[annotator-dev] How to query annotations created by current user only

Tue Nov 25 05:46:08 UTC 2014

Hi Rick,

This is how I do something similar:

a.annotator('addPlugin', 'Store', {
  prefix: 'http://annotateit.org/api',
  annotationData: {
    'project': PROJECTNAME,
    'version': VERSION,
    'uri': URI,
    'siteuid': SITE_UNIQUE_ID,
    'pageuid': PAGE_UNIQUE_ID
  },
  loadFromSearch: {
    'pageuid': PAGE_UNIQUE_ID.toLowerCase(),
    'limit': 1000
  }
});

(

)

I am adding custom data, and searching based on that.

In your case, I imagine this should work:

a.annotator('addPlugin', 'Store', {
  prefix: 'http://annotateit.org/api',
  annotationData: {
    "docId":that.data._id,
    "userId":Meteor.userId()
  },
  loadFromSearch: {
    'userId': Meteor.userId(),
    'limit': 1000
  }
});

Assuming your store endpoint has a search api working.

Best,

Bird
