angular-data query language

[jmdobry]

The angular-data query language has to do with the filter and findAll methods. The same query object should be able to be passed into filter and findAll and they should return the same result. filter synchronously returns data from the store. findAll asynchronously retrieves data from the server.

The query language used by angular-data needs to be:

• simple
• extendable
• adaptable

Devs should be able to write query translators that translate angular-data's query language to the query format supported by their app's REST API. Normally the query object would get serialized to the search query in the request parameters. Devs should have the option to transform the url to something their REST API before the request is sent.

Perhaps a where clause system like what's described here, albeit smaller.

Finalize in 0.6.0

Added pluggable filters for the "where" clause of a query. Angular-data's "query language" will remain small and simple.
Developers can provide their own more robust filters for more powerful queries.
