Distinct entries #114

Open sarita-dc opened 8 years ago

sarita-dc commented 8 years ago

I want to fetch distinct entries from the field. Is there any option where I can avoid duplicate entries?

This is best done in the logic that populates the collection you give to autocomplete, and not handled by the package itself.

Perhaps you can try publishing a collection.distinct() query from the server, for example.

@mizzao Maybe there's a way I don't see because of my lack of experience, but collection.distinct() returns an array not a cursor, so I can't integrate it with the auto-complete, as it asks for a collection.

Yeah, you'd have to do some more legwork to get it from the raw Mongo query, over a publication, into a collection on the client :)

I see, thanks a lot !
