---

## โšก Quick Start

### 1. Basic Setup

```python
from fastapi import FastAPI, Depends
from fastapi-querybuilder.dependencies import QueryBuilder
from sqlalchemy.ext.asyncio import AsyncSession

app = FastAPI()

@app.get("/users")
async def get_users(
        query = QueryBuilder(User),
        session: AsyncSession = Depends(get_db)
):
        result = await session.execute(query)
        return result.scalars().all()
```

### 2. Instant API Capabilities

Your endpoint now automatically supports:

```bash

# Advanced filtering

GET /users?filters={"name": {"$eq": "John"}, "age": {"$gte": 18}}

# Dynamic sorting

GET /users?sort=name:asc

# Global search

GET /users?search=john

# Combined usage

GET /users?filters={"is_active": {"$eq": true}}&search=admin&sort=created_at:desc

```plaintext

## ๐Ÿ“š Complete Usage Guide

### Basic Setup

#### 1. Define Your Models

```python
from sqlalchemy import String, ForeignKey, DateTime, Boolean, Integer, Enum
from sqlalchemy.orm import Mapped, mapped_column, relationship, declarative_base
from datetime import datetime, timezone
from enum import Enum as PyEnum

Base = declarative_base()

class StatusEnum(str, PyEnum):
    ACTIVE = "active"
    INACTIVE = "inactive"
    SUSPENDED = "suspended"

class Role(Base):
    __tablename__ = "roles"
    
    id: Mapped[int] = mapped_column(primary_key=True, index=True)
    name: Mapped[str] = mapped_column(String(50), unique=True, nullable=False)
    description: Mapped[str] = mapped_column(String(200), nullable=True)
    
    # Relationships
    users: Mapped[list["User"]] = relationship("User", back_populates="role")

class User(Base):
    __tablename__ = "users"
    
    id: Mapped[int] = mapped_column(primary_key=True, index=True)
    name: Mapped[str] = mapped_column(String(100), index=True)
    email: Mapped[str] = mapped_column(String(255), unique=True, index=True)
    age: Mapped[int] = mapped_column(Integer, nullable=True)
    is_active: Mapped[bool] = mapped_column(Boolean, default=True, nullable=False)
    status: Mapped[StatusEnum] = mapped_column(String(20), default=StatusEnum.ACTIVE)
    created_at: Mapped[datetime] = mapped_column(DateTime, default=lambda: datetime.now(timezone.utc))
    updated_at: Mapped[datetime] = mapped_column(DateTime, nullable=True)
    deleted_at: Mapped[datetime] = mapped_column(DateTime, nullable=True)  # Soft delete
    
    # Foreign Keys
    role_id: Mapped[int] = mapped_column(ForeignKey("roles.id"))
    
    # Relationships
    role: Mapped["Role"] = relationship("Role", back_populates="users", lazy="selectin")
```

#### 2. Create Your Endpoints

```python
from fastapi import FastAPI, Depends, HTTPException
from fastapi-querybuilder.dependencies import QueryBuilder
from sqlalchemy.ext.asyncio import AsyncSession
from typing import List

app = FastAPI(title="User Management API")

# Basic endpoint with QueryBuilder
@app.get("/users", response_model=List[UserResponse])
async def get_users(
    query = QueryBuilder(User),
    session: AsyncSession = Depends(get_db)
):
    """
    Get users with advanced filtering, sorting, and searching.
    
    Query Parameters:
    - filters: JSON string for filtering (e.g., {"name": {"$eq": "John"}})
    - sort: Sort field and direction (e.g., "name:asc" or "role.name:desc")
    - search: Global search term across all searchable fields
    """
    try:
        result = await session.execute(query)
        return result.scalars().all()
    except Exception as e:
        raise HTTPException(status_code=400, detail=str(e))

# Endpoint with custom parameters
@app.get("/users/advanced")
async def get_users_advanced(
    query = QueryBuilder(User),
    session: AsyncSession = Depends(get_db),
    include_inactive: bool = False
):
    """Advanced endpoint with custom business logic"""
    if not include_inactive:
        # Add custom filter for active users only
        query = query.where(User.is_active == True)
    
    result = await session.execute(query)
    return result.scalars().all()
```

### Model Configuration

#### Soft Delete Support

If your model has a `deleted_at` field, QueryBuilder automatically excludes soft-deleted records:

```python
class User(Base):
    # ... other fields ...
    deleted_at: Mapped[datetime] = mapped_column(DateTime, nullable=True)

# QueryBuilder automatically adds: WHERE deleted_at IS NULL
```

#### Searchable Fields

QueryBuilder automatically detects and searches across:

