this closed for 2.0 only or also for 1.? @jmdobry

[jmdobry]

It's in 2.0. Perhaps I could backport it to 1.x

[sinsunsan]

If it is not too complicate, would be nice to have it on 1.X, as it's the version we currently use.

By the way, it is easy the move to 2.X version ? Should we wait for it to stabilize ? Do you have a doc, to how to migrate ?

[jmdobry]

2.x is under the beta tag in npm. The CHANGELOG.md file in the 2.0 branch documents breaking changes.

Let's say I have

customer: {
    addresses: [
      {
        detail: "a"
      },
      {
        detail: "b"
      },
      {
        detail: "c"
      }
    ]
}

Is there any example to filter address inside of the customer?

[jmdobry]

Unless you're filtering on a property of the addresses array, such as its length, or unless you have actual references to those details objects and you're trying to filter by them, then any other type of filtering on a nested array containing objects is too advanced for js-data's default filter.
