customOperations{label: string, name: string, editorTemplate: function, valueTemplate: function, handleValue: function, hideValue: boolean, expressionTemplate: string, expressionReaderCallback: function, expressionBuilderCallback: function}[]

Adds more operations that can be used to the query bilder's conditions structure. Each custom operation can have the following fields:

• label - label to be displayed in the operator box. Multiple operations with the same label can exist.
• name - unique name of the operation
• editorTemplate - callback function that creates a custom value editor
• valueTemplate - callback function that displays the value after the edior has been closed
• handleValue - callback function that handles the value returned by the editor when it is closed
• hideValue - a boolean condition that specifies whether the operation requires a value or not
• expressionTemplate - a string representing a custom Linq expression template. If the value of the element is a string it will be considered as a Linq expression and it will be checked against all expressionTemplates to find a match.
• expressionReaderCallback - a callback that is used to specify which arguments from the expression are used for the fieldName and value. Used when converting a Linq expression to QueryBuilder value.
• expressionBuilderCallback - a callback function that is used to specify which arguments from the Linq expression are used for the fieldName and value when building the Linq expression from the current value of the element.

 <smart-query-builder custom-operations='[{ label: "Matches /^\d{7}$/g", name: "/^\d{7}$/g", hideValue: true }, { label: "Similar to", name: "similar" }]'></smart-query-builder>

fields{label: string, dataField: string, dataType: string, dataType: string, format: any, filterOperations: string[]}[]

Array with filter fields and their settings. The available field settings are:

• label - the field's label, as it will appear in the field selection drop down
• dataField - the field's data field
• dataType - the field's data type
• filterOperations - an array of the filter operations applicable to the field; if not set, the default filter operations are applied
• lookup - an object with settings for customizing the field's respective value selection input. It has the following settings:
  • autoCompleteDelay - delay between typing in the input and opening the drop down with available options
  • dataSource - an array of available options to choose from (appear in a drop down)
  • minLength - minimum number of charactes to type in the input before the options drop down is displayed
  • readonly - if set to true, the value selection input acts as a drop down list, otherwise it acts as a combo box
