mongoose-paginate module is not supporting query operators

Question

I just realised that mongoose-paginate IS NOT supporting Comparison Query Operators https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/operator/query-comparison/

Example:

(created_on: Date)

Post.paginate({
    created_on: {
        gte: new Date('2019-01-01T00:00:00.000Z')
    }
}, {
    page: 2,
    limit: 10,
    sort: {
        created_on: 'desc'
    }
}).then((data) => {
    // do something with docs
});

This will throw an error:

CastError: Cast to date failed for value "{ gte: 2019-01-01T00:00:00.000Z }" at path "created_on" for model "Post"

It seems like it compares the property created_on with the whole object {$gte: new Date('2019-01-01T00:00:00.000Z')} and it ignores that operator $gte. In the example above, it tries to compare a date with an object which ends up thrown a cast error!

UPDATE

Actually it was my mistake, forgot to put $ sign before gte

Answer 1

My bad, it was my mistake that I forgot $ before gte

Post.paginate({
    created_on: {
        $gte: new Date('2019-01-01T00:00:00.000Z')
    }
}, {
    page: 2,
    limit: 10,
    sort: {
        created_on: 'desc'
    }
}).then((data) => {
    // do something with docs
});
