Field Criterion

The Field Search Criterion searches for content based on the content of one of its Fields.

Arguments

  • target - string representing the identifier of the Field to query
  • operator - operator constant (IN, EQ, GT, GTE, LT, LTE, LIKE, BETWEEN, CONTAINS)
  • value - the value to query for

The LIKE operator works together with wildcards (*). Without a wildcards its results are the same as for the EQ operator.

The CONTAINS operator works with collection Fields like the Country Field Type, enabling you to retrieve results when the query value is one of the values of the collection. Querying for a collection with the EQ operator will return result only when the whole collection equals the query values.

Example

1
$query->query = new Criterion\Field('name', Criterion\Operator::CONTAINS, 'Platform');

Use case

You can use the Field Criterion to search for articles that contain the word "featured":

$query = new LocationQuery();
$query->query = new Criterion\LogicalAnd([
        new Criterion\ContentTypeIdentifier('article'),
        new Criterion\Field('name', Criterion\Operator::CONTAINS, 'Featured')
    ]
);
