mongoose-latinize

mongoose-latinize

store the latin form of a String field for easy searching

usage

var mongoose_latinize = require('mongoose-latinize');
var user = new mongoose.Schema({ first_name: String });
user.plugin(mongoose_latinize, 'first_name');

This adds a new path to your schema, latin_first_name, storing the lower-case, latinized copy of first_name.

var user1 = new user({ first_name : 'Björk' });
user1.save(function(err, doc) {
    console.log(doc.latin_first_name); // returns 'bjork'
});

options

You can pass a simple string containing the property name (as above), or an object, with the following

• prop - string, required - the data source for the latin_-prefixed property
• index - bool, defaults true - creates an index on the latin_-prefixed property for fast searching
• json - bool, defaults false - determines whether to include the latinized property when calling .toJSON()

For example, to not use an index and to include the properties in JSON transforms:

var user = new mongoose.Schema({ first_name: String });

user.plugin(mongoose_latinize, {
    prop: 'first_name',
    index: false,
    json: true
});