- **String fields**: Case-insensitive ILIKE search
- **Enum fields**: Matches enum values containing the search term
- **Integer fields**: Exact match if search term is numeric
- **Boolean fields**: Matches "true"/"false" strings


```python
# This search will look in: name, email, status (enum), age (if numeric), is_active (if "true"/"false")
GET /users?search=john
```

### Filtering

#### Basic Filtering

```python
# Single condition
GET /users?filters={"name": {"$eq": "John Doe"}}

# Multiple conditions (implicit AND)
GET /users?filters={"age": {"$gte": 18}, "is_active": {"$eq": true}}

# Array values
GET /users?filters={"status": {"$in": ["active", "pending"]}}
```

#### Logical Operators

```python
# OR condition
GET /users?filters={"$or": [{"name": {"$contains": "john"}}, {"email": {"$contains": "john"}}]}

# Complex AND/OR combinations
GET /users?filters={
  "$and": [
    {"age": {"$gte": 18}},
    {
      "$or": [
        {"status": {"$eq": "active"}},
        {"status": {"$eq": "pending"}}
      ]
    }
  ]
}
```

#### Nested Relationship Filtering

```python
# Filter by relationship field
GET /users?filters={"role.name": {"$eq": "admin"}}

# Deep nesting (if you have department -> company relationship)
GET /users?filters={"role.department.company.name": {"$contains": "Tech"}}

# Multiple relationship conditions
GET /users?filters={
  "role.name": {"$eq": "admin"},
  "role.description": {"$contains": "management"}
}
```

#### Date Filtering

```python
# Date-only string (matches entire day)
GET /users?filters={"created_at": {"$eq": "2023-12-01"}}
# Equivalent to: created_at >= '2023-12-01 00:00:00' AND created_at < '2023-12-02 00:00:00'

# Exact datetime
GET /users?filters={"created_at": {"$eq": "2023-12-01T10:30:00"}}

# Date ranges
GET /users?filters={"created_at": {"$gte": "2023-01-01", "$lt": "2024-01-01"}}

# Supported date formats:
# - "2023-12-01" (YYYY-MM-DD)
# - "2023-12-01T10:30:00" (ISO format)
# - "2023-12-01 10:30:00" (Space separated)
# - "2023-12-01T10:30:00Z" (UTC)
```

### Sorting

#### Basic Sorting

```python
# Ascending order (default)
GET /users?sort=name:asc
GET /users?sort=name  # :asc is optional

# Descending order
GET /users?sort=created_at:desc

# Multiple fields (comma-separated)
GET /users?sort=role.name:asc,created_at:desc
```

#### Relationship Sorting

```python
# Sort by relationship field
GET /users?sort=role.name:asc

# Deep relationship sorting
GET /users?sort=role.department.name:desc
```

### Searching

Global search automatically searches across all compatible fields:

```python
# Simple search
GET /users?search=john

# Search with other parameters
GET /users?search=admin&filters={"is_active": {"$eq": true}}&sort=name:asc
```

**Search Behavior:**

- **String fields**: Case-insensitive partial matching
- **Enum fields**: Matches if any enum value contains the search term
- **Integer fields**: Exact match if search term is a valid number
- **Boolean fields**: Matches if search term is "true" or "false"


### Pagination

#### With fastapi-pagination

```python
from fastapi_pagination import Page, add_pagination, Params
from fastapi_pagination.ext.sqlalchemy import paginate

@app.get("/users/paginated", response_model=Page[UserResponse])
async def get_users_paginated(
    query = QueryBuilder(User),
    session: AsyncSession = Depends(get_db),
    params: Params = Depends()
):
    return await paginate(session, query, params)

# Don't forget to add pagination to your app
add_pagination(app)
```

#### Usage with Pagination

```python
# Basic pagination
GET /users/paginated?page=1&size=10

# With filtering and sorting
GET /users/paginated?page=2&size=20&filters={"is_active": {"$eq": true}}&sort=name:asc

# With search
GET /users/paginated?page=1&size=50&search=john&sort=created_at:desc
```

## ๐Ÿ”ง Operator Reference

### Comparison Operators

| Operator | Description | Example | SQL Equivalent
|-----|-----|-----|-----
| `$eq` | Equal to | `{"age": {"$eq": 25}}` | `age = 25`
| `$ne` | Not equal to | `{"status": {"$ne": "inactive"}}` | `status != 'inactive'`
| `$gt` | Greater than | `{"age": {"$gt": 18}}` | `age > 18`
| `$gte` | Greater than or equal | `{"age": {"$gte": 21}}` | `age >= 21`
| `$lt` | Less than | `{"age": {"$lt": 65}}` | `age < 65`
| `$lte` | Less than or equal | `{"age": {"$lte": 64}}` | `age <= 64`
| `$in` | In array | `{"status": {"$in": ["active", "pending"]}}` | `status IN ('active', 'pending')`
| `$isanyof` | Is any of (alias for $in) | `{"role": {"$isanyof": ["admin", "user"]}}` | `role IN ('admin', 'user')`


