sails-hook-mongoindexes

Hook for sails and mongoDB

About

This hook allows us to write indexes for mongoDB

Use

Install

npm install sails-hook-mongoindexes

In config/connections.js

module.exports.connections = {
  somethingMongodbServer:{
    //You need sails-mongo adapter to work
    adapter: 'sails-mongo',
    host: 'localhost',
    port: 27017,
    // user: 'username',
    // password: 'password',
    database: 'test'
  },
  //You can configure multiple databases with the same format
  othermongoDBServer:{}
}

In config/models.js

module.exports.models = {
  connection: 'somethingMongodbServer',
  migrate: 'safe'
};

In models, example User.js

module.exports = {
  //Put names on your fields
  atributes:{
    name: 'string',
    lastName: 'string',
    userName: 'string',
    password: 'string',    
  },
  //And here your indexes for that fields
  index: [
    {
      //Now you can index unique fields
      ind:{userName:1},
      ops: {
        unique: true,
        required: true,
      }
    },
    {
      //Agruop fields
      ind:{name:1, lastName:1},
      ops: {
        unique: true,
        w:1
      }
    },
    {
      //Or simply required
      ind:{password:1},
      ops: {
        required: true,
        w:1
      }
    }
  ]
};

Thats all!
