I try make a mongoose query using a function like this:
/*
* @param {function} Model - Mongoose Model
* @param {String} searchText- Text that will
Use the bracket notation to create the query object dynamically, so you could restructure your function as follows:
function _partialSearch (Model, searchText, key, res) {
var search = new RegExp(searchText, "i"),
query = {};
query[key] = { $regex : search };
Model.find(query)
.exec(function (err, docs) {
if(err) log(err);
else {
res.json(docs);
}
});
}