### String Operators

| Operator | Description | Example | SQL Equivalent
|-----|-----|-----|-----
| `$contains` | Contains substring (case-insensitive) | `{"name": {"$contains": "john"}}` | `name ILIKE '%john%'`
| `$ncontains` | Does not contain substring | `{"name": {"$ncontains": "test"}}` | `name NOT ILIKE '%test%'`
| `$startswith` | Starts with | `{"email": {"$startswith": "admin"}}` | `email ILIKE 'admin%'`
| `$endswith` | Ends with | `{"email": {"$endswith": ".com"}}` | `email ILIKE '%.com'`


### Null/Empty Operators

| Operator | Description | Example | SQL Equivalent
|-----|-----|-----|-----
| `$isempty` | Is null or empty | `{"description": {"$isempty": true}}` | `description IS NULL`
| `$isnotempty` | Is not null or empty | `{"description": {"$isnotempty": true}}` | `description IS NOT NULL`


### Logical Operators

| Operator | Description | Example
|-----|-----|-----|-----
| `$and` | Logical AND | `{"$and": [{"age": {"$gte": 18}}, {"is_active": {"$eq": true}}]}`
| `$or` | Logical OR | `{"$or": [{"name": {"$contains": "john"}}, {"email": {"$contains": "john"}}]}`


### Special Cases

#### Empty String Handling

```python
# Empty string is treated as NULL
GET /users?filters={"description": {"$eq": ""}}
# Equivalent to: description IS NULL
```

#### Date Range Processing

```python
# Date-only strings automatically expand to day ranges
GET /users?filters={"created_at": {"$eq": "2023-12-01"}}
# Becomes: created_at >= '2023-12-01 00:00:00' AND created_at < '2023-12-02 00:00:00'

# Time-specific dates are exact matches
GET /users?filters={"created_at": {"$eq": "2023-12-01T10:30:00"}}
# Becomes: created_at = '2023-12-01 10:30:00'
```

## ๐Ÿš€ Advanced Features

### Custom Query Parameters

Create custom parameter classes for specialized endpoints:

```python
from fastapi-querybuilder.params import QueryParams
from fastapi import Query
from typing import Optional

class AdminQueryParams(QueryParams):
    def __init__(
        self,
        filters: Optional[str] = Query(None, description="JSON filter string"),
        sort: Optional[str] = Query(None, description="Sort field:direction"),
        search: Optional[str] = Query(None, description="Global search term"),
        include_deleted: bool = Query(False, description="Include soft-deleted records"),
        admin_only: bool = Query(False, description="Show only admin users")
    ):
        super().__init__(filters, sort, search)
        self.include_deleted = include_deleted
        self.admin_only = admin_only

@app.get("/admin/users")
async def get_admin_users(
    params: AdminQueryParams = Depends(),
    session: AsyncSession = Depends(get_db)
):
    query = build_query(User, params)
    
    # Custom logic based on additional parameters
    if params.admin_only:
        query = query.join(Role).where(Role.name == "admin")
    
    if not params.include_deleted:
        query = query.where(User.deleted_at.is_(None))
    
    result = await session.execute(query)
    return result.scalars().all()
```

### Complex Nested Queries

```python
# Multi-level relationship filtering
GET /users?filters={
  "role.department.company.name": {"$eq": "TechCorp"},
  "role.department.budget": {"$gte": 100000},
  "role.permissions.name": {"$contains": "admin"}
}

# Combining relationship and direct field filters
GET /users?filters={
  "$and": [
    {"age": {"$gte": 25}},
    {"role.name": {"$in": ["admin", "manager"]}},
    {
      "$or": [
        {"email": {"$endswith": "@company.com"}},
        {"is_active": {"$eq": true}}
      ]
    }
  ]
}
```

### Performance Optimization

#### Eager Loading Relationships

```python
class User(Base):
    # ... other fields ...
    role: Mapped["Role"] = relationship("Role", back_populates="users", lazy="selectin")
    # lazy="selectin" prevents N+1 queries when accessing role data
```

#### Index Optimization

```python
class User(Base):
    # ... other fields ...
    email: Mapped[str] = mapped_column(String(255), unique=True, index=True)
    created_at: Mapped[datetime] = mapped_column(DateTime, index=True)  # For sorting
    is_active: Mapped[bool] = mapped_column(Boolean, index=True)  # For filtering
```

