acl

Simple access control list

Methods

instance.addAccess(key)

Add key access to a Model instance

instance.removeAccess(key)

Remove key access to a Model instance

instance.access(key [, callback])

Return or callback a boolean


basicAuth

Simple authentication plugin

Options

Authenticate a user on the model level

model.register(attributes, callback)

Create a new user with given attributes

Example

var mongoose = require('mongoose')
  , troop = require('mongoose-troop')
  , db = mongoose.connect()
  , UserSchema = new mongoose.Schema()
 
UserSchema.plugin(troop.basicAuth)
 
var User = mongoose.model('user', UserSchema)
 
User.register({
  username: 'foo'
, password: 'bar'
}, function() {
  // ...
})
 
User.authenticate('foo', 'bar', function(err, doc) {
  // ...
})
 
User.findOne({ username: 'foo'}, function(err, doc) {
  if (err || !doc) return
  doc.setPassword('foobar', function(err) {
    if (err) return
    doc.authenticate('foobar', function() {
      // ...
    })
  })
})

timestamp

Adds a created and modified property to the schema, updating the timestamps as expected.

Options

  , FooSchema = new mongoose.Schema()
 
FooSchema.plugin(troop.timestamp)

Note

Using the virtual created timestamp you will lose the ability to run queries against it, as well as a loss in precision, as it will return a timestamp in seconds.


slugify

Options

  • target schema path for slug destination (optional, default slug)
  • source schema path for slug content (optional, default title)

  , FooSchema = new mongoose.Schema()
 
FooSchema.plugin(troop.slugify)
 
var instance = new FooSchema({title: 'well hello there!'})
 
instance.save(function(err, doc) {
  console.log(doc.slug) // `well-hello-there`
})

Note

This plugin does not currently support nested paths

Keyword extraction/creation plugin, can be used as a simple substitute of a full search indexing package.

Turns fooed bars into ['foo', 'bar']

Options

  • target schema path for keyword destination (optional, default keywords)
  • source schema path for extracting keywords, can be an array to specify multiple paths
  • minLength minimum string length to be used as a keyword (optional, default 2)

Manually calculate a keyword array with a given string

Example

var mongoose = require('mongoose')
  , troop = require('mongoose-troop')
  , db = mongoose.connect()
 
var FooSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
  text: String
})
 
FooSchema.plugin(troop.keywords, {
  source: 'text'
})
 
var fooModel = mongoose.model('foo', FooSchema)
  , instance = new FooSchema({ text: 'i am the batman' })
 
console.log(instance.keywords) // `['am', 'the', 'batman']`
 
fooModel.find({ 
  keywords: { $in: fooModel.extractKeywords('batman') }
}, function(docs) {
  // ...
})

Note

This plugin does not currently support nested paths


publish

Plugin to publish/subscribe from a model or instance level, also enabling a model to automatically publish changes on init, save, and remove methods. Both models and instances can be published/subscribed to.

Options

  • auto attach middleware based on the hook for init, save, and remove methods (optional, default false)
  • hook middleware method to attach auto middleware to (optional, default post)
  • seperator redis channel seperator (optional, default :)
  • prefix redis channel prefix, can be a string or function (optional, default ``)
  • channel channel for schema to publish/subscribe to, can be a string or function (optional, default schema.constructor.modelName)
  • publish redis instance to be used for publishing
  • subscribe redis instance to be used for subscribing

Methods

instance.publish(doc, options, callback)

instance.subscribe(callback)

instance.unsubscribe(callback)

instance.getChannel()

instance.on(event, callback)

model.subscribe(callback)

model.unsubscribe(callback)

model.getChannel()

model.on(event, callback)

Example

var redis = require('redis')
  , publish = redis.createClient()
  , subscribe = redis.createClient()
  , mongoose = require('mongoose')
  , troop = require('mongoose-troop')
  , db = mongoose.connect()
 
var FooSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
  name: String
})
 
FooSchema.plugin(troop.publish, {
  publish: redis
, subscribe: subscribe
})
 
var FooModel = mongoose.model('foo', FooSchema)
 
FooModel.subscribe() // channel: 'foos'
 
