Filtering by boolean values in vector store metadata

At a glance

The community member who posted the original question is wondering if the LI (likely referring to Langchain) library supports filtering by boolean values in Vector Store metadata. The comments suggest that the ExactMatchFilter class may not support boolean values, and instead, the community members propose using integer or string matching as alternatives.

Hey, y'all! Does LI not support filtering by boolean values in Vector Store metadata? Looking at the MetadataFilter class, it doesn't look like it works rn.

Hmm I don't think so. But exact match would get the same effect?

Maybe it will.

No, the ExactMatchFilter was defined as this:

Plain Text

class ExactMatchFilter(BaseModel):
    key: str
    value: Union[StrictInt, StrictFloat, StrictStr]

And it's currently being set to the same def as MetadataFilter:

Plain Text

ExactMatchFilter = MetadataFilter

This is in vector_stores/types.py

Sorry, I meant, rather than matching bools, just match a zero or a one lol

or string matching

Plain Text

node = TextNode(text="text", metadata={"match": 1})

filters = MetadataFilters(filters=MetadataFilter(key="match", value=1))

right?