### Error Handling and Validation

```python
from fastapi import HTTPException
from fastapi-querybuilder.dependencies import QueryBuilder

@app.get("/users")
async def get_users_with_error_handling(
    query = QueryBuilder(User),
    session: AsyncSession = Depends(get_db)
):
    try:
        result = await session.execute(query)
        return result.scalars().all()
    except ValueError as e:
        # Invalid JSON in filters
        raise HTTPException(status_code=400, detail=f"Invalid filter format: {str(e)}")
    except AttributeError as e:
        # Invalid field name
        raise HTTPException(status_code=400, detail=f"Invalid field: {str(e)}")
    except Exception as e:
        # Other errors
        raise HTTPException(status_code=500, detail="Internal server error")
```

  "detail": "Invalid date format: invalid-date"
}
```

### Error Handling Best Practices

```python
from fastapi import HTTPException
from sqlalchemy.exc import SQLAlchemyError
import logging

logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)

@app.get("/users")
async def get_users_with_comprehensive_error_handling(
    query = QueryBuilder(User),
    session: AsyncSession = Depends(get_db)
):
    try:
        result = await session.execute(query)
        return result.scalars().all()
    
    except ValueError as e:
        # JSON parsing or validation errors
        logger.warning(f"Invalid query parameters: {str(e)}")
        raise HTTPException(
            status_code=400, 
            detail=f"Invalid query format: {str(e)}"
        )
    
    except AttributeError as e:
        # Invalid field or relationship errors
        logger.warning(f"Invalid field access: {str(e)}")
        raise HTTPException(
            status_code=400, 
            detail=f"Invalid field or relationship: {str(e)}"
        )
    
    except SQLAlchemyError as e:
        # Database-related errors
        logger.error(f"Database error: {str(e)}")
        raise HTTPException(
            status_code=500, 
            detail="Database error occurred"
        )
    
    except Exception as e:
        # Unexpected errors
        logger.error(f"Unexpected error: {str(e)}")
        raise HTTPException(
            status_code=500, 
            detail="An unexpected error occurred"
        )
```

## โšก Performance Tips

### 1. Database Indexing

```python
# Add indexes for frequently filtered/sorted fields
class User(Base):
    __tablename__ = "users"
    
    # Primary key (automatically indexed)
    id: Mapped[int] = mapped_column(primary_key=True)
    
    # Frequently filtered fields
    email: Mapped[str] = mapped_column(String(255), unique=True, index=True)
    is_active: Mapped[bool] = mapped_column(Boolean, index=True)
    status: Mapped[str] = mapped_column(String(20), index=True)
    
    # Frequently sorted fields
    created_at: Mapped[datetime] = mapped_column(DateTime, index=True)
    name: Mapped[str] = mapped_column(String(100), index=True)
    
    # Foreign keys (automatically indexed in most databases)
    role_id: Mapped[int] = mapped_column(ForeignKey("roles.id"))
```

### 2. Relationship Loading

```python
# Use selectin loading for relationships you'll always access
class User(Base):
    role: Mapped["Role"] = relationship("Role", lazy="selectin")  # Prevents N+1 queries

# Use joined loading for one-to-one relationships
class User(Base):
    profile: Mapped["UserProfile"] = relationship("UserProfile", lazy="joined")

# Use lazy loading (default) for relationships you rarely access
class User(Base):
    orders: Mapped[list["Order"]] = relationship("Order", lazy="select")  # Default
```

### 3. Query Optimization

```python
# Limit result sets when possible
@app.get("/users")
async def get_users(
    query = QueryBuilder(User),
    session: AsyncSession = Depends(get_db),
    limit: int = Query(100, le=1000)  # Prevent excessive results
):
    query = query.limit(limit)
    result = await session.execute(query)
    return result.scalars().all()

# Use pagination for large datasets
from fastapi_pagination import Page, Params
from fastapi_pagination.ext.sqlalchemy import paginate

@app.get("/users/paginated", response_model=Page[UserResponse])
async def get_users_paginated(
    query = QueryBuilder(User),
    session: AsyncSession = Depends(get_db),
    params: Params = Depends()
):
    return await paginate(session, query, params)
```

### 4. Caching Strategies

```python
from functools import lru_cache
import hashlib
import json

# Cache expensive queries
@lru_cache(maxsize=100)
def get_cached_query_result(query_hash: str):
    # Implement your caching logic here
    pass

@app.get("/users")
async def get_users_with_cache(
    filters: str = Query(None),
    sort: str = Query(None),
    search: str = Query(None),
    session: AsyncSession = Depends(get_db)
):
    # Create cache key from parameters
    cache_key = hashlib.md5(
        json.dumps({"filters": filters, "sort": sort, "search": search}).encode()
    ).hexdigest()
    
