How to query with Loopback JS model string parameter contains in regexp array?

Question

I tried to query Loopback js Model using "inq" (mongo $in) syntax

like this:

let itemNames = [/test/i, /test2/i]; app.models.skill.find({where: {name: {inq: itemNames}}}, ....

But loopback is changing regexp to strings. loopback sends strings like { name: { $in: [ "/test/i", "/test2/i" ] } }

Can you suggest a fix or a workaround for this (but I can't patch loopback itself it is a business requirement)

You may create inq item like this:

let itemNames = [new RegExp('/test/i'), new RegExp('/test2/i')];

It worked for me.
