Here we will simulate a database with the Users collection:
1 COLLECTION: Users > [2 { name: "Chris Axxwell", nick: "Chris", age: 27 } , 3 { name: "Chris Buckman", nick: "Chris", age: 28 } , 4 { name: "Santiago Smith", nick: "Lollipop", age: 24 } , 5 { name: "Justin Dacker", nick: "Justin", age: 22 } , 6 { name: "Chris Morgan", nick: "Mor", age: 25 } , 7 ... 8 ]
Query the above database:
1 import MerlinDB, { Schema} from "@chrisaxxwell/merlin-db";2 //Or if you are using 'merlindb.max.js' just call 'new MerlinDB()'; 3 4 const merlin = new MerlinDB( ) ;5 merlin.connect( "Client") ; 6 var clientModel = merlin.model( "Users", <userSchema>) ;7 8 //$where: <function>; 9 clientModel.find( { 10 $where: function ( ) { 11 return this.name === 'Chris Axxwell'; 12 } 13 } ) .then( e => { 14 console.log( e) ; 15 //returns: 16 [ 17 { name: "Chris Axxwell", nick: "Chris", age: 27 } , 18 ... 19 ] 20 } )
