Meteor Collection.find() everything except a value

Question

I want meteor to return all Items that have not been marked as inactive. The inactive flag is just set if the item is marked inactive.

Marking an Item as inactive:

Template.displayedItems.events({
    'change [type=checkbox]': function(event) {
    var checked = $(event.target).is(':checked');
    Items.update(this._id, {$set: {inactive: checked}});
}

How do I have to query to get all items that are not inactive?

Answer 1

What about:

Items.find({inactive : false})

Should do the trick. Check the doc for more!

Answer 2

如果要获取未设置inactive字段值的文档，则可以使用$ exists

Items.find({inactive : { $exists: false }})
