Filtering

The following attributes are available for filtering files.

Attribute	Type	Operators	Example
file_name	string	eq / like	eq(file_name, my_image.jpg)
width	integer	gt / ge / lt / le	gt(width,200)
height	integer	gt / ge / lt / le	lt(height,500)
DEPRECATED public	boolean	eq	eq(public,true)
file_size	integer	gt / ge / lt / le	le(file_size,20953)

Supported characters

As filters are passed as URL query string parameters, we must ensure all filters are URL safe and are strict about the characters that can be used in a filter.

Characters	Can be used in filter?
A-Z (upper)	No (must be lower case).
0-9	Yes
_	Yes
" " (space)	No

Example string for filtering:

const { MoltinClient } = require('@moltin/request')
const client = new MoltinClient({
  client_id: 'X',
  client_secret: 'X'
})
//Clean up the file name
const filterName = fileName.replace(/[^A-Z0-9]/gi, "_")
          .toLowerCase()
  client
  .get(`files/?filter=eq(file_name,${filterName}`);
  .then(product => {
    // Do something...
  })
  .catch(console.error)
