Params doesn't seem to work when passing inside WHERE query

[nabilzhafri]

Hi, when I query using attribute filter, it'll work fine. For example:

const query = [
   'MATCH (user:User {email: {email}})',
   'RETURN user'
].join('\n')

const params = {
   email: '[email protected]' // assume email exists
}

But when I passed inside WHERE statement, it doesn't seem to work:

const query = [
   'MATCH (user:User)',
   'WHERE email = {email}',
   'RETURN user'
].join('\n')

const params = {
   email: '[email protected]' // assume email exists
}

I needed this because I need to create query to find node by id.
At the moment, my workaround is to concat directly to the query, which is not recommended:

const query = [
   'MATCH (user:User)',
   'WHERE id(user) = ' + id,
   'RETURN user'
].join('\n')

Just wondering is this behavior expected? Because I read the documentation this should be supported.
