mongoose-hook-ensure-indexes

A mongoose plugin, improving 'Model.ensureIndexes' method, allowing also deletion of unused indexes and reindexing with changed options.

Installation

git clone git@github.com:tarquas/mongoose-hook-ensure-indexes.git mongoose-hook-ensure-indexes

Package

{
  "mongoose-hook-ensure-indexes": "0.1.4"
}

Usage

Example:

var
  mongoose = require('mongoose'),
  ensureIndexes = require('mongoose-hook-ensure-indexes'),
  PersonSchema;

PersonSchema = {
  name: String,
  email: String
};

PersonSchema.index({name: 1});
PersonSchema.index({email: 1}, {unique: true});

PersonSchema.plugin(ensureIndexes, {mongoose: mongoose});

mongoose.model('Person', PersonSchema);

Notes

• This plugin must be provided with an exact instance of mongoose, where the processing models expected to be processed, in opts parameter.

• This plugin makes sure that no other indexes persist on MongoDB collection than those, which specified in Schema. New indexes get created. Obsolete indexes get dropped. Indexes with changed options get recreated and rebuilt.
