end

#with_model_fields(criterion, coerce = true) ⇒ Object

Filter out any fields that do not match model’s fields.

A testing story to tell: when working on ‘in` query, we have value that is an array. Without the test and expectation setup, debugging the output will take far longer to realise. This reinforce the belief that TDD is in fact a valuable thing to do.
