Can get all data but not when using any filter

[chinbelen]

Hi, thank you for building such an amazing package, I found it very useful for simple projects but I'm currently working on something with numerous relations.

I have a model and I can get all the data when using GET /users
return QueryBuilder::for(User::class)
->allowedFilters(['name', 'id'])
->get();

But I can''t get past this as using a simple filter like GET /users?filter[name]=John only gives me an Error: $or/$and/$nor entries need to be full objects. When using AllowedFilter, I get an empty object.
return QueryBuilder::for(User::class)
->allowedFilters([AllowedFilter::exact('name')])
->get();

Not sure if I'm just using the package incorrectly but this is the basic usage so I don't know what the conflicts might be. I'm very new to laravel and any input would be very much appreciated. Thanks!
