Mongoose Constant
A simple plugin to make marked paths constant.
Usage
Installation
npm install --save mongoose-constant
Marking constant
Add constant: true option for paths you want to be set only on first time you save that document.
Example
var FooSchema = new Schema({
name: { type: String, constant: true }
});
FooSchema.plugin(constantPlugin);
var Foo = mongoose.model('Foo', FooSchema);
var bar = new Foo({
name: 'test1'
});
bar.save(function(err, bar) {
bar.name = 'test2';
bar.save(function(err, bar) {
// It will not be saved
});
});Note that
As this plugin works via mongoose middleware it will not work on direct db operations. (This is how mongoose works. See explanation.)
In short, you should avoid using:
- update
- findByIdAndUpdate
- findOneAndUpdate
- findOneAndRemove
- findByIdAndRemove
methods of your documents and models if you want Mongoose validations/middlewares (as this plugin) to work.