    # Try to get from cache first
    cached_result = get_cached_query_result(cache_key)
    if cached_result:
        return cached_result
    
    # Execute query if not cached
    query = QueryBuilder(User)(filters=filters, sort=sort, search=search)
    result = await session.execute(query)
    users = result.scalars().all()
    
    # Cache the result
    # ... caching logic ...
    
    return users
```

Instant API Capabilities\n\nYour endpoint now automatically supports:\n\n```bash\n\n# Advanced filtering\n\nGET /users?filters={\"name\": {\"$eq\": \"John\"}, \"age\": {\"$gte\": 18}}\n\n# Dynamic sorting\n\nGET /users?sort=name:asc\n\n# Global search\n\nGET /users?search=john\n\n# Combined usage\n\nGET /users?filters={\"is_active\": {\"$eq\": true}}&search=admin&sort=created_at:desc\n\n```plaintext\n\n## \ud83d\udcda Complete Usage Guide\n\n### Basic Setup\n\n#### 1. Define Your Models\n\n```python\nfrom sqlalchemy import String, ForeignKey, DateTime, Boolean, Integer, Enum\nfrom sqlalchemy.orm import Mapped, mapped_column, relationship, declarative_base\nfrom datetime import datetime, timezone\nfrom enum import Enum as PyEnum\n\nBase = declarative_base()\n\nclass StatusEnum(str, PyEnum):\n    ACTIVE = \"active\"\n    INACTIVE = \"inactive\"\n    SUSPENDED = \"suspended\"\n\nclass Role(Base):\n    __tablename__ = \"roles\"\n    \n    id: Mapped[int] = mapped_column(primary_key=True, index=True)\n    name: Mapped[str] = mapped_column(String(50), unique=True, nullable=False)\n    description: Mapped[str] = mapped_column(String(200), nullable=True)\n    \n    # Relationships\n    users: Mapped[list[\"User\"]] = relationship(\"User\", back_populates=\"role\")\n\nclass User(Base):\n    __tablename__ = \"users\"\n    \n    id: Mapped[int] = mapped_column(primary_key=True, index=True)\n    name: Mapped[str] = mapped_column(String(100), index=True)\n    email: Mapped[str] = mapped_column(String(255), unique=True, index=True)\n    age: Mapped[int] = mapped_column(Integer, nullable=True)\n    is_active: Mapped[bool] = mapped_column(Boolean, default=True, nullable=False)\n    status: Mapped[StatusEnum] = mapped_column(String(20), default=StatusEnum.ACTIVE)\n    created_at: Mapped[datetime] = mapped_column(DateTime, default=lambda: datetime.now(timezone.utc))\n    updated_at: Mapped[datetime] = mapped_column(DateTime, nullable=True)\n    deleted_at: Mapped[datetime] = mapped_column(DateTime, nullable=True)  # Soft delete\n    \n    # Foreign Keys\n    role_id: Mapped[int] = mapped_column(ForeignKey(\"roles.id\"))\n    \n    # Relationships\n    role: Mapped[\"Role\"] = relationship(\"Role\", back_populates=\"users\", lazy=\"selectin\")\n```\n\n#### 2. Create Your Endpoints\n\n```python\nfrom fastapi import FastAPI, Depends, HTTPException\nfrom fastapi-querybuilder.dependencies import QueryBuilder\nfrom sqlalchemy.ext.asyncio import AsyncSession\nfrom typing import List\n\napp = FastAPI(title=\"User Management API\")\n\n# Basic endpoint with QueryBuilder\n@app.get(\"/users\", response_model=List[UserResponse])\nasync def get_users(\n    query = QueryBuilder(User),\n    session: AsyncSession = Depends(get_db)\n):\n    \"\"\"\n    Get users with advanced filtering, sorting, and searching.\n    \n    Query Parameters:\n    - filters: JSON string for filtering (e.g., {\"name\": {\"$eq\": \"John\"}})\n    - sort: Sort field and direction (e.g., \"name:asc\" or \"role.name:desc\")\n    - search: Global search term across all searchable fields\n    \"\"\"\n    try:\n        result = await session.execute(query)\n        return result.scalars().all()\n    except Exception as e:\n        raise HTTPException(status_code=400, detail=str(e))\n\n# Endpoint with custom parameters\n@app.get(\"/users/advanced\")\nasync def get_users_advanced(\n    query = QueryBuilder(User),\n    session: AsyncSession = Depends(get_db),\n    include_inactive: bool = False\n):\n    \"\"\"Advanced endpoint with custom business logic\"\"\"\n    if not include_inactive:\n        # Add custom filter for active users only\n        query = query.where(User.is_active == True)\n    \n    result = await session.execute(query)\n    return result.scalars().all()\n```\n\n### Model Configuration\n\n#### Soft Delete Support\n\nIf your model has a `deleted_at` field, QueryBuilder automatically excludes soft-deleted records:\n\n```python\nclass User(Base):\n    # ... other fields ...