Shared Models

This NPM package contains all mongoose models, schemas and types that are reused in multiple components in the system.

Adding Models

Adding a shared model is as simple as it gets. Imagine you have a model Potato that you want to use in two or more components, to make it a shared model, all you do is:

1. Create a file for the model

touch src/models/potato.model.ts

2. Build the model

// src/models/potato.model.ts

import mongoose, { InferSchemaType } from 'mongoose';

const potatoSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
    // blablabla
});

const potatoModelName = 'Potato';

const PotatoModel = mongoose.model(potatoModelName, potatoSchema);

type PotatoType = InferSchemaType<typeof potatoSchema>;

3. Export the model and its inferred type

// src/models/potato.model.ts

// ... at the end of the file
export { PotatoModel, PotatoType, potatoModelName };

4. Finally, export the file exports from index.ts

// src/index.ts

// ... existing exports blablabla
export * from './models/potato.model';

Usage

To use a shared model in a NodeJS component, all you need to do is install this package and viola!

npm install @fcai-sis/shared-models

// some file in your NodeJS component codebase

import { PotatoModel } from "@fcai-sis/shared-models";
