How to safely transform list params filter before requesting the server

I am looking at admin-on-rest source code to establish the possibilities we have to communicate with our backend.

We use spring-data and querydsl, because of that, we don't have much flexibility on how we can receive these filter params.

They should be ?username=foobar Instead of ?filter={ username: 'foobar }

I am not sure for us if our best option is to fork and work on our side, or if there is a better way to hook the request process and update the request without changing how changeListParams and query works. (See List.js#L85)

Version: 1.3.1

Solution

  • That's the job of a custom restClient.

    Check the params contains a filter property and apply any transformations you like to make it compatible with your backend.
