i am trying to find records in my collection that have both the user's id and a photo id in my "likes" collection.
In the collection both photo_id and user_id are pointers. This is the code i've tried without success.
var user_id = localStorage.getItem("user_id");
where={"$and": [{"collName":"Photos","id": value},{"collName":"users","_id": user_id}]}
i think i'm close on the code, but something is obviously wrong.
Hello Bill,
Here is the correct query syntax on pointer value:
http://docs.appery.io/documentation/b...
this is my current syntax and it doesn't seem to be working.
var user_id = localStorage.getItem("user_id");
return '{"$and": [{"Photo_id": {"collName":"Photos","id": '+value+'}},{"user_id":{"collName":"users","_id": '+user_id+'}}]}';
Are there any errors in the browser console?
looking in the console did show me that i had some 400 errors on the api.
But after much trial and error, the following code successfully works. This is being used as a way to see if a user has liked a photo or not. So the user id and the photo id are stored locally. Temp is just a spot where i am storing the id of the like record which then gives me either a number or a blank variable, by which i run my conditional statement. The code below is what I send to the query to check if the record exists. So here it is...
localStorage.setItem("temp", "");
var user_id = localStorage.getItem("user_id");
var unique_photo = localStorage.getItem("photo_unique_id");
return '{"$and": [{"Photo_id": {"collName":"Photos","id":"' + value + '"}},{"user_id":{"collName":"users","_id": "' + user_id + '"}}]}';
FYI, i am trying to run several queries and also run create services, and several of them suddenly just started giving me internal server errors (500). For them all to break at once leads me to think the problem is on your end.
