MongoDB Node JS escaping single quote problems

manpreet Best Answer 2 years ago

In my Node js, I have escaped single quote with the below function

var regescape = function(text) {
return text.replace(/[\[\]']+/g, "\\$&"); 
};

This is working fine for me. But suddenly I discovered I have a string M'$ in my database. Which is not returning with my below query.

param 1 = "M'$";

var cursor = db.collection('search').find({"searchcontent.name":new RegExp('^'+regescape(param1))}).limit(10);

Also Please suggest the best practice for handling Node JS parameter pass to MongoDB. I am calling NodeJS from PHP code. And I am sending parameters with rawurlencode() from PHP code. In node js I'm using decodeURI() to the received parameters.

Edit:

My PHP code for calling Node JS:

function getdetail($data1) {
    $p1 = $data1;
    $service_url = 'http://exampleserver:8081/search?param1='.$p1;
    $curl = curl_init($service_url);
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
    $curl_response = curl_exec($curl);
        if ($curl_response === false) {
        $info = curl_getinfo($curl);
        curl_close($curl);
        die('error occured.Please try later');
        }
    curl_close($curl);
    $decoded = json_decode($curl_response, true);
    if (isset($decoded->response->status) && $decoded->response->status == 'ERROR') {
        die('error occured.Please try later');
    }
    return $decoded;

}

Node JS code to receive data:

app.get('/search', function (req, res) {
    var param1=decodeURI(req.query.param1);
    MongoClient.connect(url, function(err, db) {
     assert.equal(null, err);
     search(param1,db, function(data){ db.close(); res.end
