Use this strategy to get documents from the view by key. The view will be searched by the first sorted column.

 

Allowed method

  • GET

Parameters:

  • databaseName(String databaseName): name of the database to read data from, use "server!!path/database.nsf" format; when omitted, current database is used
  • viewName(String viewName): name of the view; mandatory
  • keyVariableName(String keyVariableName): name of the variable name in route to read key from; mandatory
  • mode("exact"): when present, sets strict key matching. Uses view.getAllDocumentsByKey(key, true). If this parameter is omitted, uses view.getAllDocumentsByKey(key, false) - default

 

Let's assume our database has view called (ByTopic), that contains first sorted column displaying Topic field.

Notice the {filterValue} part of the first line bellow. This is placeholder for where SmartNSF expects to read parameter value for keyVariableName from, see line 4. 

router.GET('topics/filter/{filterValue}') {
   strategy(DOCUMENTS_FROM_VIEW_BY_KEY) {
      viewName('(ByTopic)')
      keyVariableName('filterValue')      
   }
   mapJson 'id', json:'id', type:'STRING', isformula:true, formula:'@DocumentUniqueID'
   mapJson 'date_created', json:'date_created', type:'DATETIME', isformula:true, formula:'@Created'
   mapJson 'topic', json:'topic', type:'STRING'
   mapJson 'author', json:'author', type:'STRING', isformula:true, formula:'@Name([CN]; @Author)'
}

 

URL parameters:

  • count: number or records to return, default is 10
  • start: position in the view to start from, default value is 1

 

With route defined above, URL http://server.name/path-to/db.nsf/xsp/.xrest/topics/filter/test will return all documents from view (ByTopic) with field Topic starting with "test". If mode('exact') was specified, it would return just those document with Topic "test".

 

For example, if only one document matches this filter, we'll get this JSON:

   {
    "entries": [
        {
            "date_created": "2017-03-03T18:28+00:00",
            "author": "Martin Jinoch",
            "id": "54502859C07299C7C12580D8006404F4",
            "topic": "test"
        }
    ],
    "start": 1,
    "total": 1,
    "count": 1
}