\n    deleted_at: Mapped[datetime] = mapped_column(DateTime, nullable=True)\n\n# QueryBuilder automatically adds: WHERE deleted_at IS NULL\n```\n\n#### Searchable Fields\n\nQueryBuilder automatically detects and searches across:\n\n- **String fields**: Case-insensitive ILIKE search\n- **Enum fields**: Matches enum values containing the search term\n- **Integer fields**: Exact match if search term is numeric\n- **Boolean fields**: Matches \"true\"/\"false\" strings\n\n\n```python\n# This search will look in: name, email, status (enum), age (if numeric), is_active (if \"true\"/\"false\")\nGET /users?search=john\n```\n\n### Filtering\n\n#### Basic Filtering\n\n```python\n# Single condition\nGET /users?filters={\"name\": {\"$eq\": \"John Doe\"}}\n\n# Multiple conditions (implicit AND)\nGET /users?filters={\"age\": {\"$gte\": 18}, \"is_active\": {\"$eq\": true}}\n\n# Array values\nGET /users?filters={\"status\": {\"$in\": [\"active\", \"pending\"]}}\n```\n\n#### Logical Operators\n\n```python\n# OR condition\nGET /users?filters={\"$or\": [{\"name\": {\"$contains\": \"john\"}}, {\"email\": {\"$contains\": \"john\"}}]}\n\n# Complex AND/OR combinations\nGET /users?filters={\n  \"$and\": [\n    {\"age\": {\"$gte\": 18}},\n    {\n      \"$or\": [\n        {\"status\": {\"$eq\": \"active\"}},\n        {\"status\": {\"$eq\": \"pending\"}}\n      ]\n    }\n  ]\n}\n```\n\n#### Nested Relationship Filtering\n\n```python\n# Filter by relationship field\nGET /users?filters={\"role.name\": {\"$eq\": \"admin\"}}\n\n# Deep nesting (if you have department -> company relationship)\nGET /users?filters={\"role.department.company.name\": {\"$contains\": \"Tech\"}}\n\n# Multiple relationship conditions\nGET /users?filters={\n  \"role.name\": {\"$eq\": \"admin\"},\n  \"role.description\": {\"$contains\": \"management\"}\n}\n```\n\n#### Date Filtering\n\n```python\n# Date-only string (matches entire day)\nGET /users?filters={\"created_at\": {\"$eq\": \"2023-12-01\"}}\n# Equivalent to: created_at >= '2023-12-01 00:00:00' AND created_at < '2023-12-02 00:00:00'\n\n# Exact datetime\nGET /users?filters={\"created_at\": {\"$eq\": \"2023-12-01T10:30:00\"}}\n\n# Date ranges\nGET /users?filters={\"created_at\": {\"$gte\": \"2023-01-01\", \"$lt\": \"2024-01-01\"}}\n\n# Supported date formats:\n# - \"2023-12-01\" (YYYY-MM-DD)\n# - \"2023-12-01T10:30:00\" (ISO format)\n# - \"2023-12-01 10:30:00\" (Space separated)\n# - \"2023-12-01T10:30:00Z\" (UTC)\n```\n\n### Sorting\n\n#### Basic Sorting\n\n```python\n# Ascending order (default)\nGET /users?sort=name:asc\nGET /users?sort=name  # :asc is optional\n\n# Descending order\nGET /users?sort=created_at:desc\n\n# Multiple fields (comma-separated)\nGET /users?sort=role.name:asc,created_at:desc\n```\n\n#### Relationship Sorting\n\n```python\n# Sort by relationship field\nGET /users?sort=role.name:asc\n\n# Deep relationship sorting\nGET /users?sort=role.department.name:desc\n```\n\n### Searching\n\nGlobal search automatically searches across all compatible fields:\n\n```python\n# Simple search\nGET /users?search=john\n\n# Search with other parameters\nGET /users?search=admin&filters={\"is_active\": {\"$eq\": true}}&sort=name:asc\n```\n\n**Search Behavior:**\n\n- **String fields**: Case-insensitive partial matching\n- **Enum fields**: Matches if any enum value contains the search term\n- **Integer fields**: Exact match if search term is a valid number\n- **Boolean fields**: Matches if search term is \"true\" or

paginate\n\n@app.get(\"/users/paginated\", response_model=Page[UserResponse])\nasync def get_users_paginated(\n    query = QueryBuilder(User),\n    session: AsyncSession = Depends(get_db),\n

