exports.getAllProducts = async (req, res) => {
try {
    console.log(req.query);
    const queryObj = { ...req.query };
    const excludedFilters = ["page", "limit", "fields", "sort"];

    excludedFilters.forEach((el) => delete queryObj[el]);

    let queryStr = JSON.stringify(queryObj);
    queryStr = queryStr.replace(
        /\b(gt|gte|lt|lte|ne|eq)\b/g,
        (match) => `$${match}`
    );

    const products = await Product.find(JSON.parse(queryStr)); 
    res.status(200).json({ message: 'success', data: products });
} catch (error) {
    res.status(500).json({ message: 'error', error });
}};

When I tried to use a query to make sure everything is working as expected, the query was ?price[eq]=5 and returned nothing. When printing it to debug, it was printed like this { 'price[eq]': '5' }

Express version is 5.1.0

is there any method to format it as expected so that it will be price: { gte: 5 }

after doing some research, I believe that it should have been converted by default
