mongoose-moment's Introduction

mongoose-moment

Store Moment dates in Mongo using Mongoose internally as millisecond timestamps.

Installing

$ npm install mongoose moment mongoose-moment

var mongoose = require('mongoose')
require('mongoose-moment')(mongoose);

Configuration

Use the new SchemaType 'Moment' in your schema definitions:

var mySchema = new mongoose.Schema({
	created: 'Moment'
});
var MyModel = new mongoose.Model('MyModel', mySchema);

Usage

Writing models

var Moment = require('moment');
var myModel = new MyModel({ created: new Moment() });
myModel.save();

Reading models

var myModel = MyModel.findById('123', function(err, doc){
	console.log(doc.created.format());
});

Querying for models

Mongoose doesn't transform query values according to schemas, so you'll have to do it yourself. Internally, Moment values are stored in the database as the number of milliseconds since the Unix epoch. To find a document using a Moment field, use a query like

MyModel.find({ created: new Moment('2014-03-29').valueOf() }, function(err, docs) {});

mongoose-moment's Issues

Required validator fails, even when a value is provided.

If I define a schema like this.

mongoose.schema({
    "occurredAt": {
        "type": "Moment",
        "required": true
    }
});

Mongoose throws a ValidatorError llike this.

{
    "occurredAt": {
        "message": "Path `occurredAt` is required.",
        "name": "ValidatorError",
        "properties": {
            "type": "required",
            "message": "Path `{PATH}` is required.",
            "path": "occurredAt",
            "value": 1472116740000
        },
        "kind": "required",
        "path": "occurredAt",
        "value": 1472116740000
    }
}

Note that the error specifically indicates that value": 1472116740000 was present, even though it is throwing a ValidatorError. This is strange behavior that goes away when I change the type of the property from "Moment" to some other thing.

How to format several fields from querying mongo

How would I parse a query result from mongo?

At the instrucctions you say

Reading models
var myModel = MyModel.findById('123', function(err, doc){
console.log(doc.created.format());
});

BUt supose you have a model with several fields like:

var mySchema = new mongoose.Schema({
Name: String,
created: 'Moment'
Street :String
});

How woud you parse internaly each created field for every row in my mongo db database?

In your example you only do a console.log for one registry but what por a query for a full collection in mongo?

var mySchema = MyEschema.find().exec( function(err, list){
response.json(list)
});

Feature Request: Migrate to storing Date objects

MongoDB now supports storing dates. I'd love to still use Moments in code, but it would be nice to migrate all the stored values to Date objects for more readability when using the Mongo console.
