Angular2 Like request MongoDB - mongodb

I want to do a pretty simple thing, a function that does a query to mongoDB using a Like. But I don't seem to make it works.
At the moment it looks like this :
searchChannel(valueToSearch:string){
this.items = Channels.find({'title':'/' + valueToSearch + '/'});
}
I tried /valueToSearch/ too, but it doesn't return any result.

To construct a regular expression from string you can use RegExp
searchChannel(valueToSearch:string){
this.items = Channels.find({'title': new RegExp(valueToSearch)});
}

Ok so... the issue is likely because you're inserting / characters into your mongo query. I think you want something like this:
searchChannel(valueToSearch:string){
this.items = Channels.find({'title': valueToSearch });
}
Unless the / characters are part of your stored content, they shouldn't be added to your search string.

How to insert an option value into a select tag with CasperJS?

Well, the question is very self-explanatory.
Right now, I'm front of a form which has a select tag with a couple of options already. But I must insert a new one, with a different value that I will receive from a .json file.
The thing is: I haven't been able to find a suitable solution from the CasperJS documentation.
I've tried something like this:
this.fill('form.coworkerdiscountcode', {
'CoworkerDiscountCode.DiscountCode': ['Value1']
});
But no results. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
You can execute any javascript code by passing it to casper.evaluate like this:
casper.evaluate(function() {
var x = document.getElementById("coworkerdiscountcode");
var option = document.createElement("option");
option.text = "Kiwi";
x.add(option);
});

xPages REST Service Results into Combobox or Typeahead Text Field

I've read all the documentation I can find and watched all the videos I can find and don't understand how to do this. I have set up an xPages REST Service and it works well. Now I want to place the results of the service into either a combobox or typeahead text field. Ideally I would like to know how to do it for both types of fields.
I have an application which has a view containing a list of countries, another view containing a list of states, and another containing a list of cities. I would like the first field to only display the countries field from the list of data it returns in the XPages REST Service. Then, depending upon which country was selected, I would like the states for that country to be listed in another field for selection, etc.
I can see code for calling the REST Service results from a button, or from a dojo grid, but I cannot find how to call it to populate either of the types of fields identified above.
Where would I call the Service for the field? I had thought it would go in the Data area, but perhaps I've just not found the right syntax to use.
November 6, 2017:
I have been following your suggestion, but am still lost as can be. Here's what I currently have in my code:
x$( "#{id:ApplCountry}" ).select2({
placeholder: "select a country",
minimumInputLength: 2,
allowClear : true,
multiple: false,
ajax: {
dataType: 'text/plain',
url: "./Application.xsp/gridData",
quietMillis: 250,
data: function (params) {
return {
search:'[name=]*'+params.term+'*',
page: params.page
};
},
processResults: function (data, page) {
var data = $.map(data, function (obj) {
obj.id = obj.id || obj["#entityid"];
obj.text = obj.text || obj.name;
return obj;
});
},
return {results: data};
}
}
});
I'm using the dataType of 'text/plain' because that was what I understood I should use when gathering data from a domino application. I have tried changing this to json but it makes no difference.
I'm using processResults because I understand this is what should be used in version 4 of select2.
I don't understand the whole use of the hidden field, so I've stayed away from that.
No matter what I do, although my REST service works if I put it directly in the url, I cannot get any data to display in the field. All I want to display in the field is the country code of the document, which is in the field named "name" (not my choice, it's how it came before I imported the data from MySQL.
I have read documentation and watched videos, but still don't really understand how everything fits together. That was my problem with the REST service. If you use it in Dojo, you just put the name of the service in a field on the Dojo element and it's done, so I don't understand why all the additional coding for another type of domino element. Shouldn't it work the same way?
I should point out that at some points it does display the default message, so it does find the field. Just doesn't display the country selections.
I think the issue may be that you are not returning SelectItems to your select2, and that is what it is expecting. When I do something like you are trying, I actually use a bean to generate the selection choices. You may want to try that or I'm putting in the working part of my bean below.
The Utils.getItemValueAsString is a method I use to return either the string value of a field, or if it is not on the document/empty/null an empty string. I took out an if that doesn't relate to this, so there my be a mismatch, but I hope not.
You might be able to jump directly to populating the arrayList, but as I recall I needed to leverage the LinkedHashMap for something.
You should be able to do the same using SSJS, but since that renders to Java before executing, I find this more efficient.
For label/value pairs:
LinkedHashMap lhmap = new LinkedHashMap();
Document doc = null;
Document tmpDoc = null;
allObjects.addElement(doc);
if (dc.getCount() > 0) {
doc = dc.getFirstDocument();
while (doc != null) {
lhmap.put(Utils.getItemValueAsString(doc, LabelField, true), Utils.getItemValueAsString(doc, ValueField, true));
}
tmpDoc = dc.getNextDocument(doc);
doc.recycle();
doc = tmpDoc;
}
}
List<SelectItem> options = new ArrayList<SelectItem>();
Set set = lhmap.entrySet();
Iterator hsItr = set.iterator();
while (hsItr.hasNext()) {
Map.Entry me = (Map.Entry) hsItr.next();
// System.out.println("after: " + hStr);
SelectItem option = new SelectItem();
option.setLabel(me.getKey() + "");
option.setValue(me.getValue() + "");
options.add(option);
}
System.out.println("About to return from generating");
return options;
}
I ended up using straight up SSJS. Worked like a charm - very simple.

