8 years ago it could be implemented like this:
- in routes/cruds.js
- a new /api/searchOne route
- a modified /api/search to use the db method described below
- in db/mongodb.js
- a new private method which converts generic search terms used by /api/search to a mongodb search object (this is currently done in routes/cruds.js and should not) like this:
- "file:path" is converted to {file: "path"}
- "time<=1462263481000" is converted to {time: { $lte: 14622634810001462263481000 }}
- and so on
implement this new operation:
/api/search_one
this takes the same string argument as the search https://github.com/remyla/damas-core/wiki/API#apisearch
but instead of returning a list of matching node indexes it returns the first matching node found (full JSON node description not its index only)
this is useful to avoid sending the read query next when we expect only 1 node and when the network latency is a important issue.
