更改回送中的默认检索顺序

Question

I have a loopback api that retrieves some objects. These objects has a property createdAt . I want to change the order of the objects that are retrieved by the api based on this property. What is the best way to achieve this??

Answer 1

You can use the order filter in several ways, on your :

REST API :

This is for one property and you can choose ASC or DESC :

filter[order]=createdAt <ASC|DESC>

This is for more than one property :

filter[order][0]=createdAt <ASC|DESC>&filter[order][1][updatedAt]=<ASC|DESC>...

NODE API

model.find({
  order: 'createdAt DESC',
});

HERE the official documentation of the explanation above.

MODEL DEFINITION JSON

You can use the scope property in your JSON model file and I recommend it.

"scope": {
    "order": "createdAt ASC",
    "where": {
      "field": "something" // you can use the where filter also ...
    }
  },
