allow API to search things better #504
Conversation
This allows a query such as this to search for events of hypoglycemia for
example:
curl -g localhost:3434 \
/api/v1/entries \
'?find[sgv][$lte]=70&find[sgv][$gte]=20&count=1000
It's possible to construct most mongo queries by url encoding the query string.
In this instance, mongo performs poorly when searching for lte/gte for strings.
In order for ranged queries to perform properly, the query parameters must be
set to integer type. There is a quick and ugly helper to ensure that some sgv
queries will be respected as integer searches.

Cool, very useful |
|
Looks like lots of data is getting filtered out, missing |
|
and would be nice if |
Queries such as: ?find[type]=mbg will now serve responses with payloads with non-SGV data elements, including mbgs. In fact, the type query above filters to select only mbg records.
|
I strongly encourage using iso8601 date encoding to make the date filtering features work with ease. |
|
I agree on date format, I don't think the api really used yet so it's a good fine to change. Maybe add a param to return UTC timestamps? |
|
Works good should we do something with the date format here (export only) or wait till we do something bigger? |
|
Lets look at date formatting outside of this, going to merge now |
