Prompt Detail:
To retrieve results from Mongoose that are from a specific day, you can use the $gte
and $lt
operators to filter for records that fall within a specific date range. Here's an example for a dynamic date, depending on the user's input:
javascriptconst startDate = new Date(req.body.date); // user input
const endDate = new Date(startDate);
endDate.setDate(endDate.getDate() + 1);
AttendanceRecord.find({
date: {
$gte: startDate,
$lt: endDate
}
})
.then(records => {
// handle retrieved records
})
.catch(err => {
// handle error
});
In this example, req.body.date
is the user input that specifies the date for which to retrieve records. We create a startDate
object from this input, and then create an endDate
object that is one day after the startDate
. We then use these values to filter the AttendanceRecord
collection with the $gte
and $lt
operators, retrieving all records with a date
value that falls within the specified date range.
