textgoose

textgoose

This is a simple plugin to enable textsearch in your mongoose schema.

Usage

You can use this plugin just as any other mongoose plugin. For example for a blog post schema you would do something like that.

const mongoose = require('mongoose');
const textgoose = require('textgoose');

const postSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
    title: String,
    text: String,
    author: String,
    created_at: {type: Date, default: Date.now}
});

postSchema.index({title: 'text', text: 'text'});
postSchema.plugin(textgoose, options);

mongoose.model('Item', itemSchema);

Note that you need to mark the text fiels you want to use in search queries as indexes.

Plugin options

Also you can provide plugin with options object. Here's what you can customize

language: string - the language of the queries. Default is en.

Note that you need to mark your index field the same default_language you use in plugin's options like that:

postSchema.index({title: 'text', text: 'text'}, {default_language: 'russian'});

caseSensetive: boolean - clarify if you want your searches to be case sesitive. Default is false.

diacriticSensitive: boolean - clarify if you want your searches to be diacritic sensitive. Default is false.

To use textgoose on your module write use textSearch method like that.

Item.textSearch(query, queryOptions, (err, data) => {
    if (err)
        return console.log(err);

    return res.send(data);
});

Query options

Queries are customizable too. You can use the following options.

filter: object - use this as additional filter for your database documetns. For examle you can filter your posts by author using this filter {author: "John"}. Default is null.

limit: number - defines the maximum documents returned by your database. Default is 100.

scoreSort: boolean - If you want your docs to be sorted by their search score set it to true. Default is false.
