Question

I have a simple document named Order structure with the fields id, name,
userId and timeScheduled.

What I would like to do is create a view where I can find the
document.id for those who’s userId is some value and timeScheduledis
after a given date.

My view:

"by_users_after_time": {
      "map": "function(doc) { if (doc.userId && doc.timeScheduled) {
emit([doc.timeScheduled, doc.userId], doc._id); }}"
  }

If I do

localhost:5984/orders/_design/Order/_view/by_users_after_time?startKey="[2012-01-01T11:40:52.280Z,f98ba9a518650a6c15c566fc6f00c157]"

I get every result back. Is there a way to access key[1] to do an if
doc.userId == key[1] or something along those lines and simply emit on the
time?

This would be the SQL equivalent of

select id from Order where userId =
"f98ba9a518650a6c15c566fc6f00c157" and timeScheduled >
2012-01-01T11:40:52.280Z;

I did quite a few Google searches but I can’t seem to find a good tutorial
on working with multiple keys. It’s also possible that my approach is
entirely flawed so any guidance would be appreciated.

Answer 1

The answer actually came from the couchdb mailing list:

Essentially, the Date.parse() doesn’t like the +0000 on the timestamps. By
doing a substring and removing the +0000, everything worked.

For the record,

document.write(new Date("2012-02-13T16:18:19.565+0000")); //Outputs Invalid
Date
document.write(Date.parse("2012-02-13T16:18:19.565+0000")); //Outputs NaN

But if you remove the +0000, both lines of code work perfectly.
