## Field Predicates
- **Bool**:
- =, !=
- **Numeric**:
- =, !=, >, <, >=, <=,
- IN, NOT IN
- **Time**:
- =, !=, >, <, >=, <=
- IN, NOT IN
- **String**:
- =, !=, >, <, >=, <=
- IN, NOT IN
- Contains, HasPrefix, HasSuffix
- ContainsFold, EqualFold (**SQL** specific)
- **JSON**
- =, !=
- =, !=, >, <, >=, <= on nested values (JSON path).
- Contains on nested values (JSON path).
- HasKey, Len&lt;P>
- `null` checks for nested values (JSON path).
- **Optional** fields:
- IsNil, NotNil
## Edge Predicates
- **HasEdge**. For example, for edge named `owner` of type `Pet`, use:
```go
client.Pet.
Query().
Where(pet.HasOwner()).
All(ctx)
```
- **HasEdgeWith**. Add list of predicates for edge predicate.
```go
client.Pet.
Query().
Where(pet.HasOwnerWith(user.Name("a8m"))).
All(ctx)
```
## Negation (NOT)
```go
client.Pet.
Query().
Where(pet.Not(pet.NameHasPrefix("Ari"))).
All(ctx)
```
## Disjunction (OR)
```go
client.Pet.
Query().
Where(
pet.Or(
pet.HasOwner(),
pet.Not(pet.HasFriends()),
)
).
All(ctx)
```
## Conjunction (AND)
```go
client.Pet.
Query().
Where(
pet.And(
pet.HasOwner(),
pet.Not(pet.HasFriends()),
)
).
All(ctx)
```
## Custom Predicates
Custom predicates can be useful if you want to write your own dialect-specific logic or to control the executed queries.
#### Get all pets of users 1, 2 and 3
```go
pets := client.Pet.
Query().
Where(func(s *sql.Selector) {
s.Where(sql.InInts(pet.FieldOwnerID, 1, 2, 3))
}).
AllX(ctx)
```
The above code will produce the following SQL query:
```sql
SELECT DISTINCT `pets`.`id`, `pets`.`owner_id` FROM `pets` WHERE `owner_id` IN (1, 2, 3)
```
#### Count the number of users whose JSON field named `URL` contains the `Scheme` key
```go
count := client.User.
Query().
Where(func(s *sql.Selector) {
s.Where(sqljson.HasKey(user.FieldURL, sqljson.Path("Scheme")))
}).
CountX(ctx)
```
The above code will produce the following SQL query:
```sql
-- PostgreSQL
SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT "users"."id") FROM "users" WHERE "url"->'Scheme' IS NOT NULL
-- SQLite and MySQL
SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT `users`.`id`) FROM `users` WHERE JSON_EXTRACT(`url`, "$.Scheme") IS NOT NULL
```
#### Get all users with a `"Tesla"` car
Consider an ent query such as:
```go
users := client.User.Query().
Where(user.HasCarWith(car.Model("Tesla"))).
AllX(ctx)
```
This query can be rephrased in 3 different forms: `IN`, `EXISTS` and `JOIN`.
```go
// `IN` version.
users := client.User.Query().
Where(func(s *sql.Selector) {
t := sql.Table(car.Table)
s.Where(
sql.In(
s.C(user.FieldID),
sql.Select(t.C(user.FieldID)).From(t).Where(sql.EQ(t.C(car.FieldModel), "Tesla")),
),
)
}).
AllX(ctx)
// `JOIN` version.
users := client.User.Query().
Where(func(s *sql.Selector) {
t := sql.Table(car.Table)
s.Join(t).On(s.C(user.FieldID), t.C(car.FieldOwnerID))
s.Where(sql.EQ(t.C(car.FieldModel), "Tesla"))
}).
AllX(ctx)
// `EXISTS` version.
users := client.User.Query().
Where(func(s *sql.Selector) {
t := sql.Table(car.Table)
p := sql.And(
sql.EQ(t.C(car.FieldModel), "Tesla"),
sql.ColumnsEQ(s.C(user.FieldID), t.C(car.FieldOwnerID)),
)
s.Where(sql.Exists(sql.Select().From(t).Where(p)))
}).
AllX(ctx)
```
The above code will produce the following SQL query:
```sql
-- `IN` version.
SELECT DISTINCT `users`.`id`, `users`.`age`, `users`.`name` FROM `users` WHERE `users`.`id` IN (SELECT `cars`.`id` FROM `cars` WHERE `cars`.`model` = 'Tesla')
-- `JOIN` version.
SELECT DISTINCT `users`.`id`, `users`.`age`, `users`.`name` FROM `users` JOIN `cars` ON `users`.`id` = `cars`.`owner_id` WHERE `cars`.`model` = 'Tesla'
-- `EXISTS` version.
