Declarative filters

Filter types¶

Filters always use this structure:

field = "fieldName",
valueType = ValueType.TYPE,
value = "expected value"

field, valueType, and value must be declared together. If one is missing, Tentacolous fails during listener scanning and prints an example of the valid form.
