const fields = [
  { name: 'firstName', label: 'First Name' },
  { name: 'lastName', label: 'Last Name' },
  { name: 'age', label: 'Age' },

  console.log(query);
}

API

This library exposes a React component, <QueryBuilder />, and a utility function, formatQuery. <QueryBuilder /> is the default export, and formatQuery is exposed as a named export.

QueryBuilder

<QueryBuilder /> supports the following properties:

query (Optional)

{id?: string, combinator: string, rules: ({field: string, value: any, operator: string} | {rules: ...[], combinator: string})[]}

The initial query, in JSON form (follows the same format as the parameter passed to the onQueryChange callback). id is optional. See the demo source for examples.

fields (Required)

{name: string, label: string, id?: string}[]

The array of fields that should be used. Each field should be an object with at least:

{name: string, label: string}

The id is optional. If you do not provide an id for a field then the name will be used.

Field objects can also contain other data. Each field object will be passed to the appropriate OperatorSelector and ValueEditor components as fieldData (see the section on controlElements).

operators (Optional)

{name: string, label: string}[]

The array of operators that should be used. The default operators include:

[
  { name: 'null', label: 'is null' },
  { name: 'notNull', label: 'is not null' },
  { name: 'in', label: 'in' },
  { name: 'notIn', label: 'not in' },
  { name: '=', label: '=' },
  { name: '!=', label: '!=' },
  { name: '<', label: '<' },
  { name: '>', label: '>' },
  { name: '<=', label: '<=' },
  { name: '>=', label: '>=' },
  { name: 'contains', label: 'contains' },
  { name: 'beginsWith', label: 'begins with' },
  { name: 'endsWith', label: 'ends with' },
  { name: 'doesNotContain', label: 'does not contain' },
  { name: 'doesNotBeginWith', label: 'does not begin with' },
  { name: 'doesNotEndWith', label: 'does not end with' }
];

combinators (Optional)

{name: string, label: string}[]

The array of combinators that should be used for RuleGroups. The default set includes:

[
  { name: 'and', label: 'AND' },
  { name: 'or', label: 'OR' }
];

controlElements (Optional)

React.PropTypes.shape({
  addGroupAction: React.PropTypes.func, // returns ReactClass
  removeGroupAction: React.PropTypes.func, // returns ReactClass
  addRuleAction: React.PropTypes.func, // returns ReactClass
  removeRuleAction: React.PropTypes.func, // returns ReactClass
  combinatorSelector: React.PropTypes.func, // returns ReactClass
  fieldSelector: React.PropTypes.func, // returns ReactClass
  operatorSelector: React.PropTypes.func, // returns ReactClass
  valueEditor: React.PropTypes.func, // returns ReactClass
  notToggle: React.PropTypes.func // returns ReactClass
});

This is a custom controls object that allows you to override the control elements used. The following control overrides are supported:

{
  label: React.PropTypes.string, // "+Group"
  className: React.PropTypes.string, // CSS classNames to be applied

}

getOperators (Optional)

function(field: string): []

This is a callback function invoked to get the list of allowed operators for the given field.

getValueEditorType (Optional)

function(field: string, operator: string): string

This is a callback function invoked to get the type of ValueEditor for the given field and operator. Allowed values are "text" (the default), "select", "checkbox", and "radio".

getInputType (Optional)

function(field: string, operator: string): string

This is a callback function invoked to get the type of <input /> for the given field and operator (only applicable when getValueEditorType returns "text" or a falsy value). If no function is provided, "text" is used as the default.

getValues (Optional)

function(field: string, operator: string): []

This is a callback function invoked to get the list of allowed values for the given field and operator (only applicable when getValueEditorType returns "select" or "radio"). If no function is provided, an empty array is used as the default.

onQueryChange (Optional)

function(queryJSON: RuleGroup): void

This is a notification that is invoked anytime the query configuration changes. The query is provided as a JSON structure, as shown below:

