I have the following field within my collection:
"intent" : [
"Find a job",
"Advertise a job"
],
What I'm trying to do is basically filter results on that field.
So if the end user passes in
[
"Find a job",
]
I would then return all documents that have the intent Find a job
this is my query so far:
var _intent = req.body.intent;
Reason.find({ intent: { $in: _intent }}, function (err, reason) {
if (err) {
res.send(err);
}
res.json(reason);
});
Now this works when I specify a value for intent
as I'm using the $in
- Logical Query Operator however when I do not specify a value for intent
it fails to return any documents, so what I'm asking is, is there a way I can say if intent
has a value then filter on it, otherwise if it doesn't then do not apply the filter?
Why not set the query object dynamically?
var query = {};
if ( req.body.hasOwnProperty('intent') )
query.intent = { "$in": req.body.intent };
Reason.find(query, function(err, reason) {
});
Or even
if ( req.body.intent.length > 0 )
Which ever case of logic suits. It's all just JavaScript after-all.
