mongo-round

Helper function to perform rounding of numbers when working with mongoDB Aggregation Framework.

npm install mongo-round

Usage

var round = require('mongo-round');

To zero decimal places:

db.myCollection.aggregate([
	{ $project: {
		roundValue: round('$value')
	} }
]);

To two decimal places:

db.myCollection.aggregate([
	{ $project: {
		roundAmount: round('$amount', 2)
	} }
]);

To cents and from cents - saves from rounding errors for armithmetic operations on financial data:

db.myCollection.aggregate([
	{ $project: {
		amountCents: round({$multiply:['$amount', 100]})
	} },
	{ $group: {
		_id: null, amountCents: {$sum: '$amountCents'}
	} }
	{ $project: {
    	amount: round({$divide:['$amountCents', 100]}, 2)
    } }
]);

Note that for negative numbers rounding is done using absolute values, which is fitting for financial data:

round(-0.5) will give -1
