How to deploy Smart filter code to Multichain ?

Question

Dear Team,I have read all documentation regarding smart filter. I have read all posts but i am still not able to deploy my code to multichain.

This is my code 

function filterstreamitem() {

    var item = getfilterstreamitem();

 

    if (item.format != "json")

        return "Only JSON items are allowed";

 

    var json = item.data.json;

 

    if ((!json.hasOwnProperty("PersonName")) || (json.PersonName.length < 2))

        return "Item requires a PersonName";

    if ((!json.hasOwnProperty("PersonCnic")) || (json.PersonCnic.length != 2))

        return "Item requires a valid Person Cnic";

 

}

I have tried everything . i am on windows. My command is multichain-cli chain1 create streamfilter  filter1 "{}" 'code'   . I have tried one line with single quotes but my code is not being deployed. Each time getting errors. here is my stream data.

"data" : {
            "json" : {
                "_id" : "5ec77c6308108850902511f2",
                "PersonName" : "Testing prototype",
                "PersonCnic" : "3310062212345",
                "Hash" : "fe540724937edbcbd170d39d7a6ee70e9d429f2d"
            }
        },

 

Simple function. Please tell me exact how to run filter

Your issue is simply with escaping on the Windows command line. You need to use double quotes ("") around parameters to multichain-cli which aren't a single word, and replace any " inside those parameters with \"

So on Windows an example would be:

multichain-cli chain1 create streamfilter  filter1 "{}" "function filterstreamitem() { return \"Reject all items\"; }"
