Mongoose Disable Plugin

mongoose-disable is a simple and lightweight plugin that enables document disabling in MongoDB. This code is based on dsanel plugin mongoose-delete

Inspiration

mongoose-delete is a great implementation of a soft delete mechanism that enables users to hide documents without really deleting them. This isually allows to maintain references from other documents in DB without breaking your whole application.

Although mongoose-delete is perfect for delete cases, deletion is a different state than inactive. And, for some cases, you can use deletion just to keep references working, but it can be considered as a non-recoverable state from user's perspective, which leads yout to search for intermediate states for particular reasons, such as temporary hiddens, archives, etc. This is why I decided to fork the initial implementation in order to have another flag for intermediate states between deleted and non deleted.

Features

• Add disable() method on document (do not override standard remove() method)
• Add disableById() static method
• Add disabled (true-false) key on document
• Add disabledAt key to store time of disabling
• Add disabledBy key to record who disabled document
• Restore disabled documents using enable method
• Bulk disable and enable
• Option to override static methods (count, countDocuments, find, findOne, findOneAndUpdate, update, updateMany)
• For overridden methods we have two additional methods: methodDisabled and methodWithDisabled
• Disable model validation on disabled
• Option to create index on disabled fields (disabled, disabledAt, disabledBy)
• Option to disable use of $ne operator using {use$neOperator: false}. Before you start to use this option please check #50.

Installation

Install using npm

npm install mongoose-disable

Usage

We can use this plugin with or without options.

Simple usage

const mongooseDisabled = require('mongoose-disable');

const PetSchema = new Schema({
    name: String
});

PetSchema.plugin(mongooseDisabled);

const Pet = mongoose.model('Pet', PetSchema);

const fluffy = new Pet({ name: 'Fluffy' });

fluffy.save(function () {
    // mongodb: { disabled: false, name: 'Fluffy' }

    // note: you should invoke exactly disable() method instead of standard fluffy.remove()
    fluffy.disable(function () {
        // mongodb: { disabled: true, name: 'Fluffy' }

        fluffy.enable(function () {
            // mongodb: { disabled: false, name: 'Fluffy' }
        });
    });

});

const examplePetId = mongoose.Types.ObjectId("53da93b16b4a6670076b16bf");

// INFO: Example usage of disableById static method
Pet.disableById(examplePetId, function (err, petDocument) {
    // mongodb: { disabled: true, name: 'Fluffy', _id: '53da93b1...' }
});

Save time of disabling

const mongooseDisabled = require('mongoose-disable');

const PetSchema = new Schema({
    name: String
});

PetSchema.plugin(mongooseDisabled, { disabledAt : true });

const Pet = mongoose.model('Pet', PetSchema);

const fluffy = new Pet({ name: 'Fluffy' });

fluffy.save(function () {
    // mongodb: { disabled: false, name: 'Fluffy' }

    fluffy.disable(function () {
        // mongodb: { disabled: true, name: 'Fluffy', disabledAt: ISODate("2014-08-01T10:34:53.171Z")}

        fluffy.enable(function () {
            // mongodb: { disabled: false, name: 'Fluffy' }
        });
    });

});

Who has disabled the data?

const mongooseDisabled = require('mongoose-disable');

const PetSchema = new Schema({
    name: String
});

PetSchema.plugin(mongooseDisabled, { disabledBy : true });

const Pet = mongoose.model('Pet', PetSchema);

const fluffy = new Pet({ name: 'Fluffy' });

fluffy.save(function () {
    // mongodb: { disabled: false, name: 'Fluffy' }

    const idUser = mongoose.Types.ObjectId("53da93b16b4a6670076b16bf");

    fluffy.disable(idUser, function () {
        // mongodb: { disabled: true, name: 'Fluffy', disabledBy: ObjectId("53da93b16b4a6670076b16bf")}

        fluffy.enable(function () {
            // mongodb: { disabled: false, name: 'Fluffy' }
        });
    });

});

Bulk disable and enable

const mongooseDisabled = require('mongoose-disable');

const PetSchema = new Schema({
    name: String,
    age: Number
});

