mongoose-load-list

Easy queries with mongoose. Provides two methods .load() and .list() to query collections. Because chaining a lot of methods everywhere is not efficient.

Installation

$ npm install mongoose-load-list

API

var defaults = require('mongoose-load-list');
var Post = new Schema({ ... });
Post.plugin(defaults, {
  select: 'title body user created_at',
  populate: [
    { path: 'user', select: 'user name' }
  ],
  sort: {
    created_at: -1
  },
  lean: true
});

Make sure any statics you write in your model is done via function call and not with assignment. When the statics are assigned, the .load and .list will be overridden.

Post.statics({
  // static methods
})

Options

options.criteria - default criteria
options.sort - default sort
options.select - default fields
options.limit - default limit
options.populate - default populated fields
options.lean - default is false

The default options are always applied on all the .load and .list methods. It can be overridden like below.

Example:

var Post = mongoose.model('Post');
var options = {
  select: 'title body created_at user',
  criteria: {
    _id: this.params.id
    // more criterias
  },
  sort: {
    title: -1
  },
  limit: 10,
  skip: 10,     // useful for pagination
  populate: [
    { path: 'users', select: 'name email' }
  ],
  lean: true,   // only for list methods
}
yield Post.load(options);

.load(options)

does a .findOne on Post collection with all the options passed

yield Post.load(options);

.list(options)

does a .find on Post collection with all the options passed

yield Post.list(options);
