jss:anti-search-source

Flexible search in collections based on publish/subscribe

Features

• Search by multiple fields
• Searched fields transform
• Search in local or global mode
• High security level in global mode
• Search in relatives collections

Search configuration

• collection - instance of collection to search in;
• searchMode - where search: "global" (server) or "local" (client);
• fields - fields to search by. Also, support search in related collections;
• mongoQuery - additional Mongo query;
• limit - count of documents in result.

Client methods

• search('stringToSearch') - changes search string;
• searchResult([options]) - return search result as Mongo.Cursor (Array for 'global' search). options work similarly to Meteor collection find()'s. Reactive data source;
• setMongoQuery(newMongoQuery) - replaces Mongo query from configuration
• setLimit(newLimit) - change limit;
• incrementLimit([increment=10]) - increase limit on value;
• isDataReady - reactive state which shows if data is returned.

Usage example

Persons = new Mongo.Collection('persons');

if (Meteor.isClient) {
  Template.hello.onCreated(function () {
    this.searchSource = this.AntiSearchSource({
      collection: Persons,
      searchMode: 'global',
      fields: ['name', 'email', {
          collection: 'groups',
          referenceField: 'groupId',
          fields: ['groupDescription']
      }, {
          collection: 'home',
          referenceField: 'homeId',
          fields: ['homeDescription','otherField']
      }],
      mongoQuery: {
        age: {$gte: 30}
      },
      limit: 10
    });
  });

  Template.hello.helpers({
    searchResult: function () {
      return Template.instance().searchSource.searchResult();
    }
  });

  Template.hello.events({
    'keyup input': _.throttle(function (event, tmpl) {
      tmpl.searchSource.search($('input').val())
    }, 1500)
  });
}

if (Meteor.isServer) {
  AntiSearchSource.allow('persons', {
    maxLimit: 20,
    securityCheck (userId, configs) {
      return !!userId;
    },
    allowedFields: ['name', 'email']
  });
}
