The Filter stage
generatesis used to generate engine-specific filters and
storesstore them in a SearchFilters object in the intermediate
. It allows for various sources to provide the filters configurationsection of the response. This stage allows you to configure filters from various sources:
- Config: Filters can be defined in the filters configuration parameter as a list of DynamicFilters or a JSON representation.
- Filters from Request Body or Intermediate: Filters can be defined in the filters key of the request body or the intermediate as a list of DynamicFilters or a JSON representation.
- Filter by IDs from Request Body or Intermediate: Filters can be defined in the filter_ids key of the request body or the intermediate as a list of IDs, which will generate a filter by IDs.
- Filters in Keys from Intermediate: Filters can be retrieved from any key defined in filter_keys. For each key in the list, the stage will look for a list of DynamicFilters or a JSON representation.
- Filter by User ID: If the add_user_filter configuration parameter is set to true, the stage will retrieve the user information from the request, search for the value in the field defined in user_value, and create a filter for the field defined in user_filter_field.

Filter Stage Request Body & Intermediate Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| filters | Filters to be applied within this stage. Should be provided as an array of DynamicFilters objects or a JSON representation of the filters. |
| filter_ids | A list of IDs used for filtering. When provided, it generates a filter based on the specified IDs. |
| filter_keys | A list of keys where filters are stored for compilation into a single filter entry. For each key, the Filter stage retrieves a list of DynamicFilters or a JSON representation of the filters. |
| Tip |
|---|
Remember that the intermediate can be fill with either other stages or the original request body that trigger the pipeline, making this essentially REST API parameters |
