Attaching extra data to a query on the client-side

Sometimes it's necessary to attach some extra data to each query (based on some user's input on the client-side) and then use that extra data on query execution. For example, user might want to specify a date (or a period of time) as an additional filter to the any query. To add some extra data you can use beforeExecuteQuery event handler which can be defined on view initialization: Now if you check in Developer Tools (on Network tab), each .../execute request now includes ad additional data object in the request payload. Now to process this additional request data you can create your own implementation of EasyQueryManager and override its ExecuteQueryCore method. Here is an example: Here we just reconfigure our current query and add in it an additional condition group with a bunch of conditions like SomeColumns contains 'filter text' Finally, you need to register your manager class on EasyQuery middleware initialization: NB: Please note that you can read the ClientData property in any method of your custom manager.

Version 4.4.1 release notes

Version 4.4.2 release notes

1. Core library UseParameters options in EqServiceProvider class. Now you don't need to define your own QueryBulider handler. Just set eqService.UseParameters = true and all SQL statements will be generated with parameters. Add parameter processing for the special date/time values (like this month , previous year , etc). Fixed: parameters didn't work in sub-queries