PetSchema.plugin(mongooseDisabled);

const Pet = mongoose.model('Pet', PetSchema);

const idUser = mongoose.Types.ObjectId("53da93b16b4a6670076b16bf");

// Disable multiple object, callback
Pet.disable(function (err, result) { ... });
Pet.disable({age:10}, function (err, result) { ... });
Pet.disable({}, idUser, function (err, result) { ... });
Pet.disable({age:10}, idUser, function (err, result) { ... });

// Disable multiple object, promise
Pet.disable().exec(function (err, result) { ... });
Pet.disable({age:10}).exec(function (err, result) { ... });
Pet.disable({}, idUser).exec(function (err, result) { ... });
Pet.disable({age:10}, idUser).exec(function (err, result) { ... });

// Enable multiple object, callback
Pet.enable(function (err, result) { ... });
Pet.enable({age:10}, function (err, result) { ... });

// Enable multiple object, promise
Pet.enable().exec(function (err, result) { ... });
Pet.enable({age:10}).exec(function (err, result) { ... });

Method overridden

We have the option to override all standard methods or only specific methods. Overridden methods will exclude disabled documents from results, documents that have disabled = true. Every overridden method will have two additional methods, so we will be able to work with disabled documents.

| only not disabled documents | only disabled documents | all documents | |----------------------------|-------------------------|-----------------------------| | count() | countDisabled | countWithDisabled | | countDocuments() | countDocumentsDisabled | countDocumentsWithDisabled | | find() | findDisabled | findWithDisabled | | findOne() | findOneDisabled | findOneWithDisabled | | findOneAndUpdate() | findOneAndUpdateDisabled | findOneAndUpdateWithDisabled | | update() | updateDisabled | updateWithDisabled | | updateMany() | updateManyDisabled | updateManyWithDisabled |

Examples how to override one or multiple methods

const mongooseDisabled = require('mongoose-disable');

const PetSchema = new Schema({
    name: String
});

// Override all methods
PetSchema.plugin(mongooseDisabled, { overrideMethods: 'all' });
// or 
PetSchema.plugin(mongooseDisabled, { overrideMethods: true });

// Overide only specific methods
PetSchema.plugin(mongooseDisabled, { overrideMethods: ['count', 'find', 'findOne', 'findOneAndUpdate', 'update'] });
// or
PetSchema.plugin(mongooseDisabled, { overrideMethods: ['count', 'countDocuments', 'find'] });
// or (unrecognized method names will be ignored)
PetSchema.plugin(mongooseDisabled, { overrideMethods: ['count', 'find', 'errorXyz'] });


const Pet = mongoose.model('Pet', PetSchema);

// Example of usage overridden methods

Pet.find(function (err, documents) {
  // will return only NOT DISABLED documents
});

Pet.findDisabled(function (err, documents) {
  // will return only DISABLED documents
});

Pet.findWithDisabled(function (err, documents) {
  // will return ALL documents
});

Disable model validation on disable

const mongooseDisabled = require('mongoose-disable');

const PetSchema = new Schema({
    name: { type: String, required: true }
});

// By default, validateBeforeDisable is set to true
PetSchema.plugin(mongooseDisabled);
// the previous line is identical to next line
PetSchema.plugin(mongooseDisabled, { validateBeforeDisable: true });

// To disable model validation on disable, set validateBeforeDisable option to false
PetSchema.plugin(mongooseDisabled, { validateBeforeDisable: false });

// NOTE: This is based on existing Mongoose validateBeforeSave option
// http://mongoosejs.com/docs/guide.html#validateBeforeSave

Create index on fields

const mongooseDisabled = require('mongoose-disable');

const PetSchema = new Schema({
    name: String
});

// Index all field related to plugin (disabled, disabledAt, disabledBy)
PetSchema.plugin(mongooseDisabled, { indexFields: 'all' });
// or 
PetSchema.plugin(mongooseDisabled, { indexFields: true });

// Index only specific fields
PetSchema.plugin(mongooseDisabled, { indexFields: ['disabled', 'disabledBy'] });
// or
PetSchema.plugin(mongooseDisabled, { indexFields: ['disabledAt'] });
