Re: [aerogear-dev] AeroGear.js DataManager Filter Method

Hi, I'm not really confortable with the double dot, but I have no other idea for the moment :) (maybe '->' ?).

And should your pseudo code not be written this way : var filtered = filter({ "x.sites.'google.com'.type": { data: "search engine" } }); ?

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.
