Mongoose beta Contributors are welcome

This tutorials show you, how you can use mongoose package with Ts.ED.

Feature

Currently, @tsed/mongoose allows you:

Configure one or more MongoDB database connections via the @ServerSettings configuration. All databases will be initialized when the server starts during the server's OnInit phase.
Declare a Model from a class with annotation,
Add a plugin, PreHook method and PostHook on your model.
Inject a Model to a Service, Controller, Middleware, etc...

Note

@tsed/mongoose use the JsonSchema and his decorators to generate the mongoose schema.

Installation

Before using the @tsed/mongoose package, we need to install the mongoose module.

npm install --save mongoose
npm install --save @tsed/mongoose

Then import @tsed/mongoose in your ServerLoader:

import {ServerLoader, ServerSettings} from "@tsed/common";
import "@tsed/mongoose"; // import mongoose ts.ed module

@ServerSettings({
   mongoose: {
       url: "mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/db1",
       connectionOptions: {
           
       }
   }
})
export class Server extends ServerLoader {

}

Multi databases

The mongoose module of Ts.ED Mongoose allows to configure several basic connections to MongoDB. Here is an example configuration:

import {ServerLoader, ServerSettings} from "@tsed/common";
import "@tsed/mongoose"; // import mongoose ts.ed module

@ServerSettings({
    mongoose: {
       urls: {
           db1: {
               url: "mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/db1",
               connectionOptions: {
                   
               }
           },
           db2: {
              url: "mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/db2",
              connectionOptions: {
                  
              }
           }
       }
    }
})
export class Server extends ServerLoader {

}

MongooseService

MongooseService let you to retrieve an instance of Mongoose.Connection.

import {Service} from "@tsed/common";
import {MongooseService} from "@tsed/mongoose";

@Service()
export class MyService {
    
    constructor(mongooseService: MongooseService) {
        mongooseService.get(); // return the default instance of Mongoose.
        // If you have one or more database configured with Ts.ED
        mongooseService.get("db1");
        mongooseService.get("db2");
    }
}

API

Ts.ED give some decorators and service to write your code:

Declaring a Model

By default, @tsed/mongoose reuse the metadata stored by the decorators dedicated to describe a JsonSchema. These decorators come from the @tsed/common package.

Here a model example:

import {
    Minimum, Maximum, MaxLength, MinLength, 
    Enum, Pattern, IgnoreProperty, Required, 
    PropertyType
} from "@tsed/common";
import {Model, Unique, Indexed, Ref} from "@tsed/mongoose"

enum Categories {
    CAT1 = "cat1",
    CAT2 = "cat2"
}

@Model()
export class MyModel {
    
    @IgnoreProperty() // exclude _id from mongoose in the generated schema
    _id: string;
    
    @Unique()
    @Required()
    unique: string;
    
    @Indexed()
    @MinLength(3)
    @MaxLength(50)
    indexed: string;
    
    @Minimum(0)
    @Maximum(100)
    rate: Number;
    
    @Enum(Categories)
    // or @Enum("type1", "type2")
    category: Categories;
    
    @Pattern(/[a-z]/) // equivalent of match field in mongoose 
    pattern: String;
    
    @PropertyType(String)
    arrayOf: string[];
    
    @Ref(OtherModel)
    ref: Ref<OtherModel>;
    
    @Ref(OtherModel)
    refs: Ref<OtherModel>[];
}

Inject model

It's possible to inject a model into a Service (or Controller, Middleware, etc...):

import {Service, Inject} from "@tsed/common";
import {MongooseModel} from "@tsed/mongoose";
import {MyModel} from "./models/MyModel";

@Service()
export class MyService {
    
    constructor(@Inject(MyModel) private model: MongooseModel<MyModel>): MyModel {
        console.log(model) // Mongoose.model class
    }
    
    async save(obj: MyModel): MongooseModel<MyModel> {
        
        const doc = new this.model(obj);
        await doc.save();
        
        return doc;
    }
    
    async find(query: any) {
        const list = await this.model.find(query).exec();
        
        console.log(list);
        
        return list;
    }
}

Register hook

Mongoose allows the developer to add pre and post hooks / middlewares to the schema. With this it is possible to add document transformations and observations before or after validation, save and more.

Ts.ED provide class decorator to register middlewares on the pre and post hook.

Pre hook

We can simply attach a @PreHook decorator to your model class and define the hook function like you normally would in Mongoose.

import {IgnoreProperty, Required} from "@tsed/common";
import {PreHook, Model} from "@tsed/mongoose";

@Model()
@PreHook("save", (car: CarModel, next) => {
    if (car.model === 'Tesla') {
        car.isFast = true;
      }
      next();
})
export class CarModel {
    
    @IgnoreProperty()
    _id: string;
    
    @Required()
    model: string;
    
    @Required()
    isFast: boolean;
    
    // or Prehook on static method
    @PreHook("save")
    static preSave(car: CarModel, next) {
       if (car.model === 'Tesla') {
           car.isFast = true;
       }
       next();
    }
}

This will execute the pre-save hook each time a CarModel document is saved.

Post hook

We can simply attach a @PostHook decorator to your model class and define the hook function like you normally would in Mongoose.

import {IgnoreProperty, Required} from "@tsed/common";
import {PostHook, Model} from "@tsed/mongoose";

@Model()
@PostHook("save", (car: CarModel) => {
    if (car.topSpeedInKmH > 300) {
        console.log(car.model, 'is fast!');
    }
})
export class CarModel {
    
    @IgnoreProperty()
    _id: string;
    
    @Required()
    model: string;
    
    @Required()
    isFast: boolean;
    
    // or Prehook on static method
    @PostHook("save")
    static postSave(car: CarModel) {
       if (car.topSpeedInKmH > 300) {
           console.log(car.model, 'is fast!');
       }
    }
}

This will execute the post-save hook each time a CarModel document is saved.

Plugin

Using the @Plugin decorator enables the developer to attach various Mongoose plugins to the schema. Just like the regular schema.plugin() call, the decorator accepts 1 or 2 parameters: the plugin itself, and an optional configuration object. Multiple plugin decorator can be used for a single model class.

import {IgnoreProperty, Required} from "@tsed/common";
import {MongoosePlugin, Model, MongooseModel} from "@tsed/mongoose";
import * as findOrCreate from 'mongoose-findorcreate';

@Model()
@MongoosePlugin(findOrCreate)
class UserModel {
  // this isn't the complete method signature, just an example
  static findOrCreate(condition: InstanceType<User>):
    Promise<{ doc: InstanceType<User>, created: boolean }>;
}

@Service()
class UserService {
    constructor(@Inject(UserModel) userModel: MongooseModel<UserModel>) {
        userModel.findOrCreate({ ... }).then(findOrCreateResult => {
          ...
        });
    }
}
