Problem with filter from backend

Hi,

I have a dataset, and i want to filter it.
I made a function in my backend, and imported it to my page.

Now some wierd thing is happening.

this is the code.

Code on the page.

 try {
  $w("#dataset1").onReady(async ()=> {
     const filter = await filterDataset(event.target.value) // function in the backend
     const filter2 = wixData.filter().eq(event.target.value,true) // without a function
            console.log("filter: ",filter)
            console.log("filter2: ",filter2)

         $w("#dataset1").setFilter(filter) // applying the filter.
        })

    } catch (err) {
        console.error(err)
    }

Code in the backend

export function filterDataset(value) {
     let filter = wixData.filter()
     try {
        filter = filter.eq(value,true)
        return filter

    } catch (err) {
        console.error(err)
    }
}

Now when i log them in my console, evrything is fine

Both filters show the exact same log value.
But when i use it in the dataset.setFilter() the function from the backend gives an error the other does not.

$w("#dataset1").setFilter(filter)

Gives this error:

$w("#dataset1").setFilter(filter2)

Doesn’t give any error.

When adding the code in Public folder it also works.

I guess its becous its from the backend folder
But when it logs the right results i don’t understand why it doesn’t works when using it.

Kind regards,
Kristof.

Perhaps adding some await can solve it, but not sure.

export async function filterDataset(value) {
 let filter = await wixData.filter()
 try {
        filter = await filter.eq(value,true)
        return filter

    } catch (err) {
        console.error(err)
    }
}

Hi Russian,

That ain’t the problem.
First of all i’m just adding a filter as a variable that i then return.
Second,
The log works fine, wich means it returns without a problem.

Kind regards,

Kristof.
