ngx-query-builder
A modernized Angular 4+ query builder based on jQuery QueryBuilder. Support for heavy customization with Angular components and provides a flexible way to handle custom data types.
Forked from (https://github.com/zebzhao/Angular-QueryBuilder) as the original project has stopped updating and does not support the latest Angular versions, so I will continue to maintain it and support the latest versions of Angular.
