Examples

// REST API with query parameters
const filters = parseWhereExpression(where, {
  handlers: {
    eq: (field, value) => ({ [field.join('.')]: value }),
    lt: (field, value) => ({ [`${field.join('.')}_lt`]: value }),
    gt: (field, value) => ({ [`${field.join('.')}_gt`]: value }),
    and: (...filters) => Object.assign({}, ...filters),
    or: (...filters) => ({ $or: filters })
  }
})
// Returns: { category: 'electronics', price_lt: 100 }

// GraphQL where clause
const where = parseWhereExpression(whereExpr, {
  handlers: {
    eq: (field, value) => ({ [field.join('_')]: { _eq: value } }),
    lt: (field, value) => ({ [field.join('_')]: { _lt: value } }),
    and: (...filters) => ({ _and: filters })
  }
})
