how do i query against nested properties?

[neonstalwart]

my first thought was to try a dot-separated path

q = new Query().eq('user.id', id);

but the only way i've found to work is to use an array of path segments

q = new Query().eq(['user', 'id'], id);

should the dot-separated path work or is the array the right way?

What about slash separated? That should be converted to an array.

[neonstalwart]

oh right... i had forgotten slashes was actually what i had expected should work based on reading the parser code and tests. nothing but an array of the segments works - i tried ., ,, /.

It says return "(" + slashed.replace(/\//g, ",") + ")"; so I think (user,id) should be parsed out as well. But it isn't clear that a query string is treated differently then a constructed object.

[neonstalwart]

parsing isn't used when constructing via Query

[wshager]

IMO this is an inconsistency that needs to be addressed. I think property names should be treated the same when constructing an object. So q.eq('this/is/a/path','value') should be parsed out. I don't see a reason not to.

At least it should be documented........
