Using mix of AND and OR clause in sails and waterline


How can I use OR and AND clause in Sailsjs and its ORM Waterline? For example I have a table of books

 _______________________________________
| book_name | author   | free  | public |  
 _______________________________________
| Book-A    | Author-1 | false | true   |
 ---------------------------------------
| Book-B    | Author-1 | true  | true   |
 ---------------------------------------
| Book-C    | Author-1 | false | false  |
 ---------------------------------------
| Book-D    | Author-2 | true  | true   |
 ---------------------------------------

I want to get Books by Author-1 which are either public or free, which is Book-A and Book-B. How do I write this query with Sails.js


Solution

  • For doing so we can use the where api of Waterline, following is an example

    Book.find().where(  { or : [ { free  : true }, {   public: true  } ] })
                .where( { author : "Author-1" }  )
                .exec( function (err, books) {
                //Books will be an array containing all the books that matches this criteria
                //Some code here
        }
