# --description--
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In its simplest usage, `Model.find()` accepts a query document (a JSON object) as the first argument, then a callback. It returns an array of matches. It supports an extremely wide range of search options. Read more in the docs.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# --instructions--
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Modify the `findPeopleByName` function to find all the people having a given name, using <code>Model.find() -\> [Person]</code>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Use the function argument `personName` as the search key.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# --hints--
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Find all items corresponding to a criteria should succeed
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
(getUserInput) =>
|
||
|
|
$.post(getUserInput('url') + '/_api/find-all-by-name', {
|
||
|
|
name: 'r@nd0mN4m3',
|
||
|
|
age: 24,
|
||
|
|
favoriteFoods: ['pizza']
|
||
|
|
}).then(
|
||
|
|
(data) => {
|
||
|
|
assert.isArray(data, 'the response should be an Array');
|
||
|
|
assert.equal(
|
||
|
|
data[0].name,
|
||
|
|
'r@nd0mN4m3',
|
||
|
|
'item.name is not what expected'
|
||
|
|
);
|
||
|
|
assert.equal(data[0].__v, 0, 'The item should be not previously edited');
|
||
|
|
},
|
||
|
|
(xhr) => {
|
||
|
|
throw new Error(xhr.responseText);
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
);
|
||
|
|
```
