Sails JS - Waterline ORM - Query Date only, not Time - sails.js

Question

Looking to query against the date only anyone encountered this?
Sample code:
////MODEL
module.exports = {
attributes: {
date: {
type: 'date',
required: true
}
}
};
////CONTROLLER
var today = moment().toISOString();
var queryObj = { date: today };
var newDay = { date: today };
Day.findOrCreate(queryObj, newDay).exec(function(err, day) {
console.log(day)
});
Obviously this creates a new record on each refresh, as the iso string will change with each passing second.
Thanks for the help!

Instead of querying for a single date, you can query for a date range that includes all of today. First, you'll need to actually create values for that range--I whipped this up using Moment, but there's probably a better way:
var begin = moment(moment().format("YYYY-MM-DD")).toISOString();
var end = moment(moment().format("YYYY-MM-DD")).add(1, 'days').toISOString();
Then you can use query operators to search the range:
var queryObj = {date: {'>=': begin, '<': end}};
Day.findOrCreate(queryObj, newDay).exec(function(err, day) {
console.log(day)
});
As always, be mindful of time zone issues!