Neo4j: Converting REST call output to JSON

I have a requirement to convert the output of cypher into JSON.
Here is my code snippet.
RestCypherQueryEngine rcqer=new RestCypherQueryEngine(restapi);
String nodeN = "MATCH n=(Company) WITH COLLECT(n) AS paths RETURN EXTRACT(k IN paths | LAST(nodes(k))) as lastNode";
final QueryResult<Map<String,Object>> queryResult = rcqer.query(searchQuery);
for(Map<String,Object> row:queryResult)
{
System.out.println((ArrayList)row.get("lastNode"));
}
Output:
[http://XXX.YY6.192.103:7474/db/data/node/445, http://XXX.YY6.192.103:7474/db/data/node/446, http://XXX.YY6.192.103:7474/db/data/node/447, http://XXX.YY6.192.103:7474/db/data/node/448, http://XXX.YY6.192.103:7474/db/data/node/449, http://XXX.YY6.192.103:7474/db/data/node/450, http://XXX.YY6.192.103:7474/db/data/node/451, http://XXX.YY6.192.103:7474/db/data/node/452, http://XXX.YY6.192.103:7474/db/data/node/453]
I am not able to see the actual data (I am getting URL's). I am pretty sure I am missing something here.
I would also like to convert the output to JSON.
The cypher works in my browser interface.
I looked at various articles around this:
Java neo4j, REST and memory
Neo4j Cypher: How to iterate over ExecutionResult result
Converting ExecutionResult object to json
The last 2 make use of EmbeddedDatabase which may not be possible in my scenario (as the Neo is hosted in another cloud, hence the usage of REST).
Thanks.
Try to understand what you're doing? Your query does not make sense at all.
Perhaps you should re-visit the online course for Cypher: http://neo4j.com/online-course
MATCH n=(Company) WITH COLLECT(n) AS paths RETURN EXTRACT(k IN paths | LAST(nodes(k))) as lastNode
you can just do:
MATCH (c:Company) RETURN c
RestCypherQueryEngine rcqer=new RestCypherQueryEngine(restapi);
final QueryResult<Map<String,Object>> queryResult = rcqer.query(query);
for(Node node : queryResult.to(Node.class))
{
for (String prop : node.getPropertyKeys()) {
System.out.println(prop+" "+node.getProperty(prop));
}
}
I think it's better to use the JDBC driver for what you try to do, and also actually return the properties you're trying to convert to JSON.

What's wrong with my Meteor publication?

