mongoose.models.autoload

Automatically load mongoose models/schemas from a directory.

Supports setting a path directory and allows recursive loading from a path.

Installation

npm install mongoose.models.autoload --save

Usage

const run = async function(){

    //connect mongoose to database
    const connection = await require('mongoose').connect('mongodb://127.0.0.1/db', { useNewUrlParser: true });

    //load models to mongoose connected instance
    const db = require('mongoose.models.autoload')(connection, require('path').join(__dirname, 'models'), true);

    //create
    let item = db.models.test({name: 'tzaca paca'});
    await item.save();

    //find
    let itemFound = await db.models.test.findOne({name: 'tzaca paca'});
}

run();

Put your models within the ./models directory and add models in individual files:

module.exports = function(mongoose){

    var schema = new mongoose.Schema({
        name: String,
    });

    schema.methods.test = function(){
        return 'hello world';
    }

    return schema;
}

Feel free to create your own hierarchy of files or directories!
