Python Eve contains filter
eve, flask, python, rest
Solution
You could use mongodb `$regex` operator, which is blacklisted by default in Eve (`MONGO_QUERY_BLACKLIST = ['$where', '$regex']`).
Add `MONGO_QUERY_BLACKLIST = ['$where']` to your `settings.py`. Then you can query your API like this:
`?where={"name": {"$regex": ".*foo.*"}}`.
Be careful however. If you don't control the client, enabling regexes could potentially increase your API vulnerability.
Problem
There's some way to return items that field contains some value? Eg. `GET /people?contains="foo"` Return all persons that have the word 'foo' in the name. Thanks in advance
