Mongoose Populate

Mini population hook for Mongoose so you don't need to keep rewriting this.populate and next.

Installation

$ npm install mongoose-populate

CommonJS

const { Schema } = require('mongoose')
const { createPopulateHook } = require('mongoose-populate')

ESM

import { Schema } from 'mongoose'
import { createPopulateHook } from 'mongoose-populate'

Schema

const ExampleSchema = new Schema({
    example: {
        type: Schema.Types.ObjectId,
        ref: 'OtherModel',
    },
})

Hook replacement

- ExampleSchema.pre('find', function populateExampleHook(next) {
-   this.populate('example');
-   next();
- });

+ ExampleSchema.pre('find', createPopulateHook('example'));
