Get comments endpoint doesn't filter by author

[ubaranzorlu]

Summary

I expect get comments endpoint to be able to filter author or author.id property according to Strapi Docs. However, it throws an error.

Steps to reproduce

1. Make a comment
2. Send GET request to "/api/comments/{collection}:{id}/flat?pagination[pageSize]=5&pagination[page]=1&pagination[withCount]=true&filters[author][$eq]=58&sort=createdAt:desc"

Expected results

Return comments sent by the author specified (58).

Actual results

{
  "data": null,
  "error": {
    "status": 500,
    "name": "InternalServerError",
    "message": "Internal Server Error"
  }
}

I have tried other filter queries as well with no luck.

• &filters[author][$eq]=58
• &filters[author.id][$eq]=58
• &filters[author_id][$eq]=58 <- returns a regular response with blank array, not error
• &filters[user_id][$eq]=58

Hello @ubaranzorlu,

as the plugin support both non-Strapi + Strapi users the filtering should be done like below.

non-Strapi users:

• /api/comments/api::page.page:1/flat?filters[authorId]=123456
• /api/comments/api::page.page:1/flat?filters[authorEmail]=test@example.com
• /api/comments/api::page.page:1/flat?filters[authorName]=Joe

Strapi users:

• /api/comments/api::page.page:1/flat?filters[authorUser]=1
