  I have a requirement to generate the oData

  $filter

  expression that would be used as a result of applying a set of local grid filters, but I am not binding to any oData data source at the point I’d like to get the expression.

  Is there any utility call I can make that will take a set of filter expressions - or a filter control - and generate the equivalent $filter expression for storing and later use?

  Hi,

  As per your use case, you can create a custom function that can generate the desired filter string as per the filter conditions or values.
  
  Please refer to this demo sample that creates a filter string from the condition set in the FlexGridFilter: https://developer.mescius.com/wijmo/demos/Core/CollectionView/RestCollectionView/OData

  Also, to get the filter string for the current applied filters you may use the filterDefinition property of the ODataCollectionView class. Please refer to this link for more information: https://developer.mescius.com/wijmo/api/classes/wijmo_odata.odatacollectionview.html#filterdefinition

  Please refer to this sample for reference: https://stackblitz.com/edit/js-ntxgsg
