Hello.
I am using Mongodb nodejs driver in my NextJS application. I have enable the stable API and used the options mentioned in the docs (strict: true specifically).
const client = new MongoClient(uri,
{
serverApi: {
version: ServerApiVersion.v1,
strict: true,
deprecationErrors: true,
}
});
Reading through the docs here, I see that if strict is set to true:
if you call a command that is not part of the declared API version, the driver raises an exception.
I am using $search pipeline in a query that I have:
const client = await clientPromise;
const db = client.db("dbName");
const collection = db.collection("collName");
const pipeline = [
{
$search: {
index: "search index name that I created on atlas",
text: {
query: "query text",
path: {
wildcard: "*",
},
fuzzy: {},
},
},
},
{
$limit: ITEMS_PER_PAGE,
},
{
$skip: offset,
},
{
$project: {
score: { $meta: "searchScore" },
},
},
{
$sort: {
score: -1,
createdAt: -1,
},
},
];
const result = await collection.aggregate(pipeline)
It appears that $search is not allowed in api version 1. So, I get this error: Database Error: MongoServerError: $search is not allowed with 'apiStrict: true' in API Version 1. Now if I set strict to false (which is the default), I do not get this error. but I am not sure if that is the right thing to do. The driver is not raising the exception anymore, but the $search command is still not part of the API Version 1. Right? I am a little confused based on what I quoted above. Do I need to do my search differently?
