#Mongoose-keywordize Plugin
Provides keyword derivation for Mongoose documents.
Options:
- fields: an array of paths you want watched and converted into keywords
- fn: a custom function to execute when keywordize() runs, pushes returned values to keyword array
- keywordField: provide your own name for the keywords field, defaults to
keywords
- map: a custom function to run against each keyword before it's added to the keyword array
Example:
var schema = new Schema({ name: String, title: String });
schema.plugin(keywordize, { fields: 'name title'.split(' ') });
This will introduce a new keywordize()
document method which detects if any of the passed fields have been modified and updates the new keywords
property appropriately.
Example:
var Person = mongoose.model('Person', schema);
var me = new Person({ name: 'aaron' });
me.keywordize();
console.log(me.keywords) // ['aaron']
The keywordize
method is always called upon saving each document, auto-updating to the latest keywords.
me.title = 'Mr';
me.save(function (err) {
console.log(me.keywords) // ['aaron', 'Mr']
})
Mongoose keywordize, by default, does not define an index on the "keywords" key. If you want to defined an index you should use the "index" option:
var opts = {}
opts.index = true
One may also pass an optional function to run custom logic within the call to keywordize
.
var opts = {};
opts.fields = ['name', 'title']
opts.fn = function custom () {
if ('Mister' === this.title) {
return 'Mr';
}
}
var schema = new Schema({ name: String, title: String });
schema.plugin(keywordize, opts);
var Person = mongoose.model('Person', schema);
var me = new Person({ name: 'aaron' });
me.title = 'Mister';
me.keywordize();
console.log(me.keywords) // ['aaron', 'Mister', 'Mr']
The optional function will be executed within the context of the document meaning we have access to the documents properties through the this
keyword.
Either a an Array or single string may be returned from the function and will be pushed onto the keywords array.
Pass an optional map
function to run against each keyword called by keywordize
.
The function is passed the field name
and value
.
var opts = {};
opts.fields = ['description', 'title']
opts.map = function(field, value) {
// remove html entities from each keyword picked from description
if (field === 'description') {
return value.replace(/&#?[a-z0-9]{2,8};/ig, ' ');
} else {
return value;
}
}
var schema = new Schema({ description: String, title: String });
schema.plugin(keywordize, opts);
var Person = mongoose.model('Person', schema);
var me = new Person({ name: 'aaron' });
me.description = 'Tall & Handsome';
me.keywordize();
console.log(me.keywords) // ['aaron', 'tall', 'handsome']
By default mongoose-keywordize lowercases the keywords. To preserve casing pass the upper: true
option to the plugin.