FooModel.findOne({name: 'bar'}, function(err, instance) {
  // ...
})

Once you have a mongoose instance you can now publish it, by default, a model or instance will publish to it's own channel

instance.publish(null, {
  method: 'save'
}, function(err, count) {
  // publishes to 'foos:4d6e5acebcd1b3fac9000007'
})

You can also publish other documents to other models or instances

FooModel.publish(instance, function(err, count) {
  // publishes to 'foos'
})

or, if you have enabled hooks

instance.save()

You can also subscribe on the instance level

instance.subscribe() // channel: 'foos:4d6e5acebcd1b3fac9000007'

pagination

Simple query pagination routines.

Options

  • defaultQuery Query to use if not specified (optional, default {})
  • defaultLimit Results per page to use if not specified (optional, default 10)
  • defaultFields Fields to use if not specified (optional, default {})
  • remember Remember the last options used for query, limit, and fields (optional, default false)

Methods

model.paginate(options, callback)

model.firstPage(options, callback)

model.lastPage(options, callback)

Example

Assume that we have a collection with 55 records in it for the following example, where the count field is incremented by 1 for each record, starting at 1.

var mongoose = require('mongoose')
  , troop = require('mongoose-troop')
  , db = mongoose.connect()
 
var FooSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
  name: String
, count: Number
})
 
FooSchema.plugin(troop.pagination)
 
var FooModel = mongoose.model('foo', FooSchema)
 
FooModel.paginate({ page: 1 }, function (err, docs, count, pages, current) {
 
  // docs.length = 10
  // count = 55
  // pages = 6
  // current = 1
 
})

Which, since using the default options, can also be written as:

FooModel.firstPage(function (err, docs, count, pages, current) {
  // ...
})

Or, if you wanted the last page:

FooModel.lastPage(function (err, docs, count, pages, current) {
  // docs.length = 5
  // current = 6
})

A more verbose pagination call

FooModel.paginate({
  page: 2
, query: { count: { $gt: 25 } }
, limit: 25
, fields: { 'field1: 1, field2': 1 }
}, function(err, docs, count, pages, current) {
  
  // docs.length = 5
  // count = 30
  // pages = 2
  // current = 2
 
})

Note

If using the remember option, the plugin will cache all of the options you give it each time you pass them in (except for the page), this can be handy if the params are going to be the same each time, if they are different you should not use this option.

Also, when on the last page, the plugin will return the trailing number of documents, in the example above the lastPage method returned 5 documents, it will never return a full set specified by the limit when this is the case.


rest

Options

  • pagination options to send to the pagination plugin above (optional, see plugin defaults above)

Create a REST-ful controller for your models for use with flatiron/director, express, dnode or socket.io


obfuscate

ObjectID encrypt/decryption. Recursively traverses a document, encrypting or decrypting any ObjectID that is found to prevent leaking any server information contained in the ID, will work with embedded documents as well as DBRefs.

Options

  • encryptPath Getter path for returning encrypted document (optional, default obfuscate)
  • decryptPath Setter path for decrypting an object and assigning it to the document (optional, default deobfuscate)
  • algorithm Encryption algorithm to use (optional, default aes-256-cbc)
  • key Encryption key to be used (optional, default secret)
  • from Encoding of the field to be encrypted (optional, default utf8)
  • to Encoding of the encrypted field (optional, default hex)

Methods

model.encrypt(string)

model.decrypt(string)

model.encode(object, boolean)

instance.encrypt(string)

instance.decrypt(string)

Example

var mongoose = require('mongoose')
  , troop = require('mongoose-troop')
  , db = mongoose.connect()
 
var BarSchema = new mongoose.Schema()
  , UserSchema = new mongoose.Schema()
  , SessionSchema = new mongoose.Schema()
 
// A complicated schema
var FooSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
  dbref: { type: ObjectId, ref: BarSchema }
, dbrefArray: [{ type: ObjectId, ref: BarSchema }]
, nested: {
    dbref: { type: ObjectId, ref: BarSchema }
  , dbrefArray: [{ type: ObjectId, ref: BarSchema }]
  , embedded: [FooSchema]
}
, embedded: [FooSchema]
, user: { 
    id: { type: Schema.ObjectId, ref: 'user' }
  , session: {
      sid: { type: Schema.ObjectId, ref: 'session' }
    }
  }
})
 
