Cards.find() returns no cards

Wekan / General · December 26, 2020 at 11:28am (Edited 3 years ago)

Fooling around with putting together a simple My Cards implementation. However, I cannot get Cards.find() to return any cards. Boards.find() works perfectly.

cards() {
    // return [{ title: 'Card 1' }, { title: 'Card 2' }];
    const query = {
       archived: false,
       assignees: Meteor.userId(),
    };
    return Cards.find(query);
},

Is there something special that needs to be done to get Cards.find() to work?

P.S. Running the query in meteor mongo works perfectly.

./models/boards.js:  searchCards(term, excludeLinked) {
./client/components/sidebar/sidebarSearches.js:    return currentBoard.searchCards(this.term.get());
./client/components/lists/listBody.js:      return board.searchCards(this.term.get(), false);

    Hmm. I need the cards from all boards not just a certain board. Is there no way to do it with Cards.find(). I see it used in other places.

      That would be similar like searchCards, but without limiting it with boardId.

        And it should show My Cards only from boards that user is member of

          It seems that Cards.find() does search only from current board cards, that are loaded to webbrowser. To search from all cards of user etc, including cards that have not been loaded to webbrowser, I think you could search code with these keywords for related code: ./find.sh esSearch and ./find.sh EasySearch

            Maybe with My Cards you are trying to do something similar like Public Boards https://github.com/wekan/wekan/pull/3008

              I guess I am being stupid, but I cannot understand why Cards.find() does not work. searchCards uses Cards.find() with boardId specified. The problem is not with my query as return Cards.find(); without a query (which should return all cards) returns an empty cursor.

              I have a feeling that models/cards.js is not being imported properly.

                Well, I don't know is it good idea to have both function cards() added and then use Cards.find(), those could get mixed

                  Anyway, point is to use code that searches serverside, like esSearch etc. Because not all data is loaded to browserside.

                    Meteor.js moves data automatically between clientside and serverside

                      If you have only opened one board, only that board cards are loaded to browserside. Not from any other board.

                        At browserside, there is minimongo, that is minimal version of MongoDB database, coded with Javascript

                          Meteor.js web framework listens changes from MongoDB, and updates immediately boards or all logged in users, in realtime
