The Realm JavaScript SDK supports querying based on a language inspired by [NSPredicate](https://realm.io/news/nspredicate-cheatsheet/).
|
|
|
|
The {@link Realm.Collection#filtered Collection.filtered()} method is used to query a Realm:
|
|
|
|
```JS
|
|
let contacts = realm.objects('Contact');
|
|
let friendsPage2 = contacts.filtered('type == "friend" AND name BEGINSWITH "B"');
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
It's possible to filter by linked or child objects with a keypath.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
```JS
|
|
let johnsChildren = realm.Object('Contact').filtered('father.name == "John"');
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Query strings can use numbered (`$0`, `$1`, ...) placeholders. The succeeding parameters contain the values.
|
|
Named placeholders are **not** yet supported.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
```JS
|
|
let merlots = wines.filtered('variety == $0 && vintage <= $1', 'Merlot', maxYear);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Relational operators
|
|
You can use equality comparison on all property types:
|
|
`==` and `!=`
|
|
|
|
Furthermore, the following can be used on numerical types:
|
|
`<`, `<=`, `>`, `>=`
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
```JS
|
|
let oldContacts = realm.objects('Contact').filtered('age > 2');
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note that for boolean properties, you should test against the expected keyword.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
```JS
|
|
let women = realm.objects('Contact').filtered('isMale == false');
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### String operators
|
|
For string properties, prefix, suffix, and substring queries are supported by using the `BEGINSWITH`, `ENDSWITH`, and `CONTAINS` operators.
|
|
|
|
For any string operation you can append `[c]` to the operator to make it case insensitive.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
```JS
|
|
let peopleWhoseNameContainsA = realm.objects('Contact').filtered('name CONTAINS[c] "a"');
|
|
let Johns = realm.objects('Contact').filtered('name ==[c] "john"');
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Composition
|
|
Use parentheses and the `&&`/`AND` and `||`/`OR` operators to compose queries. You can negate a predicate with `!`/`NOT`.