Description | Example | SQL Equivalent\n|-----|-----|-----|-----\n| `$eq` | Equal to | `{\"age\": {\"$eq\": 25}}` | `age = 25`\n| `$ne` | Not equal to | `{\"status\": {\"$ne\": \"inactive\"}}` | `status != 'inactive'`\n| `$gt` | Greater than | `{\"age\": {\"$gt\": 18}}` | `age > 18`\n| `$gte` | Greater than or equal | `{\"age\": {\"$gte\": 21}}` | `age >= 21`\n| `$lt` | Less than | `{\"age\": {\"$lt\": 65}}` | `age < 65`\n| `$lte` | Less than or equal | `{\"age\": {\"$lte\": 64}}` | `age <= 64`\n| `$in` | In array | `{\"status\": {\"$in\": [\"active\", \"pending\"]}}` | `status IN ('active', 'pending')`\n| `$isanyof` | Is any of (alias for $in) | `{\"role\": {\"$isanyof\": [\"admin\", \"user\"]}}` | `role IN ('admin', 'user')`\n\n\n### String Operators\n\n| Operator | Description | Example | SQL Equivalent\n|-----|-----|-----|-----\n| `$contains` | Contains substring (case-insensitive) | `{\"name\": {\"$contains\": \"john\"}}` | `name ILIKE '%john%'`\n| `$ncontains` | Does not contain substring | `{\"name\": {\"$ncontains\": \"test\"}}` | `name NOT ILIKE '%test%'`\n| `$startswith` | Starts with | `{\"email\": {\"$startswith\": \"admin\"}}` | `email ILIKE 'admin%'`\n| `$endswith` | Ends with | `{\"email\": {\"$endswith\": \".com\"}}` | `email ILIKE '%.com'`\n\n\n### Null/Empty Operators\n\n| Operator | Description | Example | SQL Equivalent\n|-----|-----|-----|-----\n| `$isempty` | Is null or empty | `{\"description\": {\"$isempty\": true}}` | `description IS NULL`\n| `$isnotempty` | Is not null or empty | `{\"description\": {\"$isnotempty\": true}}` | `description IS NOT NULL`\n\n\n### Logical Operators\n\n| Operator | Description | Example\n|-----|-----|-----|-----\n| `$and` | Logical AND | `{\"$and\": [{\"age\": {\"$gte\": 18}}, {\"is_active\": {\"$eq\": true}}]}`\n| `$or` | Logical OR | `{\"$or\": [{\"name\": {\"$contains\": \"john\"}}, {\"email\": {\"$contains\": \"john\"}}]}`\n\n\n### Special Cases\n\n#### Empty String Handling\n\n```python\n# Empty string is treated as NULL\nGET /users?filters={\"description\": {\"$eq\": \"\"}}\n# Equivalent to: description IS NULL\n```\n\n#### Date Range Processing\n\n```python\n# Date-only strings automatically expand to day ranges\nGET /users?filters={\"created_at\": {\"$eq\": \"2023-12-01\"}}\n# Becomes: created_at >= '2023-12-01 00:00:00' AND created_at < '2023-12-02 00:00:00'\n\n# Time-specific dates are exact matches\nGET /users?filters={\"created_at\": {\"$eq\": \"2023-12-01T10:30:00\"}}\n# Becomes: created_at = '2023-12-01 10:30:00'\n```\n\n## \ud83d\ude80 Advanced Features\n\n### Custom Query Parameters\n\nCreate custom parameter classes for specialized endpoints:\n\n```python\nfrom fastapi-querybuilder.params import QueryParams\nfrom fastapi import Query\nfrom typing import Optional\n\nclass AdminQueryParams(QueryParams):\n    def __init__(\n        self,\n        filters: Optional[str] = Query(None, description=\"JSON filter string\"),\n        sort: Optional[str] = Query(None, description=\"Sort field:direction\"),\n        search: Optional[str] = Query(None, description=\"Global search term\"),\n        include_deleted: bool = Query(False, description=\"Include soft-deleted records\"),\n        admin_only: bool = Query(False, description=\"Show only admin users\")\n    ):\n        super().__init__(filters, sort, search)\n        self.include_deleted = include_deleted\n        self.admin_only = admin_only\n\n@app.get(\"/admin/users\")\nasync def get_admin_users(\n    params: AdminQueryParams = Depends(),\n    session: AsyncSession = Depends(get_db)\n):\n    query = build_query(User, params)\n    \n    # Custom logic based on additional parameters\n    if params.admin_only:\n        query = query.join(Role).where(Role.name == \"admin\")\n    \n    if not params.include_deleted:\n        query = query.where(User.deleted_at.is_(None))\n    \n    result = await session.execute(query)\n    return result.scalars().all()\n```\n\n### Complex Nested Queries\n\n```python\n# Multi-level relationship filtering\nGET /users?filters={\n  \"role.department.company.name\": {\"$eq\": \"TechCorp\"},\n  \"role.department.budget\": {\"$gte\": 100000},\n  \"role.permissions.name\": {\"$contains\": \"admin\"}\n}\n\n# Combining relationship and direct field filters\nGET /users?filters={\n  \"$and\": [\n    {\"age\": {\"$gte\": 25}},\n    {\"role.name\": {\"$in\": [\"admin\", \"manager\"]}},\n    {\n      \"$or\": [\n        {\"email\": {\"$endswith\": \"@company.com\"}},\n        {\"is_active\": {\"$eq\": true}}\n      ]\n    }\n  ]\n}\n```\n\n### Performance Optimization\n\n#### Eager Loading Relationships\n\n```python\nclass User(Base):\n    # ... other fields ...