SELECT DISTINCT `users`.`id`, `users`.`age`, `users`.`name` FROM `users` WHERE EXISTS (SELECT * FROM `cars` WHERE `cars`.`model` = 'Tesla' AND `users`.`id` = `cars`.`owner_id`)
```
#### Get all pets where pet name contains a specific pattern
The generated code provides the `HasPrefix`, `HasSuffix`, `Contains`, and `ContainsFold` predicates for pattern matching.
However, in order to use the `LIKE` operator with a custom pattern, use the following example.
```go
pets := client.Pet.Query().
Where(func(s *sql.Selector){
s.Where(sql.Like(pet.Name,"_B%"))
}).
AllX(ctx)
```
The above code will produce the following SQL query:
```sql
SELECT DISTINCT `pets`.`id`, `pets`.`owner_id`, `pets`.`name`, `pets`.`age`, `pets`.`species` FROM `pets` WHERE `name` LIKE '_B%'
```
#### Custom SQL functions
In order to use built-in SQL functions such as `DATE()`, use one of the following options:
1\. Pass a dialect-aware predicate function using the `sql.P` option:
```go
users := client.User.Query().
Select(user.FieldID).
Where(sql.P(func(b *sql.Builder) {
b.WriteString("DATE(").Ident("last_login_at").WriteByte(')').WriteOp(OpGTE).Arg(value)
})).
AllX(ctx)
```
The above code will produce the following SQL query:
```sql
SELECT `id` FROM `users` WHERE DATE(`last_login_at`) >= ?
```
2\. Inline a predicate expression using the `ExprP()` option:
```go
users := client.User.Query().
Select(user.FieldID).
Where(func(s *sql.Selector) {
s.Where(sql.ExprP("DATE(last_login_at) >= ?", value))
}).
AllX(ctx)
```
The above code will produce the same SQL query:
```sql
SELECT `id` FROM `users` WHERE DATE(`last_login_at`) >= ?
```
## JSON predicates
JSON predicates are not generated by default as part of the code generation. However, ent provides an official package
named [`sqljson`](https://pkg.go.dev/entgo.io/ent/dialect/sql/sqljson) for applying predicates on JSON columns using the
[custom predicates option](#custom-predicates).
#### Compare a JSON value
```go
sqljson.ValueEQ(user.FieldData, data)
sqljson.ValueEQ(user.FieldURL, "https", sqljson.Path("Scheme"))
sqljson.ValueNEQ(user.FieldData, content, sqljson.DotPath("attributes[1].body.content"))
sqljson.ValueGTE(user.FieldData, status.StatusBadRequest, sqljson.Path("response", "status"))
```
#### Check for the presence of a JSON key
```go
sqljson.HasKey(user.FieldData, sqljson.Path("attributes", "[1]", "body"))
sqljson.HasKey(user.FieldData, sqljson.DotPath("attributes[1].body"))
```
Note that, a key with the `null` literal as a value also matches this operation.
#### Check JSON `null` literals
```go
sqljson.ValueIsNull(user.FieldData)
sqljson.ValueIsNull(user.FieldData, sqljson.Path("attributes"))
sqljson.ValueIsNull(user.FieldData, sqljson.DotPath("attributes[1].body"))
```
Note that, the `ValueIsNull` returns true if the value is JSON `null`,
but not database `NULL`.
#### Compare the length of a JSON array
```go
sqljson.LenEQ(user.FieldAttrs, 2)
sql.Or(
sqljson.LenGT(user.FieldData, 10, sqljson.Path("attributes")),
sqljson.LenLT(user.FieldData, 20, sqljson.Path("attributes")),
)
```
#### Check if a JSON value contains another value
```go
sqljson.ValueContains(user.FieldData, data)
sqljson.ValueContains(user.FieldData, attrs, sqljson.Path("attributes"))
sqljson.ValueContains(user.FieldData, code, sqljson.DotPath("attributes[0].status_code"))
```
#### Check if a JSON string value contains a given substring or has a given suffix or prefix
```go
sqljson.StringContains(user.FieldURL, "github", sqljson.Path("host"))
sqljson.StringHasSuffix(user.FieldURL, ".com", sqljson.Path("host"))
sqljson.StringHasPrefix(user.FieldData, "20", sqljson.DotPath("attributes[0].status_code"))
```
#### Check if a JSON value is equal to any of the values in a list
```go
sqljson.ValueIn(user.FieldURL, []any{"https", "ftp"}, sqljson.Path("Scheme"))
sqljson.ValueNotIn(user.FieldURL, []any{"github", "gitlab"}, sqljson.Path("Host"))
```