I have a publication, essentially what's below:
Meteor.publish('entity-filings', function publishFunction(cik, queryArray, limit) {
if (!cik || !filingsArray)
console.error('PUBLICATION PROBLEM');
var limit = 40;
var entityFilingsSelector = {};
if (filingsArray.indexOf('all-entity-filings') > -1)
entityFilingsSelector = {ct: 'filing',cik: cik};
else
entityFilingsSelector = {ct:'filing', cik: cik, formNumber: { $in: filingsArray} };
return SB.Content.find(entityFilingsSelector, {
limit: limit
});
});
I'm having trouble with the filingsArray part. filingsArray is an array of regexes for the Mongo $in query. I can hardcode filingsArray in the publication as [/8-K/], and that returns the correct results. But I can't get the query to work properly when I pass the array from the router. See the debugged contents of the array in the image below. The second and third images are the client/server debug contents indicating same content on both client and server, and also identical to when I hardcode the array in the query.
My question is: what am I missing? Why won't my query work, or what are some likely reasons it isn't working?
In that first screenshot, that's a string that looks like a regex literal, not an actual RegExp object. So {$in: ["/8-K/"]} will only match literally "/8-K/", which is not the same as {$in: [/8-K/]}.
Regexes are not EJSON-able objects, so you won't be able to send them over the wire as publish function arguments or method arguments or method return values. I'd recommend sending a string, then inside the publish function, use new RegExp(...) to construct a regex object.
If you're comfortable adding new methods on the RegExp prototype, you could try making RegExp an EJSON-able type, by putting this in your server and client code:
RegExp.prototype.toJSONValue = function () {
return this.source;
};
RegExp.prototype.typeName = function () {
return "regex";
}
EJSON.addType("regex", function (str) {
return new RegExp(str);
});
After doing this, you should be able to use regexes as publish function arguments, method arguments and method return values. See this meteorpad.
/8-K/.. that's a weird regex. Try /8\-K/.
A minus (-) sign is a range indicator and usually used inside square brackets. The reason why it's weird because how could you even calculate a range between 8 and K? If you do not escape that, it probably wouldn't be used to match anything (thus your query would not work). Sometimes, it does work though. Better safe than never.
/8\-K/ matches the string "8-K" anywhere once.. which I assume you are trying to do.
Also it would help if you would ensure your publication would always return something.. here's a good area where you could fail:
if (!cik || !filingsArray)
console.error('PUBLICATION PROBLEM');
If those parameters aren't filled, console.log is probably not the best way to handle it. A better way:
if (!cik || !filingsArray) {
throw "entity-filings: Publication problem.";
return false;
} else {
// .. the rest of your publication
}
This makes sure that the client does not wait unnecessarily long for publications statuses as you have successfully ensured that in any (input) case you returned either false or a Cursor and nothing in between (like surprise undefineds, unfilled Cursors, other garbage data.

What would be the opposite to hasFields?

I'm using logical deletes by adding a field deletedAt. If I want to get only the deleted documents it would be something like r.table('clients').hasFields('deletedAt'). My method has a withDeletes parameter which determines if deleted documents are excluded or not.
Finally, people at the #rethinkdb IRC channel suggested me to use the filter method and that did the trick:
query = adapter.table(table).filter(filters)
if withDeleted
query = adapter.filter (doc) ->
return doc.hasFields 'deletedAt'
else
query = adapter.filter (doc) ->
return doc.hasFields('deletedAt').not()
query.run connection, (err, results) ->
...
My question is why do I have to use filter and not something like:
query = adapter.table(table).filter(filters)
query = if withDeleted then query.hasFields 'deletedAt' else query.hasFields('deletedAt').not()
...
or something like that.
Thanks in advance.
The hasFields function can be called on both objects and sequences, but not cannot.
This query:
query.hasFields('deletedAt')
Behaves the same as this one (on sequences of objects):
query.filter((doc) -> return doc.hasFields('deletedAt'))
However, this query:
query.hasFields('deletedAt').not()
Behaves like this:
query.filter((doc) -> return doc.hasFields('deletedAt')).not()
But that doesn't make sense. you want the not to be inside the filter, not after it. Like this:
query.filter((doc) -> return doc.hasFields('deletedAt').not())
One nice that about RethinkDB is that because of the way queries are built up in host language it's very easy to define new fluent syntax by just defining functions in your language. For example if you wanted to have a lacksFields function you could define it in Python (sorry I don't really know coffeescript) like so:
def lacks_fields(stream, *args):
res = stream
for arg in args:
res = res.filter(lambda x: ~x.has_fields(arg))
return res
Then you can use a nice fluent syntax like:
lacks_fields(stream, "foo", "bar", "buzz")
