defaultSearchOptions sortBy: not working

[ramsaymax]

Hey Matt,

I'm having a weird issue with sorting in easysearch that I've spent hours trying to fix.

I've basically copied the example "Add sorting to you app" line for line exactly:

http://matteodem.github.io/meteor-easy-search/docs/recipes/

it works great, the only issue is that when the app loads it does not load documents by default. Only when I select a sort from the drop down will it load documents.

The moment I remove the sort logic and add a basic return, default documents are there.

I believe it has something to do with this code:

sort: function (searchObject, options) {
      const sortBy = options.search.props.sortBy
      if ('relevance' === sortBy) {
        return {
          'establishment.visitCount': -1,
        }
      } else if ('followers' === sortBy) {
        return {
          'establishment.RatingsCount': -1,
        }
      } else if ('growth' === sortBy) {
        return {
          'establishment.DemoterCount': -1,
        }
      } else {
        throw new Meteor.Error('Invalid sort by prop passed')
      }
    }

I've tried passing in the defaultSearchOptions too:

import { PubData } from './WarmPub.js';
import { EasySearch } from 'meteor/easy:search';
import { _ } from 'meteor/underscore';

export const PubIndex = new EasySearch.Index({
  engine: new EasySearch.MongoDB({
    sort: function (searchObject, options) {
      const sortBy = options.search.props.sortBy
      // return a mongo sort specifier
      if ('relevance' === sortBy) {
        return {
          'establishment.visitCount': -1,
        }
      } else if ('positive' === sortBy) {
        return {
          'establishment.RatingsCount': -1,
        }
      } else if ('negative' === sortBy) {
        return {
          'establishment.DemoterCount': -1,
        }
      } else {
        throw new Meteor.Error('Invalid sort by prop passed')
      }
    },
    selector: function (searchObject, options, aggregation) {
      let selector = this.defaultConfiguration().selector(searchObject, options, aggregation),
        categoryFilter = options.search.props.categoryFilter;
      if (_.isString(categoryFilter) && !_.isEmpty(categoryFilter)) {
        selector.category = categoryFilter;
      }
      return selector;
    }
  }),
  collection: PubData,
  fields: ['establishment.name','establishment.visitCount'],
  // fields: ['name'],
    defaultSearchOptions: {
      sortBy: 'relevance',
    limit: 32
  },
permission: () => {
    //console.log(Meteor.userId());
    return true;
  }
});

and also wont work

I think the documentation might be lacking in an explanation for this

Are you using easy search components? Also notice that the easy search leaderboard loads documents by default

what was the problem? 😄

Hey!

I changed:

sort: function (searchObject, options) {
      const sortBy = options.search.props.sortBy
      if ('relevance' === sortBy) {
        return {
          'establishment.visitCount': -1,
        }
      } else if ('followers' === sortBy) {
        return {
          'establishment.RatingsCount': -1,
        }
      } else if ('growth' === sortBy) {
        return {
          'establishment.DemoterCount': -1,
        }
      } else {
        throw new Meteor.Error('Invalid sort by prop passed')
      }
    }
sort: function (searchObject, options) {
      const sortBy = options.search.props.sortBy
      if ('relevance' === sortBy) {
        return {
          'establishment.visitCount': -1,
        }
      } else if ('followers' === sortBy) {
        return {
          'establishment.RatingsCount': -1,
        }
      } else if ('growth' === sortBy) {
        return {
          'establishment.DemoterCount': -1,
        }
      } else {
        throw new Meteor.Error('Invalid sort by prop passed')
      }
    }

to

    sort: function (searchObject, options) {
      const sortBy = options.search.props.sortBy

      // return a mongo sort specifier
      if ('relevance' === sortBy) {
        return {
          '_source.accounts.influencer_score': -1,
        }
      } else if ('followers' === sortBy) {
        return {
          '_source.total_followers': -1,
        }
      } else if ('growth' === sortBy) {
        return {
          '_source.total_followers_growth': -1,
        }
      } else {
        return {
          '_source.accounts.influencer_score': -1,
        }
      }
    },
