Custom Filters for related entity properties

[mikeyudin]

Is it possible to define list filters for properties on related one-to-many entities? As a simple example, Products and Attributes:

Product:
  name
  attributes

Attributes:
  product
  attribute_value
  attribute_type

AttributeType:
  name

I'd like to be able to filter Products by Attribute Types. Is this possible with the current functionality?

If I remember correct it's not possible.

You can define virtual fields with custom getters, but as far as I am aware of you cannot use them for filters -> see #239

I notice that there is an addCollectionFilter method in DoctrineQueryFilter that takes a property path with a period to designate the related property, however, I cannot figure out how that would be assigned in the generator.yml. Thoughts?

Im not familiar with that, maybe @cedriclombardot or @CayetanoSoriano ?

@mikeyudin This will be fixed in next PR I'll be working on (dynamic filters). Stay tuned!
