Programatic where clause based off query parameters.

I'm using fastify although I doubt that matters. Attached is pseudoish code. I am looking for a way to programmatically add to the where clause based off query parameters. If there are no query parameters, just do a select * from {table} I have searched the documentation pretty well, and searched blog entries etc, couldn't find an answer: Here is my code with comments in the broken where https://gist.github.com/smykes/deeffc91002340057e107803aa9e58f8 Thank you in advance.

Hello @smykes 👋 To programmatically add conditions to the where clause based on query parameters, you can create a dynamic where object. Can you try something like this? 
app.get<{
  Querystring: IBookQueryString;
}>("/api/books", async (req, res) => {
  const { month, sort, rating, year } = req?.query;
  
  const where: Prisma.BookWhereInput = {};

  if (year) {
    where.year_read = parseInt(year, 10);
  }

  if (month) {
    where.month_read = parseInt(month, 10);
  }

  if (rating) {
    where.rating = parseInt(rating, 10);
  }

  const books = await prisma.book.findMany({
    orderBy: {
      date_read: "desc",
    },
    where,
    select: {
      author: true,
      title: true,
    },
  });
  return books;
});
app.get<{
  Querystring: IBookQueryString;
}>("/api/books", async (req, res) => {
  const { month, sort, rating, year } = req?.query;
  
  const where: Prisma.BookWhereInput = {};

  if (year) {
    where.year_read = parseInt(year, 10);
  }

  if (month) {
    where.month_read = parseInt(month, 10);
  }

  if (rating) {
    where.rating = parseInt(rating, 10);
  }

  const books = await prisma.book.findMany({
    orderBy: {
      date_read: "desc",
    },
    where,
    select: {
      author: true,
      title: true,
    },
  });
  return books;
});

That worked, you are a gentle person and a scholar. I forgot how to mark this complete Would order_by be similar?

This is the issue I am running into now Trying to get "desc" to be the default, but as you can see the if is not happy. If I change that to a string then it is happy.

What is the value of sort? Have you manually defined it to 'desc'?

sort in query paramters are supposed to be "asc" or "desc" or not there A little frustrating @Nurul (Prisma) how do I handle this? Am I using this right? It's a fairly straight forward sort, I just have been banging my head

Does something like this work? 
function getBooks(sort: 'asc' | 'desc') {
  const orderBy: Prisma.BookOrderByWithRelationInput = {};
  if (sort) {
    orderBy.date_read = sort; 
  } else {
    orderBy.date_read = 'desc'; 
  }
  // ...
}
function getBooks(sort: 'asc' | 'desc') {
  const orderBy: Prisma.BookOrderByWithRelationInput = {};
  if (sort) {
    orderBy.date_read = sort; 
  } else {
    orderBy.date_read = 'desc'; 
  }
  // ...
}
