### Simple queries

@@ -18,55 +26,54 @@ For example, say you have a collection as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
const Post = {
|
||||
slug: 'posts',
|
||||
slug: "posts",
|
||||
fields: [
|
||||
{
|
||||
name: 'color',
|
||||
type: 'select',
|
||||
options: [
|
||||
'mint',
|
||||
'dark-gray',
|
||||
'white',
|
||||
],
|
||||
name: "color",
|
||||
type: "select",
|
||||
options: ["mint", "dark-gray", "white"],
|
||||
},
|
||||
{
|
||||
name: 'featured',
|
||||
type: 'checkbox',
|
||||
}
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
name: "featured",
|
||||
type: "checkbox",
|
||||
},
|
||||
],
|
||||
};
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
You may eventually have a lot of documents within this Collection. If you wanted to find only documents with `color` equal to `mint`, you could write a query as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
const query = {
|
||||
color: { // property name to filter on
|
||||
equals: 'mint', // operator to use and value to compare against
|
||||
color: {
|
||||
// property name to filter on
|
||||
equals: "mint", // operator to use and value to compare against
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
};
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The above example demonstrates a simple query but you can get much more complex.

||||
|
||||
### Operators
|
||||
|
||||
| Operator | Description |
|
||||
| -------------------- | ------------ |
|
||||
| `equals` | The value must be exactly equal. |
|
||||
| `not_equals` | The query will return all documents where the value is not equal. |
|
||||
| `greater_than` | For numeric or date-based fields. |
|
||||
| `greater_than_equal` | For numeric or date-based fields. |
|
||||
| `less_than` | For numeric or date-based fields. |
|
||||
| `less_than_equal` | For numeric or date-based fields. |
|
||||
| `like` | The value must partially match. |
|
||||
| `in` | The value must be found within the provided comma-delimited list of values. |
|
||||
| `not_in` | The value must NOT be within the provided comma-delimited list of values. |

|

If you know your users will be querying on certain fields a lot, you can add <strong>index: true</strong> to a field's config which will speed up searches using that field immensely.
