# Mongoose
|
||
|
|
||
|
Mongoose is a [MongoDB](https://www.mongodb.org/) object modeling tool designed to work in an asynchronous environment. Mongoose supports [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/) and [Deno](https://deno.land/) (alpha).

|
## Installation
|
||
|
|
||
|
First install [Node.js](http://nodejs.org/) and [MongoDB](https://www.mongodb.org/downloads). Then:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```sh
|
||
|
npm install mongoose
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
Mongoose 6.8.0 also includes alpha support for [Deno](https://deno.land/).
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Importing
|
||
|
|
||
|
```javascript
|
||
|
// Using Node.js `require()`
|
||
|
const mongoose = require('mongoose');
|
||
|
|
||
|
// Using ES6 imports
|
||
|
import mongoose from 'mongoose';
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
Or, using [Deno's `createRequire()` for CommonJS support](https://deno.land/std@0.113.0/node/README.md?source=#commonjs-modules-loading) as follows.
|
||
|
|
||
|
```javascript
|
||
|
import { createRequire } from 'https://deno.land/std@0.177.0/node/module.ts';
|
||
|
const require = createRequire(import.meta.url);
|
||
|
|
||
|
const mongoose = require('mongoose');
|
||
|
|
||
|
mongoose.connect('mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/test')
|
||
|
.then(() => console.log('Connected!'));
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
You can then run the above script using the following.
|
||
|
|
||
|
```sh
|
||
|
deno run --allow-net --allow-read --allow-sys --allow-env mongoose-test.js
|
||
|
```

|
||
|
|
||
|
## Overview
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Connecting to MongoDB
|
||
|
|
||
|
First, we need to define a connection. If your app uses only one database, you should use `mongoose.connect`. If you need to create additional connections, use `mongoose.createConnection`.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Both `connect` and `createConnection` take a `mongodb://` URI, or the parameters `host, database, port, options`.
|
||
|
|
||
|
```js
|
||
|
await mongoose.connect('mongodb://127.0.0.1/my_database');
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
Once connected, the `open` event is fired on the `Connection` instance. If you're using `mongoose.connect`, the `Connection` is `mongoose.connection`. Otherwise, `mongoose.createConnection` return value is a `Connection`.
|
||
|
|
||
|
**Note:** *If the local connection fails then try using 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost. Sometimes issues may arise when the local hostname has been changed.*
|
||
|
|
||
|
**Important!** Mongoose buffers all the commands until it's connected to the database. This means that you don't have to wait until it connects to MongoDB in order to define models, run queries, etc.
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Defining a Model
|
||
|
|
||
|
Models are defined through the `Schema` interface.
|
||
|
|
||
|
```js
|
||
|
const Schema = mongoose.Schema;
|
||
|
const ObjectId = Schema.ObjectId;
|
||
|
|
||
|
const BlogPost = new Schema({
|
||
|
author: ObjectId,
|
||
|
title: String,
|
||
|
body: String,
|
||
|
date: Date
|
||
|
});
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
Aside from defining the structure of your documents and the types of data you're storing, a Schema handles the definition of:
|
||
|
|
||
|
* [Validators](http://mongoosejs.com/docs/validation.html) (async and sync)
|
||
|
* [Defaults](http://mongoosejs.com/docs/api/schematype.html#schematype_SchemaType-default)
|
||
|
* [Getters](http://mongoosejs.com/docs/api/schematype.html#schematype_SchemaType-get)
|
||
|
* [Setters](http://mongoosejs.com/docs/api/schematype.html#schematype_SchemaType-set)
|
||
|
* [Indexes](http://mongoosejs.com/docs/guide.html#indexes)
|
||
|
* [Middleware](http://mongoosejs.com/docs/middleware.html)
|
||
|
* [Methods](http://mongoosejs.com/docs/guide.html#methods) definition
|
||
|
* [Statics](http://mongoosejs.com/docs/guide.html#statics) definition
|
||
|
* [Plugins](http://mongoosejs.com/docs/plugins.html)
|
||
|
* [pseudo-JOINs](http://mongoosejs.com/docs/populate.html)
|
||
|
|
||
|
The following example shows some of these features:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```js
|
||
|
const Comment = new Schema({
|
||
|
name: { type: String, default: 'hahaha' },
|
||
|
age: { type: Number, min: 18, index: true },
|
||
|
bio: { type: String, match: /[a-z]/ },
|
||
|
date: { type: Date, default: Date.now },
|
||
|
buff: Buffer
|
||
|
});
|
||
|
|
||
|
// a setter
|
||
|
Comment.path('name').set(function(v) {
|
||
|
return capitalize(v);
|
||
|
});
|
||
|
|
||
|
// middleware
|
||
|
Comment.pre('save', function(next) {
|
||
|
notify(this.get('email'));
|
||
|
next();
|
||
|
});
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
Take a look at the example in [`examples/schema/schema.js`](https://github.com/Automattic/mongoose/blob/master/examples/schema/schema.js) for an end-to-end example of a typical setup.
