mongoose-plugins-recurrency

This package was created so some mongoose plugins could be installed only once per schema. And not every time a new model is created using that same schema.

The option passed is if the plugin should be applied recursively(mongoose normal behavior), or just once for that schema.

Installation

npm install mongoose-plugins-recurrency

@NOTE: It requires mongoose as peerDependency.

Usage

var mongoose = require('mongoose');

// It automatically adds logic to mongoose.
require('mongoose-plugins-recurrency');

// Register Global plugin with recursive flag set to false to prevent it to be called more than once.
mongoose.plugin(function pluginA (schema, options){
    console.log('Registering only once');
}, {
    recursive: false
});

// Register Global plugin with recursive flag set to true to use mongoose normal behavior.
// @NOTE: recursive default value is true
mongoose.plugin(function pluginB(schema, options){
    console.log('Registering only once');
}, {
    recursive: true
});

var Dummy = new mongoose.Schema({
    title: String
});

// You also can also use it directly on a schema before building the models.
Dummy.plugin(function pluginC (schema, options){
    console.log('## Something Great ##');
}, {
    recursive: true // or false
});

var DummyA = mongoose.model('DummyA', Dummy);
var DummyB = mongoose.model('DummyB', Dummy);

// Right now Dummy schema should have 1 instance of pluginA, 2 instances of pluginB and 1 instance of pluginC

Tests

npm test
