any/all operators for filtering using DataSourceRequest - many to many

[leblanc]

I have an Alert DataSource i have a listview bound to.
Alerts many to many with Tags
I need a way to filter using the any operator.  Is this supported in: DataSourceRequest?

how would i define the json if supported or is there a workaround?
{
     "field": "Tags",
                    "operator": "eq",
                   "value": 'Marketing'
}

doesn't seem to be supported in DataSourceRequest .  So going move to use the wcf data services odata version.

namespace Kendo.Mvc.Extensions
{
    using System.Collections.Generic;
    using Kendo.Mvc.Infrastructure.Implementation;

    public static class FilterTokenExtensions
    {
        private static readonly IDictionary<string, FilterOperator> tokenToOperator = new Dictionary<string, FilterOperator>
        {
            { "eq", FilterOperator.IsEqualTo },
            { "neq", FilterOperator.IsNotEqualTo },
            { "lt", FilterOperator.IsLessThan },
            { "lte", FilterOperator.IsLessThanOrEqualTo },
            { "gt", FilterOperator.IsGreaterThan },
            { "gte", FilterOperator.IsGreaterThanOrEqualTo },
            { "startswith", FilterOperator.StartsWith },
            { "contains", FilterOperator.Contains },
            { "notsubstringof", FilterOperator.DoesNotContain },
            { "endswith", FilterOperator.EndsWith },
            { "doesnotcontain", FilterOperator.DoesNotContain }
        };

        private static readonly IDictionary<FilterOperator, string> operatorToToken = new Dictionary<FilterOperator, string>
        {
            { FilterOperator.IsEqualTo, "eq" },
            { FilterOperator.IsNotEqualTo, "neq" },
            { FilterOperator.IsLessThan, "lt" },
            { FilterOperator.IsLessThanOrEqualTo, "lte" },
            { FilterOperator.IsGreaterThan, "gt" },
            { FilterOperator.IsGreaterThanOrEqualTo, "gte" },
            { FilterOperator.StartsWith, "startswith" },
            { FilterOperator.Contains, "contains" },
            { FilterOperator.DoesNotContain,"notsubstringof" },
            { FilterOperator.EndsWith, "endswith" }
        };

By the way - this whole manual parser could be more easily expressed with: https://github.com/leblancmeneses/NPEG
