Meteor searchIn

It's package for Meteor which allows server side search functionality.

Features

Indexing of selected fields for faster search.
Transliteration. You can search for Rīga by typing riga or Рига.
Possibility to use together with chompomonim:autoform-picker.

Usage

First you have register your collection.

import searchIn from 'meteor/chompomonim:search-in'
import myCollection from './collections/myCollection'

if (Meteor.isServer) {
  searchIn.register(myCollection, function () {
    return {
      name: `${this.first_name} ${this.last_name}`,
      email: ((this.emails != null) ? this.emails : []).join(' ')    }
  })
}

And then you can use it in any place you have to search.

  Meteor.call('searchIn', _collection, txt, filter, (error, result) => {
    if (error) {
      alert(error.reason)
    }
    else {
      // Do wathewer you need.
      for (let res of result) {
        console.log('Result obj: ', res)
      }
    }
  })

Usage from client

If you want to search from client, you should write Meteor method for that.

import { Meteor } from 'meteor/meteor';
import { searchIn, getCollectionByName } from 'meteor/nous:search-in'

// Register method to access search function from frontend.
Meteor.methods({
    searchIn: function (collection_name, txt, filter) {
        let collection = getCollectionByName(collection_name)
        return searchIn(collection, txt, filter)
    }
})
