Implement a search feature that allows users to search for specific values in the responses table. When a user clicks the search button or presses enter, the app should search the database for the value entered. Create a search button that triggers this functionality.

Pseudocode: Implement Search Functionality in Responses Collection

Objective:

Implement a search feature that allows users to search for specific values in the responses collection. When a user clicks the search button or presses enter, the app should search the database for the value entered and return matching documents.

Steps:

1. Define the Search Route in the Backend

  • Express Route Handler Example:

    const express = require('express');
    const router = express.Router();
    const Response = require('../models/responseModel');  // Assuming the schema is in `models/responseModel.js`
    
    // GET route to handle search queries
    router.get('/search', async (req, res) => {
        try {
            // 1. Capture the search query from the request query parameters.
            const searchQuery = req.query.q;
    
            // 2. If no search query is provided, return an error response.
            if (!searchQuery) {
                return res.status(400).json({ error: "Search query is required." });
            }
    
            // 3. Search the 'responses' collection for matching documents.
            // This example uses a case-insensitive partial match on the 'name', 'email', or 'message' fields.
            const searchResults = await Response.find({
                $or: [
                    { name: { $regex: searchQuery, $options: 'i' } },
                    { email: { $regex: searchQuery, $options: 'i' } },
                    { message: { $regex: searchQuery, $options: 'i' } }
                ]
            });
    
            // 4. Return the search results.
            res.status(200).json(searchResults);
    
        } catch (error) {
            // 5. Handle any errors.
            res.status(500).json({ error: "Server error. Please try again later." });
        }
    });
    
    module.exports = router;