\n    role: Mapped[\"Role\"] = relationship(\"Role\", back_populates=\"users\", lazy=\"selectin\")\n    # lazy=\"selectin\" prevents N+1 queries when accessing role data\n```\n\n#### Index Optimization\n\n```python\nclass User(Base):\n    # ... other fields ...\n    email: Mapped[str] = mapped_column(String(255), unique=True, index=True)\n    created_at: Mapped[datetime] = mapped_column(DateTime, index=True)  # For sorting\n    is_active: Mapped[bool] = mapped_column(Boolean, index=True)  # For filtering\n```\n\n### Error Handling and Validation\n\n```python\nfrom fastapi import HTTPException\nfrom fastapi-querybuilder.dependencies import QueryBuilder\n\n@app.get(\"/users\")\nasync def get_users_with_error_handling(\n    query = QueryBuilder(User),\n    session: AsyncSession = Depends(get_db)\n):\n    try:\n        result = await session.execute(query)\n        return result.scalars().all()\n    except ValueError as e:\n        # Invalid JSON in filters\n        raise HTTPException(status_code=400, detail=f\"Invalid filter format: {str(e)}\")\n    except AttributeError as e:\n        # Invalid field name\n        raise HTTPException(status_code=400, detail=f\"Invalid field: {str(e)}\")\n    except Exception as e:\n        # Other errors\n        raise HTTPException(status_code=500, detail=\"Internal server

Database Indexing\n\n```python\n# Add indexes for frequently filtered/sorted fields\nclass User(Base):\n    __tablename__ = \"users\"\n    \n    # Primary key (automatically indexed)\n    id: Mapped[int] = mapped_column(primary_key=True)\n    \n    # Frequently filtered fields\n    email: Mapped[str] = mapped_column(String(255), unique=True, index=True)\n    is_active: Mapped[bool] = mapped_column(Boolean, index=True)\n    status: Mapped[str] = mapped_column(String(20), index=True)\n    \n    # Frequently sorted fields\n    created_at: Mapped[datetime] = mapped_column(DateTime, index=True)\n    name: Mapped[str] = mapped_column(String(100), index=True)\n    \n    # Foreign keys (automatically indexed in most databases)\n    role_id: Mapped[int] = mapped_column(ForeignKey(\"roles.id\"))\n```\n\n### 2. Relationship Loading\n\n```python\n# Use selectin loading for relationships you'll always access\nclass User(Base):\n    role: Mapped[\"Role\"] = relationship(\"Role\", lazy=\"selectin\")  # Prevents N+1 queries\n\n# Use joined loading for one-to-one relationships\nclass User(Base):\n    profile: Mapped[\"UserProfile\"] = relationship(\"UserProfile\", lazy=\"joined\")\n\n# Use lazy loading (default) for relationships you rarely access\nclass User(Base):\n    orders: Mapped[list[\"Order\"]] = relationship(\"Order\", lazy=\"select\")  # Default\n```\n\n### 3. Query Optimization\n\n```python\n# Limit result sets when possible\n@app.get(\"/users\")\nasync def get_users(\n    query = QueryBuilder(User),\n    session: AsyncSession = Depends(get_db),\n    limit: int = Query(100, le=1000)  # Prevent excessive results\n):\n    query = query.limit(limit)\n    result = await session.execute(query)\n    return result.scalars().all()\n\n# Use pagination for large datasets\nfrom fastapi_pagination import Page, Params\nfrom fastapi_pagination.ext.sqlalchemy import paginate\n\n@app.get(\"/users/paginated\", response_model=Page[UserResponse])\nasync def get_users_paginated(\n    query = QueryBuilder(User),\n    session: AsyncSession = Depends(get_db),\n    params: Params = Depends()\n):\n    return await paginate(session, query, params)\n```\n\n### 4.
