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.
