Creating a filter aggregation dynamically?

Hello!

So I’m trying to create a query based on the amount of filter items selected. So the default filter for a specific list type looks like:

bodybuilder()
    .aggregations('terms', 'listingType.keyword', 'Type')
    .build()

Which works as expected. I have the aggregation bucket I need.

What If an item was selected? I’d want to add that filter to it.

This is what I want it to look like:

bodybuilder()
    .addFilter('term', 'itemTypeId', 2)
    .aggregations('terms', 'listingType.keyword', 'Type')
    .build()

Or if multiple items were selected then…

bodybuilder()
    .addFilter('term', 'itemTypeId', id)
    .addFilter('term', 'moo.keyword', moo)
    .addFilter('term', 'make.keyword', make)
    .aggregations('terms', 'listingType.keyword', 'Type')
    .build()

I have an array of selected filters. I figured I could do something like:

const activeFilters = [{type: 'make.keyword, value: 'SAMSUNG'}, {type: 'moo.keyword', value: 'moo'}]

if (activeFilters) {
    activeFilters.map(item => {
        addFilter(item.type, item.value)
    }
}

//OR

bodybuilder()
    activeFilters.map(item => addFilter(item.type, item.value)
    .aggregation('terms' , 'listingType.keyword', 'Type')
    .build()

Something along those lines. Any recommendations?

Thanks!

it would be

const activeFilters = [{type: 'make.keyword', value: 'SAMSUNG'}, {type: 'moo.keyword', value: 'moo'}]
const builder = bodybuilder();
activeFilters.forEach(item => builder.addFilter(item.type, item.value))
builder.aggregation('terms', 'listingType.keyword', 'Type').build()   

You should use forEach instead of map. Map is really mutation iterator vs forEach which just loops through.
