Collect.js - Interview Questions
What is the where() method in Collect.js?
where() : The where() method filters the collection by a given key / value pair:
const collection = collect([
  { product: 'Desk', price: 200, discounted: true },
  { product: 'Chair', price: 100, discounted: true },
  { product: 'Bookcase', price: 150, discounted: true },
  { product: 'Door', price: 100 },
]);

const filtered = collection.where('price', 100);

filtered.all();

// [
//   { product: 'Chair', price: 100 },
//   { product: 'Door', price: 100 },
// ]

const discounted = collection.where('discounted');

discounted.all();

// [
//  { product: 'Desk', price: 200, discounted: true },
//  { product: 'Chair', price: 100, discounted: true },
//  { product: 'Bookcase', price: 150, discounted: true },
// ]

const notDiscounted = collection.where('discounted', false);

discounted.all();

// [
//  { product: 'Door', price: 100 },
// ]
When working with nested objects where() method allows dot notated keys. E.g. where('product.category', 'office-supplies') The where method also allows for custom comparisons:
 
Non-identity / strict inequality (!==) : 
const filtered = collection.where('price', '!==', 100);

filtered.all();

// [
//   { product: 'Desk', price: 200 },
//   { product: 'Bookcase', price: 150 },
// ]

Less than operator (<) : 
const filtered = collection.where('price', '<', 100);

filtered.all();

// []

Less than or equal operator (<=) : 
const filtered = collection.where('price', '<=', 100);

filtered.all();

// [
//   { product: 'Chair', price: 100 },
//   { product: 'Door', price: 100 },
// ]

Greater than operator (>) : 
const filtered = collection.where('price', '>', 100);

filtered.all();

// [
//   { product: 'Desk', price: 200} ,
//   { product: 'Bookcase', price: 150 },
// ]

Greater than or equal operator (>=) : 
const filtered = collection.where('price', '>=', 150);

filtered.all();

// [
//   { product: 'Desk', price: 200} ,
//   { product: 'Bookcase', price: 150 },
// ]
