## getFilterSchemaFor() function

Build an OpenAPI schema describing the format of the "filter" object used to query model instances.

Note we don't take the model properties into account yet and return a generic json schema allowing any "where" condition.

export declare function getFilterSchemaFor(modelCtor: typeof Model, options?: FilterSchemaOptions): SchemaObject;

|  modelCtor | typeof [Model](./repository.model.md) | The model constructor to build the filter schema for. |
|  options | [FilterSchemaOptions](./repository-json-schema.filterschemaoptions.md) | Options to build the filter schema. |
