lt( )

Refines a query to match items where the specified property is less than the specified value.

Description

The le() function refines a PoliciesQueryBuilder to match only items where the value of the specified propertyName is less than the specified value. le() matches only values of the same type. For example, 0 stored as a number doesn't match '0' stored as a string. If a property contains a number stored as a string (for example, '0'), that value is compared alphabetically and not numerically. If a property doesn't have a value, that value is ranked lowest. The following types of properties can be compared:

Number: Compares numerically.
Date: Compares JavaScript Date objects.
String: Compares lexicographically, so 'ABC' is less than 'abc'.
