Finding records for last X days only can be done in mongo Shell Mode with
db.some_collection.find({"some_date":{$gte: (newDate((newDate()).getTime() - (X * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000)))}})
My question: is there a strict JSON equivalent to this command or not?
I would much rather have this be false but it seems like there is no way to do a strict JSON search for datetime in mongo. You might want to store time as a string (unix timestamp) and then search for it like a string or use non JSON query with date object
