Modifying filters to case insensitive

[mtjvankuik]

I want to make the filters in the worklist case insensitive instead of case sensitive. My assumption was that there are three choices.

1. modify comparison server variable and filter variable.
2. capitalize input filter.
3. uncapitalize server variable.

I chose for 2. However, I get a server error after adding the toUpperCase() method.

`/**

• Transforms an input string into a search filter for

• the Worklist Search call
  *

• @param filter The input string to be searched for

• @returns {*}
  */
  function getFilter(filter) {

  if (filter && filter.length && filter.substr(filter.length - 1) !== '*') {
  filter += ' * ' ;
  }

  return filter.toUpperCase();
  }`

server log: Router.route('/', function () { this.render('Home', { data: function () { return Items.findOne({_id: this.params._id}); } }); });

Issue solved.

function getFilter(filter) {
if (filter && filter.length && filter.substr(filter.length - 1) !== '*') {
filter += ' * ' ;
filter = filter.toUpperCase();
}
return filter;
}
