fit the conditions specified. Earlier versions of the SDK contained String-based filters which are now replaced by type-safe
filters. This guide aims to explain the different types of filters and how to use them.
### Types Of Filters
#### Filter.equal
The 'equal' filter gets the objects where the given key has the specified value.
```dart
Filter.equal('type', 'messaging'),
```
#### Filter.notEqual
The 'notEqual' filter gets the objects where the given key does not have the specified value.
```dart
Filter.notEqual('type', 'messaging'),
```
#### Filter.greater
The 'greater' filter gets the objects where the given key has a higher value than the specified value.
```dart
Filter.greater('count', 5),
```
#### Filter.greaterOrEqual
The 'greaterOrEqual' filter gets the objects where the given key has an equal or higher value than the specified value.
```dart
Filter.greaterOrEqual('count', 5),
```
#### Filter.less
The 'less' filter gets the objects where the given key has a lesser value than the specified value.
```dart
Filter.less('count', 5),
```
#### Filter.lessOrEqual
The 'lessOrEqual' filter gets the objects where the given key has a lesser or equal value than the specified value.
```dart
Filter.lessOrEqual('count', 5),
```
#### Filter.in_
The 'in_' filter allows getting objects where the key matches any in a specified array.
```dart
Filter.in_('members', [user.id])
```
:::note
Since 'in' is a keyword in Dart, the filter has an underscore added. This does not apply to the 'notIn'
keyword.
:::
#### Filter.notIn
The 'notIn' filter allows getting objects where the key matches none in a specified array.
```dart
Filter.notIn('members', [user.id])
```
#### Filter.query
Matches values by performing text search with the specified value.
```dart
Filter.query('name', 'demo')
```
#### Filter.autoComplete
Matches values with the specified prefix.
```dart
Filter.autoComplete('name', 'demo')
```
#### Filter.exists
Matches values that exist/don't exist based on the specified boolean value.
```dart
Filter.exists('name', true)
```
### Group Queries
#### FilterOperator.and
The 'and' operator combines multiple queries.
```dart
final filter = Filter.and([
Filter.equal('type', 'messaging'),
Filter.in_('members', [user.id])
])
```
#### FilterOperator.or
Combines the provided filters and matches the values matched by at least one of the filters.
```dart
final filter = Filter.or([
Filter.in_('bannedUsers', [user.id]),
Filter.in_('shadowBannedUsers', [user.id])
])
```
#### FilterOperator.nor
Combines the provided filters and matches the values not matched by all the filters.
```dart
final filter = Filter.nor([
Filter.in_('bannedUsers', [user.id]),
Filter.in_('shadowBannedUsers', [user.id])
])
```
