@cgvweb/mongoose-cursor-pagination NPM

Mongoose Cursor Pagination

A simple Mongoose plugin that allows defining cursor pagination for your Schemas.

This plugin is developed by Christian Gil mainly to be used on his own projects, since it provides common utilities used in many back-end projects.

Installation

pnpm install @cgvweb/mongoose-cursor-pagination

!IMPORTANT This package requires mongoose ^7 || ^8 and zod ^3 to be installed as peer dependencies.

Usage

To use the cursor pagination functionality, you must install the plugin on your Schema and optionally add the type to the model:

// user.schema.ts
import { paginatePlugin, type PaginateFn } from '@cgvweb/mongoose-cursor-pagination';
import { Schema, model, type Model } from 'mongoose';

export interface UserFields {
  id: string;
  email: string;
  name: string;
}

/** Adds the `paginate` method type to the User model */
export interface UserModel extends Model<UserFields> {
  paginate: PaginateFn<UserFields>;
}

const userSchema = new Schema<UserFields>({
  name: { type: String, required: true },
  email: { type: String, required: true, unique: true },
});

// Add the cursor pagination plugin
userSchema.plugin(paginatePlugin);

export const User = model<UserFields, UserModel>('user', userSchema);

Now you can use the paginate method on your schema to query the data using cursor pagination:

import { User } from './user.schema.ts';

async function searchUsers() {
  const result = await User.paginate({
    pagination: { limit: 10, order: 'asc' },
  });
  return result;
}

Pagination Options

Option	Type	Required	Description
`pagination`	`object`	Yes	The options for the paginated query.
`pagination.limit`	`number`	Yes	The maximum number of docs to fetch per page.
`pagination.order`	"asc" \| "desc"	Yes	The sorting order of the cursor.
`pagination.prevCursor`	`string`	No	The cursor to fetch the previous page from.
`pagination.nextCursor`	`string`	No	The cursor to fetch the next page from. If used with `prevCursor` it will be ignored.
`filters`	`FilterQuery<T>`	No	Same filters you would pass to a regular Mongoose query.For example: `{ filters: { status: "active" } }`
`queryOpts`	`QueryOptions<T>`	No	The same query options you would pass to a regular Mongoose query.For example: `{ queryOpts: { populate: "author" } }`
`projection`	`ProjectionType<T>`	No	The same projection options you would pass to a regular Mongoose query.For example: `{ projection: { email: false } }`

Pagination Response

Field	Type	Description
`data`	`T[]`	The subset of documents on the current page based on the limit, order and cursors provided.
`totalCount`	`number`	The total number of documents that match the query provided, including the ones on the current page.
`nextCursor`	`string` \| `null`	The cursor you can use to fetch the next page of documents. If `null`, the current page is the last one.
`prevCursor`	`string` \| `null`	The cursor you can use to fetch the previous page of documents. If `null`, the current page is the first one.

Additional Exports

To make sure you can use the pagination functions with data validation, this plugin also exports a few Zod schemas and types:

Resource	Type	Description
`Paginated<T>`	`type`	The type of the response from the `paginate` method. The `T` generic is used to type the `data` array.
`PaginateFn<T>`	`type`	The type used to add the `paginate` method to the Mongoose Schema. The `T` generic is used to add the document fields to the `paginate` options.
`PaginationSchema`	`ZodObject`	A Zod schema you can use to validate the options passed to `pagination`.
`PaginationFields`	`type`	The inferred type of `PaginationSchema`.
`SortOrderType`	`type`	`asc` \| `desc`
