Searching for posts in two categories

Question

I've been modifying Telescope to search for posts with two categories.

To do this I passed an object with the categories through my PostsListController in router.js and modified parameters.js by adding the following:

if (terms.categories) {
    _.extend(parameters.find, {$and: [{'categories.slug': terms.categories[0]}, 
    {'categories.slug': terms.categories[1]}]});
}

This seems like an ugly way to do this. What is the more "meteor-y" way to do this?

Answer 1

This is more of a mongodb question I think. Their operator reference docs are here .

Besides $and mongo provides $all which is a shorter and slightly more clear.

_.extend(parameters.find, {'categories.slug': { $all: terms.categories }});
