I need to search for users by name, their first name and last names are stored in separate columns in a postgresql database. The columns need to be concatenated for search to work properly. Typing the full first and last name of a user should match a result.
What could I pass as a query to the find method of a Feathers service that would allow me to do this?
As in the answer linked you can pass the where clause to the Feathers service by modifying params.query in a before hook:
app.service('users').before({
find(hook) {
const where = Sequelize.where(Sequelize.fn("concat",
Sequelize.col("firstname"),
Sequelize.col("lastname")), {
like: '%John Do%'
}
);
hook.params.query.where = where;
}
})

By default Ag Grid Quick Filter function return rows that contains search string. For example if I type "30 June" in the searchbox, quick filter will also return rows that contains "30 cars were sold by 2 June" text. How can I override default behavior to receive only rows that exactly match my search string?
What I did was the following:
In the search itself, I removed the spaces from the search criteria:
this.gridApi.setQuickFilter(event.toLowerCase().replace(" ", ""));
In each column that I wanted an exact match, I added this code in the column definition:
getQuickFilterText: (params) => { return params.value && params.value.toLowerCase().replace(" ", "");}
(That is the override method for search. See here for more details: https://www.ag-grid.com/angular-data-grid/filter-quick/)
It seems to be working for me.
To achieve the exact match results column wise, You have to do these two things :
Remove cacheQuickFilter property from your default column definition object in gridOptions as caching convert all the columns data into a string separated by backward slash. That's the reason it will not be able to search column by column.
Add getQuickFilterText function in each column definition and add a condition for a exact match else return an empty string.
getQuickFilterText: params => {
return (params.value === <quick filter value>) ? params.value : ''
}
Now the tricky part here is how to access quick filter value inside getQuickFilterText function. You can achieve this in two ways :
Assign an id to quick filter search element and then access it's value using document.getElementById('quick-filter').value
Store the quick filter search value on change and put into a store state or service and then access that inside getQuickFilterText function.
We have following structure in MongoDB documents.
{
"id":"1111",
"keys":[
{
"name":"Country",
"value":"USA"
},
{
"name":"City",
"value":"LongIsland"
},
{
"name":"State",
"value":"NewYork"
}
]
}
Now using Springframework Query object, I figured out a way to pull the details using below syntax
query.addCriteria(
Criteria.where("keys.value").is(countryparam).
andOperator(
Criteria.where("keys.value").is(stateparam)
)
);
Two issue with this query model.
First issue is it is irrelevant if countryparam and stateparam are actually meant to match Country key name and State key name respectively. If just the values matches, the query returns the document. Means, if I have Country and City params, this just works if user passes Country and City values, even if they are swapped. So how can I exactly compare City to cityparam and State to Stateparam?
More complexity is if I have to extract the document basing on multiple key value pairs, I should be correspondingly able to match key name with respective value and query the document. How can I do this?
Thanks in advance!
I have a postgres table in which I have some "defaulted" fields like date_created which automatically receives a current_timestamp as default.
or the ID field which gets it's value from a sequence defined in the database.
What would be (if possible) the syntax to tell the ORM module to not include these two fields when generating an INSERT statement ?
You can use a function as 2nd parameter to remove the fields:
$this->copyfrom('POST',function($val) {
unset($val['ID']);
unset($val['date_created']);
return $val
});
or to only copy allowed fields from the POST array:
$this->copyfrom('POST',function($val) {
return array_intersect_key($val, array_flip(array('name','age')));
});
Assuming you are using an HTML form to add new records into the tables, follow the steps below;
In the form, omit these 'defaulted' fields, i.e. add only the fields that you want to submit
Create a model with a function similar to below
public function add() {
$this->copyFrom ( 'POST' );
$this->save ();
}
Create a route that links the form to this function
I got an extension in which i want to include some filters, i know figured out that i can filter the results that are shown of my listAction() by using findBy.
I tested it and it worked like this:
$cars = $this->carRepository->findByCarid("1");
$this->view->assign('cars', $cars);
My problem now is i need to filter the result with more than one Parameter, what if i want to add findByColor("blue") so it gives me all cars wit hid 1 and color blue? What solution does extbase have for that kind of search queries? i can`t find anything good or understandable in the documentation.
You have to extend you repository and code this functionality on your own. Extbase offers you a simple but powerful API to do so.
class whatEverYourRepositoryIsCalled extends \TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Persistence\Repository {
public function findByFilter($carId, $color) {
// Create empty query = select * from table
$query = $this->createQuery();
// Add query options
return $query->matching(
// ALL conditions have to be met (AND)
$query->logicalAnd(
// table column carId must be euqal to $carId
$query->equals('carId', $carId),
// table column color must be euqal to $color
$query->equals('color', $color)
)
);
}
}
This is a quite simple approach to your problem. In a real world scenario I would probably use an array of filter criteria to do the filtering like array('carId' => 1, 'color' => 'blue'). Inside of findByFilter() those values would be extracted and added to the query.
The key is to build the desired query. A quite comprehensive explanation of how to do that can be found at http://blog.typoplanet.de/2010/01/27/the-repository-and-query-object-of-extbase/. Unfortunately it's not completely up to date but the part about constructing queries is still valid.
Im trying to select only specific attributes on the many-to-many relation users, just like in one-to-one. But using select() on belongsToMany() seem to be ignored and i'm still getting all the User attributes.
class Computer extends Eloquent {
public function users() {
return $this->belongsToMany("User")->select("email");
}
public function admin() {
return $this->hasOne("User")->select("email");
}
}
Computer::with("users")->get();
Is there a way of filtering only specified columns from related entity with belongsToMany()?
Yes, you actually can.
Computer::with("users")->get(array('column_name1','column_name2',...));
Be careful though if you have the same column name for both tables linked by your pivot table. In this case, you need to specify the table name in dot notation, tableName.columnName. For example if both users and computer has a column name id, you need to do :
Computer::with("users")->get(array('users.id','column_name2',...));
According to Taylor Otwell it is not currently possible: https://github.com/laravel/laravel/issues/2679
I have tried to use a lists('user.email') at the end of the query but I can't make it work.
Computer::with(["users" => function($query){
$query->select('column1','column2','...');
}])->get();