FooSchema.plugin(troop.obfuscate)
 
var FooModel = mongoose.model('foo', FooSchema)
  , BarModel = mongoose.model('bar', BarSchema)
  , UserModel = mongoose.model('user', UserSchema)
  , SessionSchema = mongoose.model('session', SessionSchema)
 
var bar = new BarModel()
  , user = new UserModel()
  , session = new SessionModel()
 
var foo = new FooModel({
  dbref: bar
, dbrefArray: [foo2, foo3]
, embeddedArray: [foo]
, nested: {
    dbref: foo
  , dbrefArray: [foo2, foo3]
  , nested: [foo]
}
, embedded: {
    id: user._id
  , session: { sid: session._id }
  }
})
 
var obfuscated = foo.obfuscate

Now we should have an obfuscated object like so

{
  _id: '0edaf91b2b5fa8c06413cdbf9ebed72a90a2c5ae4fe9b837d24865bd92c56ab2'
, dbref: '0edaf91b2b5fa8c06413cdbf9ebed72a4735e5707b8423055431a1fe65adad6b'
, dbrefArray: [
    '0edaf91b2b5fa8c06413cdbf9ebed72a59ea2f1567c4ba640c02b02bb73f36d7'
  , '0edaf91b2b5fa8c06413cdbf9ebed72aec369726048f7aa6cae9e8d20d7b2344'
  ]
, embedded: {
    id: '0edaf91b2b5fa8c06413cdbf9ebed72a340f055306b64aeececd8835755008fc'
  , session: {
      sid: '0edaf91b2b5fa8c06413cdbf9ebed72a9f324d66d3a0e0d1c2fdd12d65efa3ea'
    }
  }
, embeddedArray: [{
    _id: '0edaf91b2b5fa8c06413cdbf9ebed72a4735e5707b8423055431a1fe65adad6b'
  }]
, nested: {
    dbref: '0edaf91b2b5fa8c06413cdbf9ebed72a4735e5707b8423055431a1fe65adad6b'
  , dbrefArray: [
      '0edaf91b2b5fa8c06413cdbf9ebed72a59ea2f1567c4ba640c02b02bb73f36d7'
    , '0edaf91b2b5fa8c06413cdbf9ebed72aec369726048f7aa6cae9e8d20d7b2344'
    ]
  , embeddedArray: [{
      _id: '0edaf91b2b5fa8c06413cdbf9ebed72a4735e5707b8423055431a1fe65adad6b'
    }]
  }
}

To deobfuscate the object, we can assign it back to the original model, or to another.

var emptyFoo = new FooModel()
 
emptyFoo.deobfuscate = obfuscated

Which should give us back the original object

{ 
  _id: 4f1b234afe789543a3000008
, dbref: 4f1b234afe789543a3000003
, dbrefArray: [ 4f1b234afe789543a3000004, 4f1b234afe789543a3000005 ] 
, embedded: { 
    id: 4f1b234afe789543a3000007
  , session: { 
      sid: 4f1b234afe789543a3000006 
    }
  }
, embeddedArray:  [{
    _id: 4f1b234afe789543a3000003
  }]
, nested: { 
    dbref: 4f1b234afe789543a3000003
  , dbrefArray: [ 4f1b234afe789543a3000004, 4f1b234afe789543a3000005 ] 
  , embeddedArray: [{
      _id: 4f1b234afe789543a3000003
    }]
  }
}

Note

This plugin will not work with Mixed type schema paths, you will have to obfuscate those manually


merge

instance.merge({title:'A new title', description:'A new description'}).save()

getdbrefs

Get the dbrefs from a schema

instance.getdbrefs(function (refs) {
  // ...
})

Note

This plugin does not currently support nested paths


removeDefaults

Remove all of the default values from your model instance.

instance.removeDefaults().save()

Note

This plugin does not currently support nested paths
