05:02 PMCan i filter by a field being in an array? For instance,
String animal = ‘cat’;
List<dynamic> animals = [dog, cat, fish,]
Filter by: animals:contains[cat]
Just pseudo code but i hope the point makes sense
String animal = ‘cat’;
List<dynamic> animals = [dog, cat, fish,]
Filter by: animals:contains[cat]
