mongoose-embedded-document
A Mongoose plugin to provide support for embedding single documents.
Usage
npm install mongoose-embedded-document
var embeddedDoc = require 'mongoose-embedded-document
embeddedSchema = new mongoose.Schema name: String
Embedded = mongoose.model('Embedded', embeddedSchema)
schema = new mongoose.Schema deep: {}
schema.plugin embeddedDoc, path: 'embedded', ref: 'Embedded', required: true
schema.plugin embeddedDoc, path: 'deep.embedded', ref: 'Embedded'
Parent = mongoose.model('Parent', schema)
parent = new Parent embedded: new Embedded(name: 'My Name')
parent.deep.embedded = new Embedded(name: 'My Deep Name')
console.log parent.embedded.name # Logs 'My Name'
console.log parent.deep.embedded.name # Logs 'My Deep Name'Known Issues
This plugin uses Schema.Types.Mixed for the type of the embedded document. This means that the parent schema does not
know the types of the attributes of the embedded document. This can be an issue when you are used to relying on
Mongoose's type casting in queries for attributes of type ObjectId and Date in particular.
