Mongoose new Model()

[musanek]

I am aware new Mongoose externs are still hot :), but maybe this is a simple fix. I am not able to create a Document out of a model with just calling the constructor. (not using create)

var stuff = new Stuff(); //non persisted doc

Thanks for your work!

After some digging I end up doing

var stuff = StuffManager.build(db,"Stuff");
var s : Stuff = untyped stuff();

Seems to me that the mongoose oop model is somewhat messy.

Yeah, the externs are still hot :)
I've changed the signature of Document::new so that you should be able to do :

var s : Stuff = new Stuff({ foo : "bar" });
s.save(...);

There still seem to be some issues, though (trying to trace(s) for instance)...

The parameters not being optional is not the issue, the issue is that the Document (super) constructor is not being called as it is missing in js.npm.macro.Model. I would put it there myself, but the problem is it does not work anyway, because you have to call the constructor on which moongoose.model() returns, which is Manager.

Yeah, right...
Mongoose's OOP model is broken indeed...
I'll think about a better solution (probably a helper method...)

[clemos]

maybe stuff.construct(?doc) return untyped this(doc)
I hate so much having to do that... :\

[clemos]

or _new...

[musanek]

I vote for construct ;). Thank a lot

[clemos]

construct it is...
I updated it, feel free to close this issue.
Thanks for reporting :)
