queryDsl/springDateRest dynamic filter on manyToMany [DATAREST-773]

Florian GOURMELEN opened DATAREST-773 and commented

Hi,
I'm doing a test project of Spring data rest with querydsl (latest release versions of both as of now)
I have a set of 3 classes

• Person
• Record
• Document

Record has a ManyToOne relation with person
Document has a manyToMany relation with record

These uri are working as expected

• http://localhost:8080/records?label=Record1
• http://localhost:8080/records?label=Record1&id=1
• http://localhost:8080/records?person.firstName=Alex
• http://localhost:8080/records?person.firstName=Alex&label=Record1

Now I would like to be able to perform a search on the manyToMany relation to find for example all the documents for which there is one record with label "Record1"
something like this to match the querydsl syntax

• http://localhost:8080/documents?records.any.label=Record1

the aim would be to not only filter on the manytomany relation but also couple this filter with the filters on the other fields ex

• http://localhost:8080/documents?records.any.label=Record1&label=Document1

because with a custom method added to the repository and a RepositoryRestController I'm able to perform the filter any but then I loose the advantage of querydsl if I want to filter also on other fields

• http://localhost:8080/documents/search/recordLabelIn?label=Record1

Is it a bug? or is there any plan to embed this feature? or is it already there and I'm missing something?

I've attached a sample project I'm using for my tests

thanks in advance
