Search using FrontQL

Introduction

In web applications, it is common to search for specific data or information. FrontQL provides the ability to search for data using the search query parameter.

In FrontQL, search is a crucial component of data retrieval and search functionality. Search is used to find specific data or information in the database. The search query parameter is used to specify the search criteria and the results are returned based on the search query.

Implementing Search

The search query parameter is used to specify the search criteria.
The results are returned based on the search query.
It is passed to the params of the request.
If search changes, no need to regenerate the token.

Example

Here’s a simple example of implementing search using FrontQL:

API
Fetch

async function getUsers() {
  const response = await Api.get("/users", {
    search: "name:John",
  });

  return response;
}

async function getUsers() {
  const url = `${BASE_URL}/users?search=name:John`; // Replace BASE_URL with the base URL of API server
  const response = await fetch(url, {
    method: "GET",
    headers: {
      "Content-Type": "application/json",
      app: DATABASE, // Replace DATABASE with the name of your database
      token: TOKEN, // Replace TOKEN with the token
      // OR
      // Authorization: `Bearer ${AUTH_TOKEN}`, // Replace AUTH_TOKEN with the authorization token,
    }
  })

  const data = await response.json();
  return data;
}

This will return us all users with the name “John”.
