mongoose-orchestrator

Keep your references to attributes synchronized.

npm version Build Status Dependency Status devDependency Status


This project is continuously tested on Node 0.12 and Node 4.0. Compatible with Mongoose 3.8 and above.

Install

$ npm install mongoose-orchestrator

Use

const mongoose = require('mongoose');
const ObjectId = mongoose.Schema.Types.ObjectId;


const UserSchema = mongoose.Schema({

  name: { type: String, required: true },

  country: { type: ObjectId, ref: 'Country' },
  countryName: { type: String, ref: 'Country.name', sync: true }
});

UserSchema.plugin(require('mongoose-orchestrator'));

Use the key sync: true on your schema, that's the way mongoose-orchestrator will look for attributes that needs to be synchronized.

Have an attribute with a lowercased version of the model name.

The ref key on the attributes object means the attribute to lookup, using the following nomenclature: <<MODEL_NAME>>.<<ATTRIBUTE_NAME>>. For example, Country.name means the attribute name in the Country model.

Require the mongoose-orchestrator plugin for the schema.

Specifying a source

The source keyword is the attribute of the instance where the reference will be stored. As default, is a lowercased version of the reference model.

You can create a schema as the following:

mongoose.Schema({

  name: { type: String, required: true },

  country: {
    id: { type: ObjectId, ref: 'Country' },
    name: { type: String, ref: 'Country.name', sync: true, source: 'country.id' }
  }

});

Default: modelName.toLowerCase();

Transformations

Set a transformation for the referenced attribute. This function will be applied to the value before persisting it.

mongoose.Schema({

  name: { type: String, required: true },

  country: {
    id: {
      type: ObjectId,
      ref: 'Country'
    },
    name: {
      type: String,
      ref: 'Country.name',
      sync: true,
      source: 'country.id'
    },
    nameInitial: {
      type: String,
      ref: 'Country.name',
      sync: true,

      // Set the transformation function.
      transformation: function(value) {
        return (value.length) ? value[0] : '';
      }
    }
  }

});

Default: function (value) { return value; }.

Example

const mongoose = require('mongoose');
const mongooseOrchestrator = require('mongoose-orchestrator');
const ObjectId = mongoose.Schema.Types.ObjectId;

// Create and register the `Season` model.

const SeasonSchema = new mongoose.Schema({

  name: {type: String, required: true}

});

mongoose.model('Season', SeasonSchema);


// Create and register the `Episode` model.

const EpisodeSchema = new mongoose.Schema({

  name: {type: String, required: true},

  season: {type: ObjectId, ref: 'Season'},
  seasonName: {type: String, ref: 'Season.name', sync: true}

});

EpisodeSchema.plugin(mongooseOrchestrator);

mongoose.model('Episode', EpisodeSchema);
