Searching multiple collections

[zaklampert]

Hello! This is fantastic.

Is it possible to search multiple collections in one search?

Thank you!

Yes. it is. It's upto you to define the search definition, either on server or client

[zaklampert]

Should it be as simple as

return [Recipes.find(selector, options).fetch(), Products.find(selector, options).fetch() ]

because that's spitting out a "Modifier must be an object" error.

Splitting the queries out like this worked.

 var recipeFind = Recipes.find(selector, options).fetch()
 var productFind = Products.find(selector, options).fetch()

  return  recipeFind, productFind

So cool.

[zaklampert]

Just kidding. It's actually just searching the second query.

[zaklampert]

simply _.extend-ing the two objects worked. like a charm

 var recipeFind = Recipes.find(selector, options).fetch()
    var productFind = Products.find(selector, options).fetch()
    var bothFind = _.extend(recipeFind, productFind)

    return {
        data: bothFind
    }

hooray!
