How to do a search for hardware ticket by ticket number?

[perlDreamer]

In the db, the id an integer. In the JS object, it's a vNumber. Also, you can't filter by id because it's not filterable in the baseSchema.

Note, I fixed the jump to ticket by ticket number using a custom route, so this ticket is about understanding how to do this.

Fixed.

For your specific use case there's a few things to note:

First, you'll need to upgrade to the latest ving, which includes updating your schemas per the notes in the change log.

Second, you'll need to add allowRealPubicId to the id field like: { ...baseSchemaId, filterQuery: true, allowRealPubicId: true },

Third, you no longer need to expose ticketNumber via meta manually as that is done automatically once you set allowRealPubicId to true. It does this by adding a realId property to meta and in there you'll get id. So to access it you'd be doing hardwareticket.meta.realId.id instead of hardwareticket.meta.ticketNumber. This mechanism allows you to expose lots of different id's as real numbers in case that's important, though obviously that isn't important in this case. Just trying to future proof.

You also don't need a custom route anymore. Once you set up allowRealPubicId you'll be able to use the built in filtering mechanism by just adding search=4 or whatever to your URL.

Oops. I suppose I shouldn't have closed this since you haven't implemented it yet
