Add option to use raw MongoDB queries in the query string

[macalinao]

Something like this:

/api/user?query={"$and":[{"field":"~value"},{"field":"!=value"}]}

I'd like to be able to write my logic mainly on the client, rather than dealing with finders. Is this a feature you are willing to add?

I am afraid to do this for the security implications... However I have
begun implementing a JS language extension using Sweet.js to allow for
mongoose calls to be made from the client... It would compile a server
side component and client side transparently.

//client code;

var @user = new @mongoose.model('User');
var localVar = 'stuff', user;

$('input[type="name"]').on('click', function(){
//this would be wrapped in a rest call.
@user.findById(localVar).exec(function(e,o){
$('#update').text(user.name);
});
});

Let me know if you have any thoughts.

That sounds really cool, I would be interested in that. (Actually, that's why I want to allow raw queries in the first place)
