Convert Token from ValueHelpDialog into Filters in SAPUI5

Question

I am using a ValueHelpDialog with range support. So these tokens are generated based upon selection and values entered. e.g. For 'contains' a Token like *abc* is generated and for 'equal to', =abc is generated. These tokens can be fetched on clicking OK on the ValueHelpDialog as seen below.

I need to create a sap.ui.model.Filter for these selections. How can I evaluate the Tokens to retrieve FilterOperator and the value to be filtered?

Kindly assist, Thanks!

You can retrieve the filter data from the token with the data function.

const oProperties = oToken.data("range");
/*
{
  exclude: false,
  operation: "Contains",
  keyField: "PROPERTY_PATH",
  value1: "abc",
  value2: null
}
*/

const oFilter = new Filter({
  path: oProperties.keyField,
  operator: FilterOperator[oProperties.operation],
  value1: oProperties.value1
});
