os", inversedBy="servers")
 * @ORM\JoinColumn(referencedColumnName="id", nullable=true)
 * @Groups({"get", "post:admin", "put:admin"})
 * @ApiFilter(SearchFilter::class, strategy="exact",
 *     properties={
 *         "os.name"
 *     })
 */
private $os;

This will give me the os.name filter. It is working, but not very user friendly nor useful for the API end user.

I would like to name this filter simply os.

It is not currently possible if I am right.

Any feedback about the idea?

Am I the only one of this planet to have this need? 🙃

You're not 😊, I made a similar proposal recently: #3606. I didn't know about yours, maybe we can close mine as duplicate.
