Aldeed Tabular ReactiveDict with $regex

blaze
1

Hi!

I’m using the great Aldeed:Tabular lib.

I have a selector() helper on the client that returns a ReactiveDict of filters (as Mongo query Object)

selector(): {
    return Template.instance().filters.all();
}

This works great when I’m filtering for just “if a value equals something” .

However, I’ve verified the Server’s changeSelector md doesn’t get called when I have a more complex query.

i.e. foo:{$regex:/someregex/} doesn’t get observed reactively on the server (but the client selector helper md does see the change)

I have a client event that sets the object above by doing the following.

template.filters.set(foo:{$regex:/someregex/});

I’m guessing this has something to do with how the ReactiveDict handles the “nested” object for the $regex mongo part.

Any insights? Thanks!
