mongoose-closures - Plugin support for transactional closures in Mongoose

Overview

Mongoose-Closures is an extension for Mongoose that implements a concept of a transactional closure using the Mongoose ORM.

Although Mongoose (and MongoDB) do not support transactions at a semantic or operational level a pseudo transaction can be managed at the ORM level that allows multiple operations to be performed within a closure, around which transactional semantics can be applied.

Installation

npm install mongoose-closures

Setup

To install all of the types, plugins, patches and utilities provided by the extension into a Mongoose instance:

var mongoose = require("mongoose");
   
// Create a connection to your database
var db = mongoose.createConnection("mongodb://localhost/sampledb");

// Access the mongoose-closures module and install everything
var closures = require("mongoose-closures");
var utils = closures.utils

// Install the types, plugins and monkey patches
var loaded = closures.install(mongoose);

The loaded value returned contains 2 properties:

• loaded.types : the join types that were loaded
• loaded.plugins : the extension plugins that were loaded

To just install the types provided by the extension (either all types or a list of named types):

var mongoose = require("mongoose");

// Create a connection to your database
var db = mongoose.createConnection("mongodb://localhost/sampledb");

// Access the mongoose-closures module
var closures = require("mongoose-closures");
var utils = closures.utils

// Install the plugins
var loaded = closures.loadTypes(mongoose);

The loaded value returned contains the types that were loaded, keyed by the name of each type loaded.

To just install the plugins provided by the extension (either all plugins or list of named plugins):

var mongoose = require("mongoose");
   
// Create a connection to your database
var db = mongoose.createConnection("mongodb://localhost/sampledb");

// Access the mongoose-closures module
var closures = require("mongoose-closures");
var utils = closures.utils

// Install the plugins
var loaded = closures.installPlugins(mongoose);

The loaded value returned contains the plugins that were loaded, keyed by the name of each plugin loaded.

To just install the patches provided by the extension (either all patches or list of named patches):

var mongoose = require("mongoose");
   
// Create a connection to your database
var db = mongoose.createConnection("mongodb://localhost/sampledb");

// Access the mongoose-closures module and the utilities
var closures = require("mongoose-closures");
var utils = closures.utils;

// Install the monkey patches
closures.installPatches(mongoose);
