Research direction

Start with the current filter setup in graphene-sqlalchemy and read the proposed solution in Discussion 408. Determine how custom filters could work without being associated with fields; done means the supported design and its expected behavior are defined and implemented.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

In graphene-sqlalchemy-filters. One of the benefits was that when adding custom filters, they didn't have to be associated to fields. It seems the new filter setup covers 90% of the use cases which is great! But, having custom filters unassociated to fields would be amazing. Are there any plans to support this?
