Hi, I have:

```auto
[
    {
        id: // the field to be search
            {
                eq: '1234' // eq is the operand; 1234 is the keyword
            }
    },
    {
        description:
            {
                like: 'desc'
            }
    }
]

```

How to transform it to query parameters to:

```auto
?filter[id][eq]=1234&filter[description][like]=desc

```

since the API needed the format like so for the filters?

You could try overriding `urlForQuery` in your adapter (docs [here](https://api.emberjs.com/ember-data/3.15/classes/JSONAPIAdapter/methods/urlForQuery?anchor=urlForQuery)). Of course that is assuming you are using Ember Data, if not you should be able to build the URL manually.