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Accessing a Model
|
||
|
|
||
|
Once we define a model through `mongoose.model('ModelName', mySchema)`, we can access it through the same function
|
||
|
|
||
|
```js
|
||
|
const MyModel = mongoose.model('ModelName');
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
Or just do it all at once
|
||
|
|
||
|
```js
|
||
|
const MyModel = mongoose.model('ModelName', mySchema);
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
The first argument is the *singular* name of the collection your model is for. **Mongoose automatically looks for the *plural* version of your model name.** For example, if you use
|
||
|
|
||
|
```js
|
||
|
const MyModel = mongoose.model('Ticket', mySchema);
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
Then `MyModel` will use the **tickets** collection, not the **ticket** collection. For more details read the [model docs](https://mongoosejs.com/docs/api/mongoose.html#mongoose_Mongoose-model).
|
||
|
|
||
|
Once we have our model, we can then instantiate it, and save it:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```js
|
||
|
const instance = new MyModel();
|
||
|
instance.my.key = 'hello';
|
||
|
await instance.save();
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
Or we can find documents from the same collection
|
||
|
|
||
|
```js
|
||
|
await MyModel.find({});
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
You can also `findOne`, `findById`, `update`, etc.
|
||
|
|
||
|
```js
|
||
|
const instance = await MyModel.findOne({ /* ... */ });
|
||
|
console.log(instance.my.key); // 'hello'
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
For more details check out [the docs](http://mongoosejs.com/docs/queries.html).
|
||
|
|
||
|
**Important!** If you opened a separate connection using `mongoose.createConnection()` but attempt to access the model through `mongoose.model('ModelName')` it will not work as expected since it is not hooked up to an active db connection. In this case access your model through the connection you created:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```js
|
||
|
const conn = mongoose.createConnection('your connection string');
|
||
|
const MyModel = conn.model('ModelName', schema);
|
||
|
const m = new MyModel();
|
||
|
await m.save(); // works
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
vs
|
||
|
|
||
|
```js
|
||
|
const conn = mongoose.createConnection('your connection string');
|
||
|
const MyModel = mongoose.model('ModelName', schema);
|
||
|
const m = new MyModel();
|
||
|
await m.save(); // does not work b/c the default connection object was never connected
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Embedded Documents
|
||
|
|
||
|
In the first example snippet, we defined a key in the Schema that looks like:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```txt
|
||
|
comments: [Comment]
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
Where `Comment` is a `Schema` we created. This means that creating embedded documents is as simple as:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```js
|
||
|
// retrieve my model
|
||
|
const BlogPost = mongoose.model('BlogPost');
|
||
|
|
||
|
// create a blog post
|
||
|
const post = new BlogPost();
|
||
|
|
||
|
// create a comment
|
||
|
post.comments.push({ title: 'My comment' });
|
||
|
|
||
|
await post.save();
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
The same goes for removing them:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```js
|
||
|
const post = await BlogPost.findById(myId);
|
||
|
post.comments[0].deleteOne();
|
||
|
await post.save();
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
Embedded documents enjoy all the same features as your models. Defaults, validators, middleware.
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Middleware
|
||
|
|
||
|
See the [docs](http://mongoosejs.com/docs/middleware.html) page.
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### Intercepting and mutating method arguments
|
||
|
|
||
|
You can intercept method arguments via middleware.
|
||
|
|
||
|
For example, this would allow you to broadcast changes about your Documents every time someone `set`s a path in your Document to a new value:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```js
|
||
|
schema.pre('set', function(next, path, val, typel) {
|
||
|
// `this` is the current Document
|
||
|
this.emit('set', path, val);
|
||
|
|
||
|
// Pass control to the next pre
|
||
|
next();
|
||
|
});
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
Moreover, you can mutate the incoming `method` arguments so that subsequent middleware see different values for those arguments. To do so, just pass the new values to `next`:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```js
|
||
|
schema.pre(method, function firstPre(next, methodArg1, methodArg2) {
|
||
|
// Mutate methodArg1
|
||
|
next('altered-' + methodArg1.toString(), methodArg2);
|
||
|
});
|
||
|
|
||
|
// pre declaration is chainable
|
||
|
schema.pre(method, function secondPre(next, methodArg1, methodArg2) {
|
||
|
console.log(methodArg1);
|
||
|
// => 'altered-originalValOfMethodArg1'
|
||
|
|
||
|
console.log(methodArg2);
|
||
|
// => 'originalValOfMethodArg2'
|
||
|
|
||
|
// Passing no arguments to `next` automatically passes along the current argument values
|
||
|
// i.e., the following `next()` is equivalent to `next(methodArg1, methodArg2)`
|
||
|
// and also equivalent to, with the example method arg
|
||
|
// values, `next('altered-originalValOfMethodArg1', 'originalValOfMethodArg2')`
|
||
|
next();
|
||
|
});
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### Schema gotcha
|
||
|
|
||
|
`type`, when used in a schema has special meaning within Mongoose. If your schema requires using `type` as a nested property you must use object notation:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```js
|
||
|
new Schema({
|
||
|
broken: { type: Boolean },
|
||
|
asset: {
|
||
|
name: String,
|
||
|
type: String // uh oh, it broke. asset will be interpreted as String
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
});
|
||
|
|
||
|
new Schema({
|
||
|
works: { type: Boolean },
|
||
|
asset: {
|
||
|
name: String,
|
||
|
type: { type: String } // works. asset is an object with a type property
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
});
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Driver Access
|
||
|
|
||
|
Mongoose is built on top of the [official MongoDB Node.js driver](https://github.com/mongodb/node-mongodb-native). Each mongoose model keeps a reference to a [native MongoDB driver collection](http://mongodb.github.io/node-mongodb-native/2.1/api/Collection.html). The collection object can be accessed using `YourModel.collection`. However, using the collection object directly bypasses all mongoose features, including hooks, validation, etc. The one
|
||
|
notable exception that `YourModel.collection` still buffers
|
||
|
commands. As such, `YourModel.collection.find()` will **not**
|
||
|
return a cursor.
