I've done very similar thing in my projects too, in my solution the criteria is used like this:

let criteria = {
   'name.equals' : 'Optimus',
   'power.equals' : '10'
};

Currently, I work on an 'auto-complete' field, which will use the criteria, and has the necessary extension to the request-util.ts. Here: https://github.com/jhipster/generator-jhipster/pull/6618

And yes, I think, that parameters of that 'query' method is bit confusing, it need to be be simplified a bit.

Maybe, we can generate a client side version of the 'EntityCriteria.java', as 'entity-criteria.ts', but I'm not sure. There is a constant push against new features, and less code, which I could understand.
