EntityFilter

The EntityFilter project aims to provide a generic search syntax for golang objects. Frontend filter parsers are provided along with backend searchers for different types of datastores.

Search Syntax

Filter Components

• Attribute to query
• Type of match to perform
• Target value

Example

name:=myname

• name is the attribute to query
• := specifies an equals comparison
• myname is the target value

Supported Operations

• Equals :=
• Not Equals :!=
• Contains :~
• Not Contains :!~

Using Multiple Filters

• Filters can be chained together with commas
• Each filter condition must be true for the entity to match
• There is currently no limit on the number of filters that can be chained, however you can expect that more conditions will result in a longer query depending on the backend datastore

Example

name:=myname,age:=12

In the above example, name must be "myname" AND age must be 12
