[SOLVED] Need solution to search case insensitive fields, REACT, sailis , mongodb

Need solution to search case insensitive fields, REACT, sailis , mongodb

Adapter i am using is

adapter: "sails-mongo",

I am trying to query for matches, example: Assume Values in DB for field (name) are JOHN , John, JohN , john, JOhn martin

If i search with a query for name="john" results should JOHN, John, johN

In the below code i need solution with name: inputs.name case insensitive search

fn: async function (inputs, exits) {
let criteria = {
  name: inputs.name,
  deleteflag: false,
};

if (inputs.id) {
  criteria = {
    ...criteria,
    _id: { "!=": inputs.id },
  };
}

var existinPerson = await Person.find({
  where: criteria,
});
if (existinPerson && existinPerson.length) {
  return exits.success({ isPersonUnique: false });
} else {
  return exits.success({ isPersonUnique: true });
}

Solution

I used name: { like: inputs.marketName }, instead of name: inputs.name, and for fetching i used .meta({ makeLikeModifierCaseInsensitive: true })... Finally this solution worked well for my scenario var existinPerson = await Person.find({ where: criteria, }).meta({ makeLikeModifierCaseInsensitive: true });
