ServiceStack AutoQuery Send Filter's Manually

Question

We are trying to use the JsonServiceClient to manually construct autoquery requests. The code is pretty simple for most operations but I don't see how filters are applied:

var client = new JsonServiceClient('https://my-app.azurewebsites.net');
var req = new dto.something();
req.pageSize = 10;
req.skip = 0;
req.take = 10;

What I don't see is how to send filters?

Here is the implementation of QueryBase:

export class QueryBase {
    // @DataMember(Order=1)
    skip: number;

    // @DataMember(Order=2)
    take: number;

    // @DataMember(Order=3)
    orderBy: string;

    // @DataMember(Order=4)
    orderByDesc: string;

    // @DataMember(Order=5)
    include: string;

    // @DataMember(Order=6)
    fields: string;

    // @DataMember(Order=7)
    meta: { [index: string]: string; };
}

Lastly, is there an analog to ToPostUrl/ToGetUrl for the javascript/typescript client?

Answer 1

New support for querying Services was added in 0.0.23 of the TypeScript JsonServiceClient which will let you add additional args when querying Services, e.g:

var request = new dto.MyQuery();

client.get(request, {MyField:"TheFilter"})
    .then(r => {});

It will also let call services by relative or absolute url with optional queryString arguments, e.g:

client.get<Response>("/my-request/foo")

client.get<Response>("http://example.org/my-request/foo")

client.get<Response>("/my-request", { arg: "foo"})

ServiceStack can only generate Typed properties for Explicit Conditions on your AutoQuery Request DTO.

There's no ToPostUrl/ToGetUrl equivalent in JavaScript/TypeScript but there are some URL helpers in ss-utils which can help create URLs, e.g:

var url = $.ss.createUrl("https://my-app.azurewebsites.net/myquery",   
    {pageSize:10,take:10,MyField:"TheFilter"});

$.getJSON(url, function(r) {
    console.log(r.Results);
});

Similar URL Helpers are also available in the servicestack-client npm package, e.g:

import { combinePaths, nameof, appendQueryString } from 'servicestack-client';

let baseUrl = "https://my-app.azurewebsites.net";
let requestDto = new MyQuery();
requestDto.take = 10;

let pathInfo = combinePaths(baseUrl, "json", "reply", nameof(requestDto));
let url = appendQueryString(pathInfo, requestDto);
