Filter

Overview of filter document

Filter document allows you to specify what records should be returned.

How to use

A format of a filter document is shown below. You provide a field, which is a field saved inside a database, and a value or selector.

{ <field>: <value>, <field2>: { <selector> }, ... }

An example is shown below. Here we have two fields which we know exists in database. This will filter all the records with a name John and age greater than 18.

{ "name": "John", "age": { "$gt": 18 } }

To filter items inside an object, separate fields by a dot.

{ "address.house_number": 202 }
