Introduction

JsQueryExpression aims to create a javascript library to generate URIs by using QueryExpression like (names are inspired from Microsoft Dynamics CRM QueryExpression class) object model to query OData resources.

This project has been moved from CodePlex. http://jsqueryexpression.codeplex.com

What is all that about?

Typing URIs or formatting strings to access OData resource is error prone, hard to write, hard to read and even boring.

I was working on a MS Dynamic CRM project and i was really fed up typing complex URIs in client side to retrieve my objects via REST endpoint. So i thought, it might to be helpful to create a javascript object which exposes an object model to generate these URIs.

## Under the hood

There is no dependency to 3rd party solutions. Fluent coding.

Sample Code

    var filter = jsqe.filter('balance gt (100)').addCondition('type eq (1)');

    var query = jsqe.query('http://myserver', 'accounts');
    query.addOrdersAsc('name').addOrdersDesc('createDate').setFilter(filter);

    var actual = query.generateUri();
    var expected = 'http://myserver/accounts?$orderby=name asc,createDate desc&$filter=(balance gt (100)) and (type eq (1))';
    equal(actual, expected);
