Show different objects in order

[Eric Ponce]

Hello people!

I have 3 models. For example, songs, status and photos. Each object has a particular structure:

Song:

id, title, body

Status

id, text

Photos

id, title, fileName

One user hasMany the 3 objects: hasMany(Songs), hasMany(Status), hasMany(Photos)

How can I show MY objects in my profile in order of updateDate, for example. This would be the result:

My profile:

Song2 - updateDate(5/1/2013 19:00)
Title: One song2

Body: The body song2

-----------

Song - updateDate(4/1/2013 00:00)
Title: One song

Body: The body song

-----------

Status - updateDate(3/1/2013 03:00)
Text: Hello world

-----------

Photo - updateDate(2/1/2013 10:00)
Title: One pic

fileName: the_pic.jpg

-----------

Status - updateDate(1/1/2013 00:00)
Text: My first object

 

I can give all objects in the controller but I don't know how can I intercalate different objects with a "for" ore some similar loop.

Show the same object its very easy with "for( var i in songs)" but with different objects I don't know how can I do it...

thanks to all!

I think this is what you want: https://github.com/mde/model#sorting-results

I'm not sure...

First of all, I'm using MongoDB

And the other thing, If I needed to do this, i would do some like this:

geddy.model.User.first( someId, function(err, user){
    user.getSongs(function(err, songs){

    user.getPhotos(function(err, photos){

    user.getStatus(function(err, status){

        self.respond(songs, photos, status);

    });

    });

    });

});

And in the view:

for( var i in songs ){

}

for( var p in photos ){

}

for( var s in status ){

}

but the results will not be intercaled.

Doing this the result will be:

Song

Song2

---

Photo

Photo2

Photo3

---

Status

And I want:

Song

Photo

Photo2

Status

Photo3

Song2

Ordered by createdAt, updatedAt or id, it doesn't matter....its an example...

thanks matthew and sorry

I'ts possible to do this "easily" or I have to get all objects, put in array and order them, or similar...?

thanks ;)

Yes, if you're using Mongo, sort is only sorted on properties on the actual object, not items inside collection properties. You'll have pass those properties to a `sort` function with a specific comparator function that sorts them into the order you want: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/sort
