Introduction
This package, Mongoosejs-cli, is a package for nodejs to help generate and run migrations and seeders for mongoosejs with ease.
Note that this is an unofficial CLI package for mongoosejs.
Prerequisites🔨
- node >=11.0.0
- yarn >= 1.16.0 || npm >= 6.0.0
- mongoosejs >= 5.5.12
Installation🛠
Globally
There are two ways to of installing and using this package:
yarn global add mongoosejs-cli
- Usage
- mongoose
Locally
yarn add mongoosejs-cli
- Usage
- npx mongoosejs-cli
Note 📓
It is recommended to install the package in your project(local). We'll be using the local approach in the following examples.
Usage
Make sure you have mongoose already installed in your project before proceeding.
To display list of options that the command has, do the following
npx mongoosejs-cli
You'll see the following on your terminal:
Mongoosee CLI [Node: 11.10.0, CLI: 1.0.5, ODM: 5.5.12]
mongoose [command]
Commands:
mongoose db:migrate Run pending migrations
mongoose db:migrate:status List the status of all migrations
mongoose db:migrate:undo Reverts a migration
mongoose db:migrate:undo:all Revert all migrations ran
mongoose db:seed Run specified seeder
mongoose db:seed:undo Deletes data from the database
mongoose db:seed:all Run every seeder
mongoose db:seed:undo:all Deletes data from the database
mongoose init Initializes project
mongoose init:config Initializes configuration
mongoose init:migrations Initializes migrations
mongoose init:models Initializes models
mongoose init:seeders Initializes seeders
mongoose migration:generate Generates a new migration file [aliases: migration:create]
mongoose model:generate Generates a model and its migration [aliases: model:create]
mongoose seed:generate Generates a new seed file [aliases: seed:create]
Options:
--help Show help [boolean]
--version Show version number [boolean]
To initialize the project
We recommend that after viewing the lis of commands, first thing to do, is to generate the required files and directories needed to get started. It can achieved by entering the following command.
npx mongoosejs-cli init
This will generate the following:
config/
config.json
models/
index.js
migrations/
seeders/
- config/ => the directory containing all your configuration files
- config.json => the default configuration files that contains the database connection strings based on the environment(NODE_ENV). You can add extra environments as well.
- models/ => the directory that contains all your mongoose models you generated through the package
- index.js => this file does the database connection and imports all your models
- migrations/ => directory containing all your migration files
- seeders/ => directory containing all your seed files
Options
Changing path
By default, mongoosejs-cli generates the migrations, seeders and models directories and files in the root directory of your project. To change this behaviour, create a new file called .mongooserc
manually or use the the following command:
touch .mongooserc
and paste the following code inside the new created file
const path = require('path');
module.exports = {
'config': path.resolve('config', 'database.json'),
'models-path': path.resolve('db', 'models'),
'seeders-path': path.resolve('db', 'seeders'),
'migrations-path': path.resolve('db', 'migrations')
}
Now the CLI will look for its
- configuration settings inside ./config/database.json
- models files inside ./db/models/
- migration files inside ./db/migrations/
- seed files inside ./db/seeders/
Configuration file
By default the CLI will try to use the file config/config.js
. You can modify that path either via the --config
flag or via the option mentioned earlier. Here is how a configuration file might look like (this is the one that npx mongoosejs-cli init
generates):
{
"development": {
"database": {
"url": "mongodb://localhost/mongoose_dev",
"options": {
"useNewUrlParser": true
}
}
},
"test": {
"database": {
"url": "mongodb://localhost/mongoose_test",
"options": {
"useNewUrlParser": true
}
}
},
"production": {
"database": {
"protocol": "mongodb",
"username": "root",
"password": "password",
"name": "database_production",
"host": "localhost",
"port": "",
"options": {
"useNewUrlParser": true
}
}
}
}
Configuration for connecting over SRV
In case you are using MongoDB Atlas or any other services that supports srv, kindly remove database name known as "name"
from the database main object and assign its value to a new string called "dbName"
in the options object, such as the following.
{
"production": {
"database": {
"protocol": "mongodb+srv",
"username": "root",
"password": "password",
"host": "subdomain.mongodb.com",
"port": "",
"options": {
"useNewUrlParser": true,
"dbName": "database_production",
}
}
}
}
In case you want to use a url string instead, do the following
{
"production": {
"database": {
"url": "mongodb+srv://root:[email protected]/database_production",
"options": {
"useNewUrlParser": true,
"dbName": "database_production",
}
}
}
}

FAQ
The Mongoosejs Command Line Interface (CLI) Frequently Asked Question
Initialize mongoose to create necessary files in the project
$ npx mongoosejs-cli init
How can I generate a model?
Specify model name with --name
argument. List of table fields can be passed with --attributes
option. Note that the datatypes are using Mongoose SchemaTypes when defining them using the CLI.
$ npx mongoosejs-cli model:create --name User --attributes name:String,state:Boolean,birth:Date,card:Number
You can create your own custom datatypes as plugins after the model file has been generated for you. Refer to Mongoose Plugins, on how to do so.
How can I create a migration?
Specify migration name with --name
argument
$ npx mongoosejs-cli migration:create --name <migration_name>
How do call/use a model defined?
You can call/use a model(eg: Player) by doing the following:
const models = require('path_to_models_folder');
const players = await models.Player.find({});
console.log(players) // will print players collection
What is the command to execute all migrations?
$ npx mongoosejs-cli db:migrate
How can I make a migrations rollback?
$ npx mongoosejs-cli db:migrate:undo:all
How can I create a seeder?
Specify seeder name with --name
argument
$ npx mongoosejs-cli seed:create --name <seeder_name>
How can I run the seeders?
$ npx mongoosejs-cli db:seed:all
How can I make the seeders rollback?
$ npx mongoosejs-cli db:seed:undo:all
Do you have an example of how the structure of the project look like?
Yes. Please check the examples folder in this project. Screenshots can also be found here

Credits👌
This package would not have been made possible if not for the following:
- Mongoosejs Contributors and maintainers for the awesome ORM specially for mongodb on nodejs
- Sequelize for their CLI, which Mongoosejs-cli structure was heavily based on.
- Kefranabg, for his readme-md-generator package which generated the skeleton for this readme file.
- Nodejs, Yarnpkg, NPM etc...
