Ghost Filter Query examples

Filter Queries - Example Use Cases

Here are a few example use cases, these use cases combine filter with other parameters to make useful API queries. The syntax for any of this may change between now, implementation, and release - they're meant as illustrative examples :)

Fetch 3 posts with tags which match 'photo' or 'video' and aren't the post with id 5.

api.posts.browse({filter: "tags:[photo, video] + id:-5", limit="3"});

GET /api/posts?filter=tags%3A%5Bphoto%2Cvideo%5D%2Bid%3A-5&limit=3

progrium/bashstyle

Bash is the JavaScript of systems programming. Although in some cases it's better to use a systems language like C or Go, Bash is an ideal systems language for smaller POSIX-oriented or command line tasks. Here's three quick reasons why:

  • It's everywhere. Like JavaScript for the web, Bash is already there ready for systems programming.
  • It's neutral. Unlike Ruby, Python, JavaScript, or PHP, Bash offends equally across all communities. ;)
  • It's made to be glue. Write complex parts in C or Go (or whatever!), and glue them together with Bash.

This document is how I write Bash and how I'd like collaborators to write Bash with me in my open source projects. It's based on a lot of experience and time collecting best practices. Most of them come from these two articles, but here integrated, slightly modified, and focusing on the most bang for buck items. Plus some ne

PostgreSQL index naming convention to remember

The standard names for indexes in PostgreSQL are:

{tablename}_{columnname(s)}_{suffix}

where the suffix is one of the following:

  • pkey for a Primary Key constraint;
  • key for a Unique constraint;
  • excl for an Exclusion constraint;
  • idx for any other kind of index;

Javascript var self = this; vs. .bind

The Problem

In Javascript this is bound in unexpected ways. Functions, in particular, create a new 'this' and so when you want to keep a reference to an "outer" object you sometimes see the pattern:

var self = this;

as in:

var self = this;
