--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 Model.find() -> [Person]

Use the function argument personName as the search key.

--hints--

Find all items corresponding to a criteria should succeed

(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);
    }
  );
