NodeJS Mongo - Mongoose - Dynamic collection name
Hello you just need to declare schema model with your dinamically name, like this:
var mongoose = require('mongoose');
var Schema = mongoose.Schema;
// our schema
function dynamicSchema(prefix){
var addressSchema = new Schema({
dir : {type : String, required : true}, //los 2 nombres delimitados por coma (,) ej. Alberto,Andres
city : {type : String, required: true}, //la misma estructura que para los nombres ej. Acosta, Arteta
postal : {type : Number, required : true},
_home_type : {type : Schema.Types.ObjectId, required : true, ref : prefix + '.home_type'},
state : {type : String, required : true},
telefono : String,
registered : {type : Date, default: Date.now }
});
return mongoose.model(prefix + '.address', addressSchema);
}
//no we export dynamicSchema function
module.exports = dynamicSchema;
so in your code anywhere you can do this:
var userAdress = require('address.js')(id_user);
var usrAdrs1 = new userAddress({...});
userAdrs1.save();
Now go to your mongo shell & list collections (use mydb then show collections), you will see a new collection for address with uid prefix. In this way mongoose will create a new one collection address for each different user uid.
Use the function to get the model dynamically.
/*
* Define Schemas as you used to
*/
const ConvForUserSchema = new Schema({
user_id: Number,
conv_hash: String,
archived: Boolean,
unread: Boolean
},{
versionKey : false,
strict: false
});
/*
* Define the dynamic function
*/
const models = {};
const getModel = (collectionName) => {
if( !(collectionName in models) ){
models[collectionName] = connection.model(
collectionName, ConvForUserSchema, collectionName
);
}
return models[collectionName];
};
Then get the dynamic model using the function
const result = getModel("YourCollectionName").findOne({})
