mongoose-any-index v0.1.3

mongoose-any-index

Mongoose plugin that adds some additional functionality to mongoose indexes:

1. Lets you add arbitrary indexes to any path, regardless of whether it's specified in your schema. The typical case is when you want sparse indexes within a Mixed type:

   any_index = require 'mongoose-any-index'
   Awesome = new Schema
     email: { type: String, index: true, unique: true, required: true }
     tags: [{type: String}]
     data: { type: Schema.Types.Mixed }
   Awesome.plugin any_index, [
     [ { 'data.nested_field': 1 }, { unique: true, sparse: true } ]
   ]

2. Adds a Model.fullEnsureIndexes(cb) static method that drops indexes not specified in your schema. This lets you avoid "index bloat", since mongoose's Model.ensuresIndexes(cb) by default does not call dropIndex on pre-existing indexes.

Installation

npm install mongoose-any-index
