• Provides a mongoose model method that transforms http request objects into mongo query expressions. e.g. /monsters?name=joe&age={gt}20
• Adds support for query expressions on referenced fields. e.g. /employee?manager.manager.name=herkules
• It can check that the query matches the schema and if not throw an error ( disabled by default ).

Apply the plugin to any schema in the usual Mongoose fashion:

monsterSchema.plugin(mongooseRefQuery[, options]);

Monster.refQuery(req.query)()

returns a promise.

The refQuery call will throw an error if throwErrors is set in the options.

// .refQueryPrepare(expression[, config])
var trigger = Employee.refQueryPrepare({ "manager.manager.name" : "herkules" });
var promise = trigger();

The refQueryPrepare throws an error if set in the options, if not the invalid part of the expression will simply be ignored.

The config parameter is a query config object with the folowing options:
