Mongodb $ne issue

help
1

Hallo @all,

I have a small app where user send to another user tasks. I want to show the user unred tasks with a counter in a button. My Task db object has the following key: value --> readTask: []. If the Id of the user in not inside this array, then he doesn’t read the task. Ok, for this reason I have the following helper:

Template.privateNavbar.helpers({
    'taskcounter': function() {
	var userid = Meteor.user()._id;
	return Task.find({readTask: {$ne: {$in: [userid]}}}).fetch().length;
}
});

but it doesn’t work and I get the following error in my browser console:

Uncaught Error: Can’t create equalityValueSelector for operator object(…)

and I don’t know why because this db command work in meteor shell. Has anyone an solution for this issue?

ps: Sorry for my bad english.

well, correct operator would be https://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/operator/query/nin/
still, you talk about property readTask, but in example only property is “set”

You should also use Task.find({..your params}).count() instead of .find().fetch().length as per Meteor docs
