Now we are using mongodb ^4.x.x
version of the driver (upgraded from v3)
Closing (or not) connections after ending execution
To close connections, it is optional to define the environment variable CLOSE_MONGODB_CONNECTIONS
.
The possible scenarios are:
Value of env | Close connection |
---|---|
undefined (no value set) |
✅ |
1 , 'true' , etc (any value set) |
✅ |
'false' or false |
❌ |
Connection will be closed by emitting a janiscommerce.ended
event. The event will be emitted in the end of janiscommerce
functions.
For more information see @janiscommerce/events.
Whenever the Model
type is mentioned in this document, it refers to an instance of @janiscommerce/model.
This is used to configure which collection should be used, which unique indexes it has, among other stuff.

Array<String>
: Since 2.7.0. Specific fields to be returned in the query for every document. This feature uses MongoDB projections. See more: https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/tutorial/project-fields-from-query-results/ - excludeFields
Array<String>
: Since 2.7.0. Specific fields to exclude in the query for every document. Available whenfields
was not received. This feature also uses MongoDB projections.
Parameters example:
{
limit: 1000, // Default 500 from config
page: 2,
order: {
itemField: 'asc'
},
filters: {
itemField: 'foobar',
otherItemField: {
'value': ['foo', 'bar'],
'type' : 'in'
}
},
fields: ['itemField', 'otherItemField']
}
The filters have a simpler structure than raw mongo filters, in order to simplify it's usage.
Filter types
The filter types can be defined in the model static getter fields
like this:
class MyModel extends Model {
static get fields() {
return {
myField: {
type: 'greaterOrEqual'
}
}
}
}
It can also be overriden in each query like this:
mongodb.get(myModel, {
filters: {
myField: {
type: 'lesserOrEqual',
value: 10
}
}
});
The mapper option for a field can take three forms:
mongodb.get(myModel, {
filters: {
myField: {
type: 'lesserOrEqual',
mapper: 'toDate'
}
}
});
Declare a function: The value will pass through this function as a custom mapper.
string: It will attempt to access existing mappers within the package.
false
: This disables any default mapper the field may have.
For specific fields like dateCreated, dateCreatedFrom, dateCreatedTo, dateModified, dateModifiedFrom, and dateModifiedTo, it's important to note that they pass through the default mapper toDate by default.
In all cases, if the mapper does not conform to these specifications, an error will be raised.
The following table shows all the supported filter types, and it's equivalence:
Type | Mongo equivalence |
---|---|
equal | $eq |
notEqual | $ne |
greater | $gt |
greaterOrEqual | $gte |
lesser | $lt |
lesserOrEqual | $lte |
in | $in |
notIn | $nin |
search | $regex |
all | $all |
exists | $exists |
text | $text |
elemMatch | $elemMatch |
nearSphere | $nearSphere |
geoIntersects | $geoIntersects |
If the type isn't defined in the model nor in the query, it defaults to equal
for single valued filters or in
for multivalued filter.
You can also pass an unsupported mongodb type
(it must start with the $
character, for example: $mod
).
Internal field names
The name of a filter and the field that it will match can differ. To achieve that, you must declare it in the model static getter fields
:
class MyModel extends Model {
static get fields() {
return {
externalFieldName: {
field: 'internalFieldName'
}
}
}
}
Mongo ObjectIds
The fields of type ObjectId
can be defined in the model this way:
class MyModel extends Model {
static get fields() {
return {
someIdField: {
isID: true
}
}
}
}
The package will handle the string
to ObjectId
conversion automatically for you. The id
field is also automatically mapped to _id
and converted to an ObjectId
It also maps _id
field to id
when retrieving documents.
Example
Putting it all together, here's a complete example with all possible configurations:
class MyModel extends Model {
static get fields() {
return {
otherIdField: {
isID: true
},
greaterField: {
type: 'greaterOrEqual'
},
overridenField: {
type: 'search'
},
externalFieldName: {
field: 'internalFieldName'
}
}
}
}
mongodb.get(myModel, {
filters: {
id: '5df0151dbc1d570011949d86',
otherIdField: ['5df0151dbc1d570011949d87', '5df0151dbc1d570011949d88'],
greaterField: 15,
overridenField: {
type: 'exists',
value: true
},
externalFieldName: true,
someOtherField: ['foo', 'bar']
}
});
// This is converted to the following mongo filter:
{
id: {
$eq: ObjectId('5df0151dbc1d570011949d86') // Automatically converted to ObjectId, default $eq type
},
otherIdField: {
$in: [ObjectId('5df0151dbc1d570011949d87'), ObjectId('5df0151dbc1d570011949d88')] // Converted to ObjectId by model, default $in type
},
greaterField: {
$gte: 15 // $gte type defined by model
},
overridenField: {
$exists: true // $exists type overriden by query
},
internalFieldName: {
$eq: true // Field name defined by model, default $eq type
},
someOtherField: {
$in: ['foo', 'bar'] // Default $in type
}
}
If you want to filter by fields inside objects, you can use nested filters. For example:
{
/* Sample document to match
{
_id: ObjectID('5df0151dbc1d570011949d86'),
someField: {
foo: 'bar'
}
}
*/
mongodb.get(myModel, {
filters: {
'someField.foo': 'bar'
}
});
Usage:
await mongo.get(model, {})
// > [ ... ] // Every document in the collection, up to 500 documents.
// finding documents with a specific filter
await mongo.get(model, { filters: { id: 1 } })
// > [{ id: 1, name: 'foobar' }]
// finding the page 2 of elements with value "foo" with a page size of 10 elements.
await mongo.get(model, { limit: 10, page: 2 filters: { name: 'foo' } })
// > [ ... ] // The second page of 10 documents matching name equals to 'foo'.
// finding all entries ordered descendently by id
await mongo.get(model, { order: { id: 'desc' } });
// > [ ... ] // Every document in the collection, ordered by descending id, up to 500 documents.
Searches all documents from a collection that matches with filters
This method uses cursors with Asynchronous Iteration.
Find and accumulates documents in batch using parameters.limit
or default value (500), for each batch calls the callback received.
Returns the total
documents quantity, the batchSize
used and the number pages
found.
- model:

: A model instance - parameters:
Object
: The query parameters. Use{}
when no special parameter needed. This parameters are the same defined inget()
method - callback:
function
: A function to be executed for each page. Receives three arguments: the items found for the page, the current page number and the batch size used.
- response:
Object
- total:
Integer
: The documents total quantity. - batchSize:
Integer
: The batch size used infind()
query operations. - pages:

: The totals pages found.
- total:
const { total, batchSize, pages } = await myModel.getPaged(model, { filters: { status: 'active' } }, (items, page, limit) => {
// do some stuff with the "page" items
});
Gets information about the quantity of documents matched by filters if present or the last call to the `get()` method.

When something bad occurs
Return example:
{
total: 140,
pageSize: 60,
pages: 3,
page: 1
}
If the last query response was empty, it will just return the total
and pages
properties with a value of zero.
Since 3.2.0:
- Added filter to params. If no filter param is present it will use last query filters. If no query was executed before, it will return the totals of the whole collection without filters.
Since 2.5.8:
- If no query was executed before, it will return the totals of the whole collection without filters.
Usage:
// getTotals
result = await mongo.getTotals(model);
// > { page: 1, limit: 500, pages: 1, total: 4 }
// with filter
result = await mongo.getTotals(model, { name: 'foo' });
