How to do filteration in AWS Amplify GraphQL Client

I'm trying to implement GraphQL filter using Amplify GraphQL Client. I got a list of todos and wanted to retrieve list of todos that has status complete.

The Documentation only show how to get all items and single item

const allTodos = await API.graphql(graphqlOperation(queries.listTodos));
console.log(allTodos);

Could someone please point me how to apply filter to the listTodos so that it return todos with status complete only.

I tried to do the following but it is wrong.

API.graphql(graphqlOperation(queries.listTodos(filter: {
    status: {
        eq: "completed"
    }
})));

I think I have an answer to your question, but I also have a similar question regarding the AWS Amplify codegen queries, mutations, etc. If you look at the code that was generated inside of ~/graphql folder, you'll find a declaration file similar to this:

export const listOrganizations = `query ListOrganizations(
  $filter: ModelOrganizationFilterInput
  $limit: Int
  $nextToken: String
) {
  listOrganizations(filter: $filter, limit: $limit, nextToken: $nextToken) {
    items {
      id
      name
      address
    }
    nextToken
  }
}
`;

You can see here that the first parameter to the ListOrganizations query (in your case, ListTodos query) takes a first argument of filter: $filter. I have figured out so far that you can modify this query by doing the following...

API.graphql(graphqlOperation(queries.listTodos, {
    filter: {
        status: {
            eq: "completed"
        }
    }
})));

This should filter out all Todos except the ones where their status is equal to completed. The problem that I am having is that I want to enable different levels of access control such that anyone with a Cognito User Pool Group of Admin may view @model as well as the @owner. And I was able to get this all working using the @auth transformer, but now my problem is that on some screens, I only want to display certain entities that are the owner of that entity and because I am also an Admin, the API defaults to getting me everything. I want to use this @filter or ModelOrganizationFilterInput to only give me the data where I am the owner. The only way I have found to do this was to add the owner field to my Schema, but then the API always provides the owner field and I want to filter that field out.

The only documentation that I can find on how the aws-amplify API and graphqlOperation methods is here: https://aws-amplify.github.io/docs/js/api but there are not many examples and they don't show much of how the API works on the client. I'm stuck.
