I have a collection of articles in mongodb. I choose an article that i want to render, and I want two other articles chosen randomly. I want to pick two articles in my collection that are not the same, and are not the article I have chosen before. Been on this problem for hours, search for a solution but only found how to pick an element randomly, but not except one...
Here is what I have now :
article.find({}, function(err, articles{
var articleChosen = articles.filter(selectArticleUrl, articleUrl)[0];
article.find({})
.lean()
.distinct("_id")
.exec(function(err, arrayIds){
var articleChosenIndex = arrayIds.indexOf(articleChosen._id);
arrayIds.splice(articleChosenIndex, 1);
chooseRdmArticle(arrayIds, function(articleRdm1Id){
var articleRmd1 = articles.filter(selectArticleId, articleRdm1Id)[0];
var articleRdm1Index = arrayIds.indexOf(articleRdm1Id);
arrayIds.splice(articleRdm1Index, 1);
chooseRdmArticle(arrayIds, function(articleRdm2Id){
var articleRmd2 = articles.filter(selectArticleId, articleRdm2Id)[0];
// do stuff with articleChosen, articleRmd1 and articleRmd2
})
})
})
})
where the function which choose rdm article is :
function chooseRdmArticle(articles, callback){
var min = Math.ceil(0);
var max = Math.floor(articles.length);
var rdm = Math.floor(Math.random() * (max - min)) + min;
callback(articles[rdm])
}
and the function which select the article from its url is :
function selectArticleUrl(element){
return element.url == this
}
My idea was to work on the array containing all the ObjectId (arrayIds
here), to choose two Ids randomly after removing the articleChosen
id. But I understood that arrayIds.indexOf(articleRdm1Id);
couldn't work because ObjectIds are not strings ... Is there a method to find the index of the Id I want? Or any better idea ?
Thanks a lot !
