[aerogear-dev] AeroGear.js DataManager Filter Method
Hey all, I am trying to enhance the filter method to be able to filter objects based on
values nested inside other objects inside that main object. My first thought was just to
use dot notation to specify the field we are filtering on but that runs into issues if the
key actually has a "." in it like this:
var x = {
sites: {
"google.com": {
type: "search engine"
}
}
}
Trying to traverse that object via:
// pseudocode
var filtered = filter({
"x.sites.google.com.type": {
data: "search engine"
}
});
would fail. I'm wondering if we should just define our own separator for the path
through the object. We could use ".." (double-dot) which I think should work so
something like:
// pseudocode
var filtered = filter({
"x..sites..google.com..type": {
data: "search engine"
}
});
Then I can separate on ".." and parse that way. Thoughts?
