```

## Using the Package

1. After successfully installing the Data Query, import the required individual functions from the package:

   ```sh
   import { process, orderBy, filterBy } from '@progress/kendo-data-query';
   ```

2. Then you can perform the desired in-memory data operations. The following code snippet demonstrates how an array objects could be filtered using `filterBy` method:

   ```js
   import { filterBy } from '@progress/kendo-data-query';

   const data = [
       { name: "Pork", category: "Food", subcategory: "Meat" },
       { name: "Pepper", category: "Food", subcategory: "Vegetables" },
       { name: "Beef", category: "Food", subcategory: "Meat" }
   ];

   const result = filterBy(data, {
       logic: 'and',
       filters: [
           { field: "name", operator: "startswith", value: "P" },
           { field: "subcategory", operator: "eq", value: "Meat" },
       ]
   });

   console.log(JSON.stringify(result, null, 2));
   /* output
   [
       { "name": "Pork", "category": "Food", "subcategory": "Meat" }
   ]
   */
