Docooment

A Mongoose like Azure DocuomentDB ORM based on Microsoft Azure DocumentDB Node.js SDK.

Build Status

Plugins

Docooment is compatibile with most of mongoose plugins. Check out the plugins search site to see hundreds of related modules from the community.

Overview

Connecting to DocumentDB

To use Docooment, you need to first create an Azure account. You can follow this tutorial to help you get started.

First, we need to define a connection.

connect take a URI, port, database and options that contains the auth masterKey.

var docooment = require('docooment');

docooment.connect('https://your-db-account.documents.azure.com', 443, 'yourDatabase' , {masterKey: 'yourMasterKey'});

Note: This documentantion is from Mongoose docs

Defining a Model

Models are defined through the Schema interface.

var Schema = mongoose.Schema
  , ObjectId = Schema.ObjectId;

var BlogPost = new Schema({
    author    : ObjectId
  , title     : String
  , body      : String
  , date      : Date
});

Aside from defining the structure of your documents and the types of data you're storing, a Schema handles the definition of:

The following example shows some of these features:

var Comment = new Schema({
    name  :  { type: String, default: 'hahaha' }
  , age   :  { type: Number, min: 18, index: true }
  , bio   :  { type: String, match: /[a-z]/ }
  , date  :  { type: Date, default: Date.now }
  , buff  :  Buffer
});

// a setter
Comment.path('name').set(function (v) {
  return capitalize(v);
});

// middleware
Comment.pre('save', function (next) {
  notify(this.get('email'));
  next();
});

Take a look at the example in examples/schema.js for an end-to-end example of a typical setup.

Accessing a Model

Once we define a model through mongoose.model('ModelName', mySchema), we can access it through the same function

var myModel = mongoose.model('ModelName');

Or just do it all at once

var MyModel = mongoose.model('ModelName', mySchema);

We can then instantiate it, and save it:

var instance = new MyModel();
instance.my.key = 'hello';
instance.save(function (err) {
  //
});

Or we can find documents from the same collection

MyModel.find({}, function (err, docs) {
  // docs.forEach
});

You can also findOne, findById, update, etc. For more details check out the docs.

Important! If you opened a separate connection using mongoose.createConnection() but attempt to access the model through mongoose.model('ModelName') it will not work as expected since it is not hooked up to an active db connection. In this case access your model through the connection you created:

var conn = mongoose.createConnection('your connection string')
  , MyModel = conn.model('ModelName', schema)
  , m = new MyModel;
m.save(); // works

vs

var conn = mongoose.createConnection('your connection string')
  , MyModel = mongoose.model('ModelName', schema)
  , m = new MyModel;
m.save(); // does not work b/c the default connection object was never connected

Embedded Documents

In the first example snippet, we defined a key in the Schema that looks like:

comments: [Comments]

Where Comments is a Schema we created. This means that creating embedded documents is as simple as:

// retrieve my model
var BlogPost = mongoose.model('BlogPost');

// create a blog post
var post = new BlogPost();

// create a comment
post.comments.push({ title: 'My comment' });

post.save(function (err) {
  if (!err) console.log('Success!');
});

The same goes for removing them:

BlogPost.findById(myId, function (err, post) {
  if (!err) {
    post.comments[0].remove();
    post.save(function (err) {
      // do something
    });
  }
});

Embedded documents enjoy all the same features as your models. Defaults, validators, middleware. Whenever an error occurs, it's bubbled to the save() error callback, so error handling is a snap!

Mongoose interacts with your embedded documents in arrays atomically, out of the box.

Middleware

See the docs page.

Intercepting and mutating method arguments

You can intercept method arguments via middleware.

For example, this would allow you to broadcast changes about your Documents every time someone sets a path in your Document to a new value:

schema.pre('set', function (next, path, val, typel) {
  // `this` is the current Document
  this.emit('set', path, val);

  // Pass control to the next pre
  next();
});

Moreover, you can mutate the incoming method arguments so that subsequent middleware see different values for those arguments. To do so, just pass the new values to next:

.pre(method, function firstPre (next, methodArg1, methodArg2) {
  // Mutate methodArg1
  next("altered-" + methodArg1.toString(), methodArg2);
});

// pre declaration is chainable
.pre(method, function secondPre (next, methodArg1, methodArg2) {
  console.log(methodArg1);
  // => 'altered-originalValOfMethodArg1' 
      
  console.log(methodArg2);
  // => 'originalValOfMethodArg2' 
      
  // Passing no arguments to `next` automatically passes along the current argument values
  // i.e., the following `next()` is equivalent to `next(methodArg1, methodArg2)`
  // and also equivalent to, with the example method arg 
  // values, `next('altered-originalValOfMethodArg1', 'originalValOfMethodArg2')`
  next();
});

Schema gotcha

type, when used in a schema has special meaning within Mongoose. If your schema requires using type as a nested property you must use object notation:

new Schema({
    broken: { type: Boolean }
  , asset : {
        name: String
      , type: String // uh oh, it broke. asset will be interpreted as String
    }
});

new Schema({
    works: { type: Boolean }
  , asset : {
        name: String
      , type: { type: String } // works. asset is an object with a type property
    }
});