{
  "combinator": "and",
  "not": false,
  "rules": [
    {
      "field": "firstName",
      "operator": "null",
      "value": ""
    },
    {
      "field": "lastName",
      "operator": "null",
      "value": ""
    },
    {
      "combinator": "and",
      "rules": [
        {
          "field": "age",
          "operator": ">",
          "value": "30"
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

controlClassnames (Optional)

This can be used to assign specific CSS classes to various controls that are created by the <QueryBuilder />. This is an object with the following properties:

{
    queryBuilder: string, // Root <div> element

    ruleGroup: string, // <div> containing the RuleGroup
    header: string, // <div> containing the RuleGroup header controls
    combinators: string, // <select> control for combinators
    addRule: string, // <button> to add a Rule
    addGroup: string, // <button> to add a RuleGroup
    removeGroup: string, // <button> to remove a RuleGroup
    notToggle: string, // <label> on the "not" toggle

    rule: string, // <div> containing the Rule
    fields: string, // <select> control for fields
    operators: string, // <select> control for operators
    value: string, // <input> for the field value
    removeRule: string // <button> to remove a Rule

}

translations (Optional)

This can be used to override translatable texts applied to various controls that are created by the <QueryBuilder />. This is an object with the following properties:

{
    fields: {
        title: "Fields",
    },
    operators: {
        title: "Operators",
    },
    value: {
        title: "Value",
    },
    removeRule: {
        label: "x",
        title: "Remove rule",
    },
    removeGroup: {
        label: "x",
        title: "Remove group",
    },
    addRule: {
        label: "+Rule",
        title: "Add rule",
    },
    addGroup: {
        label: "+Group",
        title: "Add group",
    },
    combinators: {
        title: "Combinators",
    },
    notToggle: {
        title: "Invert this group",
    }
}

showCombinatorsBetweenRules (Optional)

boolean

Pass true to show the combinators (and/or) between rules and rule groups instead of at the top of rule groups. This can make some queries easier to understand as it encourages a more natural style of reading.

showNotToggle (Optional)

boolean

Pass true to show the "Not" toggle switch for each rule group.

formatQuery

formatQuery formats a given query in either JSON or SQL format. Example:

import { formatQuery } from 'react-querybuilder';

const query = {
  id: 'g-b6SQ6WCcup8e37xhydwHE',
  rules: [
    {
      id: 'r-zITQOjVEWlsU1fncraSNn',
      field: 'firstName',
      value: 'Steve',
      operator: '='
    },
    {
      id: 'r-zVx7ARNak3TCZNFHkwMG2',
      field: 'lastName',
      value: 'Vai',
      operator: '='
    }
  ],
  combinator: 'and',
  not: false
};

console.log(formatQuery(query, 'sql')); // '(firstName = "Steve" and lastName = "Vai")'

An optional third argument can be passed into formatQuery if you need to control the way the value portion of the output is processed. (This is only applicable when the format is "sql".)

const query = {
  id: 'g-J5GsbcFmZ6xOJCLPPKIfE',
  rules: [
    {
      id: 'r-KneYcwIPPHDGSogtKhG4g',
      field: 'instrument',
      value: ['Guitar', 'Vocals'],
      operator: 'in'
    },
    {
      id: 'r-wz6AkZbzSyDYbPk1AxgvO',
      field: 'lastName',
      value: 'Vai',
      operator: '='
    }
  ],
  combinator: 'and',
  not: false
};

const valueProcessor = (field, operator, value) => {
  if (operator === 'in') {
    // Assuming `value` is an array, such as from a multi-select
    return `(${value.map((v) => `"${v.trim()}"`).join(',')})`;
  } else {
    return `"${value}"`;
  }
};

console.log(formatQuery(query, 'sql', valueProcessor)); // '(instrument in ("Guitar","Vocals") and lastName = "Vai")'
