Web Developer Blog

Added new search feature on my blog site and pushed the changes in my git repository:

postSchema.index({ title: 'text', content: 'text', author: 'text'});

2) In my userCtrl I added new controller to handle the search function:

searchBlog: async (req, res) => {

try {

const searchTerm = req.body.searchTerm;

const blog = await Post.find( { $text: { $search: searchTerm, $diacriticSensitive: true }} )

res.render('search', { title: 'Blog - Search', blog } );

} catch (err) {

res.satus(500).send({message: err.message || "Error" });

}

3) Added /search router in my userRouter.js file:

router.post('/search', userCtrl.searchBlog);

4) Finally created search.ejs to render the results based on the search term in search field:

<% if(blog != '') { %>

<% blog.forEach(function(blog, index){ %>

<a href="/posts/<%- blog._id %>" class="col text-center category__link">

<div class="pt-1"><%- blog.title %></div>

<div class="pt-1"><%- blog.content %></div>

<div class="pt-1"><%- blog.author %></div>

</a>

<% }) %>

<% } else { %>

<p>No items found.</p>

<% } %>

Added New search feature on my blog site!
