Refines a query or filter to match items whose specified property value starts with a specified string.
The startsWith()
function refines a WixDataQuery
or WixDataFilter
to
only match items where the value of the specified property starts with the
defined string
. Matching with startsWith()
is not case sensitive, so "TEXT"
starts
with "tex"
.
You can only use startsWith()
with a property whose value is a String or Reference.
When using a Reference, startsWith()
matches by the ID of the referenced item as Strings.
function startsWith(propertyName: string, string: string): WixDataQuery;
The property whose value will be compared with the string.
The string to look for at the beginning of the specified property value.
let newQuery = query.startsWith("last_name", "M");
