The first MongoDB filter object.

• second: Record<string, any>

Returns

Record<string, any>

The merged MongoDB filter object, combining both filters.

Example

// Basic usage:
const filter1 = { status: 'active', age: { $gt: 18 } };
const filter2 = { age: { $lt: 60 }, country: 'USA' };

const mergedFilter = mergeFilters(filter1, filter2);
console.log(mergedFilter);
// Output: { status: 'active', age: { $gt: 18, $lt: 60 }, country: 'USA' }
