mongoose-params

mongoose-params is designed to give you rails-like parameter helpers to secure your models.

Installation

$ npm install --save mongoose-params

Synopsis

var params = require('mongoose-params');

var UserSchema = new Schema({
  name: String,
  email: String,
  ssn: String
});

UserSchema.plugin(params, {
  permitted: 'name email',
  overrideMethods: false
});

UserSchema.virtual('profile')
  .get(function(){
    return this.only('name', 'email');
  });

var bob = new User({
  name: 'Bob',
  email: '[email protected]',
  ssn: '123-45-6789'
});

Methods

#only(params)

Return only params properties for the document

console.log(bob.profile); // {name: 'Bob', email: '[email protected]'}

#except(params)

Return all properties except params for the document

console.log(bob.except('ssn')); // {name: 'Bob', email: '[email protected]'}

#assign(data, [override])

Filter and apply changes to the document

bob.assign({
  name: 'Bob Perry',
  ssn: '000-00-0000'
});
console.log(bob); // {name: 'Bob', email: '[email protected]', ssn: '123-45-6789'}

#merge(data, [override])

Same as #assign but returns a copy of the document that the changes were made to

#safeUpdate(data, [override], [done])

Update the document using only [permitted] properties. Use override to set properties not in [permitted].

bob.safeUpdate({
  email: '[email protected]',
  ssn: '000-00-0000'
},{
  role: 'admin'
},function(err, updatedBob){
  console.log(updatedBob); // {name: 'Bob', email: '[email protected]', ssn: '123-45-6789', role: 'admin'}
});

Static Methods

#only(object, [callback], [thisArg])

See Lodash: _.pick.

#except(object, [callback], [thisArg])

See Lodash: _.omit.

#safeCreate(data, [override], [done])

Create document(s) using only [permitted] properties. Use override to set properties not in [permitted].

User.create({
  name: 'Bob',
  email: '[email protected]',
  ssn: '123-45-6789'
},{
  role: 'admin'
},function(err, bob){
  console.log(bob); // {name: 'Bob', email: '[email protected]', role: 'admin'}
});

Configuration

permitted: {String|Array<String>}

String or Array<String> that contains the permitted parameters

These both give the same result:

ThingSchema.plugin(require('mongoose-params'),{
  permitted: 'title description details'
});

ThingSchema.plugin(require('mongoose-params'),{
  permitted: ['title', 'description', 'details']
});

overrideMethods: {Boolean}

This option will set the mongoose Model.create and Document.update methods to #safeCreate and #safeUpdate, respectively.
