mapping a search for the tiggzi database

[Mike4997955]

Tiggzi builder is awsome. And your technical support has been great! I've make a clickable list with the Tiggzi database, and i have a local variable with the value of _id from the tiggzi database. How do i need to map the service to the UI, so i can get select the record with by _id? What are the input parameters?

I'm not 100% sure I understand the question.. can you show a screen shot of the UI and what exactly you want to select?

OK here's the screenshot.

My local variable, IdTag has the value of _objectId from the Tiggzi database. I want to get that record. I thought this would be the easiest way, but it didn't work. After accessing a single record in the Tiggzi database, i'mm looking for a simple way to retrieve it on another screen.

I can use a query with a unique value if that is easier.

The local variable value is available on every page in your app.

I know. I thought about that route, but it wasn't practical for all the data is have. I've used queries before. I just need help setting this one up. I thought that objectid would be easiest. The database shows the value in hex, so I wasn't sure if it was a numerical variable. Wanted to also make sure the ui is correct. Thanks.

I mean, that the mapping is correct.

[maxkatz]

Database id is a string, it's just random number.

I'm still not clear what exactly you are trying to do. Can you show/describe the query you are trying to run?

[Mike4997955]

I want to query _objectId in the Tiggzi database, using a stored variable. I have the screenshot above.

The mapping is almost correct. Instead of mapping it directly to the object, you need to add 'where' parameter:

'where'

then in JavaScript mapping, create a string that looks like this:

return "{'_objectId': 'id'}";

Ok, that works for a string, but i need to use a variable in my query. I tried this, but it didn't work:
return "{'name':localStorage.getItem('IdTag')}";
name is the column in the database, and IdTag is the local variable.
