I use SQlAlchemy and just generate a pydantic model that specifies which fields are allowed and what kind of filtering or sorting is allowed on them. Bonus is the resulting generated typescript client and use of the same pydantic model on the endpoint basically make this a validation issue instead of a query building issue.

I recently used SQLAlchemy for the first time and was delighted it has something I’ve always wanted in Laravel’s Eloquent: columns are referenced by identifiers on the models rather than plain strings.

Seeing `.where(Foo.id == Bar.foo_id)` was a little jarring coming from a language where `==` cannot be anything but a plain Boolean comparison, but it’s nice to know that if I make a typo or rename a field, it can be picked up statically before runtime.
