Overview

Note:

Parse currently has a bug that if you select items near a location and want to make sure a different column has a value, you need to search where the column does not contanin a null/undefined value. Therefore we override the build method to change the operation to a NotEqualConstraint.

Provides a mechanism using the equality operator to check for (undefined) values. Nullabiliity constraint maps the $exists Parse clause to enable checking for existance in a column when performing geoqueries due to a Parse limitation. q.where :field.null => false
