Elegant MongoDB object modeling for Node.js
Let's face it, writing MongoDB validation, casting and business logic boilerplate is a drag. That's why we wrote Mongoose.
var mongoose = require('mongoose');
mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost/test', { useMongoClient: true });
mongoose.Promise = global.Promise;
var Cat = mongoose.model('Cat', { name: String });
var kitty = new Cat({ name: 'Zildjian' });
kitty.save(function (err) {
if (err) {
console.log(err);
} else {
console.log('meow');
}
});
Mongoose provides a straight-forward, schema-based solution to model your application data. It includes built-in type casting, validation, query building, business logic hooks and more, out of the box.
