Description

Our existing filter middleware only allowed for query params to be excluded globally from parsing for our filter predicates (like eq:, neq:, etc). However, we have a number of route-specific filter parameters in our API that do not support this predicate pattern that don't seem appropriate to exclude globally, and we saw some of these start to trigger API errors when the value being filtered included a colon (like ?environmentId=tenant:prod)

This fix allows us to specify an optional list of filter parameters to exclude from parsing in the WithFilters() method during route registration.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The filter middleware and route builder now accept optional query-parameter names to ignore. The middleware combines these names with default filter and pagination exclusions before creating the filter parser.

Changes

Configurable filter parameters

Layer / File(s) Summary
Propagate additional ignored parameters
cmd/api/src/api/middleware/filters.go, cmd/api/src/api/router/router.go
FilterMiddleware accepts variadic ignored parameter names and combines them with the default exclusions. Route.WithFilters accepts and forwards the same parameters.
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to f07db

The change only adds route-level exclusions to query-filter parsing and does not introduce a concrete correctness, security, availability, or deployment risk; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks and review.

Group the related initializations in a var block.

ignoredParameters and parser are initialized in the same setup phase. Use one var (...) block after the nil guard. Keep the nil guard first because parser state is not needed for pass-through middleware.

As per coding guidelines, group variable initializations in a var (...) block and hoist them to the top of the function when possible.

Proposed refactor
-	ignoredParameters := slices.Concat(
-		model.IgnoreFilters(),
-		model.AllPaginationQueryParameters(),
-		additionalIgnoredParameters,
-	)
-
-	parser := params.NewQueryParameterFilterParser(ignoredParameters...)
+	var (
+		ignoredParameters = slices.Concat(
+			model.IgnoreFilters(),
+			model.AllPaginationQueryParameters(),
+			additionalIgnoredParameters,
+		)
+		parser = params.NewQueryParameterFilterParser(ignoredParameters...)
+	)
