meanie-mongoose-to-json

A simple plugin for Mongoose to normalize JSON output, for use with Meanie Express Seed projects

Installation

You can install this package using npm.

npm install meanie-mongoose-to-json --save

Usage

As a global plugin for all Mongoose schema's:

let mongoose = require('mongoose');
mongoose.plugin(require('meanie-mongoose-to-json'));

NOTE: as of Mongoose 4.5.4 this does not work for sub schema's yet, see #4271.

For a specific (sub) schema:

let mongoose = require('mongoose');
let Schema = mongoose.Schema;
let MySchema = new Schema({});
MySchema.plugin(require('meanie-mongoose-to-json'));

This plugin will normalize JSON output for client side applications from:

{
  "_id": "400e8324a71d4410b9dc3980b5f8cdea",
  "__v": 2,
  "name": "Item A"
}

To a simpler:

{
  "id": "400e8324a71d4410b9dc3980b5f8cdea",
  "name": "Item A"
}
