# Method name: ne(propertyName: string, value: any)

# Method package: wixData

# Method menu location: wixData --> WixDataFilter --> ne

# Method Link: https://dev.wix.com/docs/velo/apis/wix-data/wix-data-filter/ne.md

# Method Description:

Refines a query or filter to match items whose specified property value does not equal the specified value.

The `ne()` function refines a `WixDataQuery` or `WixDataFilter` to only
 match items where the value of the specified property does not equal the specified `value`.

 It only matches values of the same type. For example, a number value stored
 as a String type is considered not equal to the same number stored as a Number type.

 Matching strings with `ne()` is case sensitive, so `"text"` is not equal to `"Text"`.

 If the value of the `propertyName` property is an Array, `ne()` includes items
 in which none of the elements of the Array match the specified `value`.



# Method Code Examples:

*** Note: do not assume any prop names or enum values other than the ones in the example.

## Add a not equals filter to a query

```javascript
let newQuery = query.ne("status", "active");
```

## Create a query, add a not equals filter, and run it

```javascript
import wixData from 'wix-data';

// ...

wixData.query("myCollection")
  .ne("status", "active")
  .find()
  .then((results) => {
    if(results.items.length > 0) {
      let items = results.items;
      let firstItem = items[0];
      let totalCount = results.totalCount;
      let pageSize = results.pageSize;
      let currentPage = results.currentPage;
      let totalPages = results.totalPages;
      let hasNext = results.hasNext();
      let hasPrev = results.hasPrev();
      let length = results.length;
      let query = results.query;
    } else {
      // handle case where no matching items found
    }
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    let errorMsg = error.message;
    let code = error.code;
  });
```

## Create a query, add a not equals filter, and run it

```javascript
import wixData from 'wix-data';

// ...

wixData.query("myCollection")
  .ne("status", "active")
  .gt("age", 25)
  .ascending("last_name", "first_name")
  .limit(10)
  .find()
  .then((results) => {
    if(results.items.length > 0) {
      let items = results.items;
      let firstItem = items[0];
      let totalCount = results.totalCount;
      let pageSize = results.pageSize;
      let currentPage = results.currentPage;
      let totalPages = results.totalPages;
      let hasNext = results.hasNext();
      let hasPrev = results.hasPrev();
      let length = results.length;
      let query = results.query;
    } else {
      // handle case where no matching items found
    }
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    let errorMsg = error.message;
    let code = error.code;
  });
```
