Possible to ignore certain fields?

[smucode]

Is it possible to ignore certain fields? Eg. in this example, both records are matched as the _id matches 1:

const EasyFilter = require('@noriller/easy-filter')

const array = [
	{ _id: 1, name: "John", age: 42, tags: ["Foo", "Bar"] },
	{ _id: 2, name: "Jane", age: 69, tags: ["Bar", "Baz", "123"] }
]

const filter = EasyFilter.default(array)
const result = filter.search('1')

Also note that you'll have to use EasyFilter.default when using require. Not sure if that's expected or not.

I didn't know about the default thing with require. Since then I've learned about some better ways to build from TS to JS, when I get around to using it here it should help on things like this

In the case:

const result = filter.search('1 not(_id:1)')

Right now, the best way to ignore certain fields would be to filter then while instantiating filter.

Not sure if it's even an option to filter out the IDs as they are needed when i want to attach click handlers and such.

Sorry, you're right.
Hmm... I can think of a few ways, but I'll have to think about how to best do it.
