"Filter" parameter as object or array

[somenugget]

Hello)

Is it possible to create a request with like below using redux-bees?
http://localhost:3000/cities?filter[country_id]=1

I had tried
api.getCities({ filter: { country_id: countryId } })
but got only
http://localhost:3000/cities?filter=%5Bobject%20Object%5D

Same here :)

Found a workaround, though:

perform({ "filter[slug]": props.match.params.model, "filter[brand]": props.match.params.brand})

Seems like all unknown properties will be passed at querystring parameters...

When I have GET requests with complex parameters, I like to use method overrides, e.g. POST /cities?_method=GET where _method=GET is a hint to the API's router to route the request as a GET even though it's technically a POST. Then you have the full post body to work with. Useful on parameters for server-rendered data grids like...

{ 
  page: 1, 
  pageSize: 10, 
  filtered: [{ operation: 'startsWith', id: 'attributes.name', value: 'Sam' }], 
  sorted: [{ id: 'attributes.age', descending: false }, { id: 'attributes.name', descending: true }] 
}

...without blowing up your URL.
