New filter types

[dilab]

A FilterType that is similar to SortType:

It can handle single type filter, e.g.

filter: {name: category, value:{type: single,  look_for:cat_1  }}

It can handle multiple type filter, e.g.

filter: {name: categories, value:{type: multiple, look_for:{cat_1,cat_2} } }

It can handle range type filter, e.g.

filter: {name: created_date, value:{type: range, look_for{from:date_1, to:date_2 } } }

Does that make sense?

Hi everyone !
Firstly thanks for these amazing bundles of GraphQL.
I'm a GraphQL beginner and I'm searching the best way to use filters in GraphQL, and everytime found this at the moment on the web :

query getCustomers(
    $id: Int,
    $siren: String,
    $name: String,
    $email: String,
    $offset: Int,
    $limit: Int
  ) {
    customers(filter: {
        AND: [{
          id_contains: $id
        }, {
          siren_contains: $siren
        }, {
          name_contains: $name
        }, {
          email_contains: $email
        }]
      },
      offset: $offset,
      limit: $limit
    ) {
    id
    name
    siren
    email
  }
}

but I don't know if it's a general method or a graphcool's functionnality.
Please can you provide me some advices ? Thanks
