Method Overview

Method Details

parseWhereClause(clause, fieldsIndex){Promise<WhereClause>}

Parses the given where clause string and returns an instance of WhereClause when resolved. The WhereClause object can be used repeatedly against different features, to test if they individually meet the condition. The parser does not parse a whole SQL statement (ie. SELECT X… WHERE…). It only parses the expression after the where token.

Parameters:

clause String The SQL where clause expression.

fieldsIndex FieldsIndex The fields index of the layer. The fields index is used to match the fields found in the where clause against the service, to fix casing for example.

Returns:

Type	Description
Promise<WhereClause>	Parses a string where clause and returns a promise that resolves to an object with the WhereClause specification.

Example:

sql.parseWhereClause("POPULATION > 100000", layer.fieldsIndex)
.then(function(clause){
  var testResult = clause.testFeature(new Graphic({
    attributes: {
      POPULATION: 300000
   }
 });
 console.log(testResult); // prints true
});
