Nuxt Mongoose

A Nuxt module for simplifying the use of Mongoose in your project.

## Installation

```bash
npx nuxi@latest module add nuxt-mongoose
```

## Usage

### Setup

Add `nuxt-mongoose` to the `modules` section of your `nuxt.config.ts` file.

```ts
export default defineNuxtConfig({
modules: [
'nuxt-mongoose',
],
})
```

### Configuration

You can configure the module by adding a `mongoose` section to your `nuxt.config` file:

```ts
export default defineNuxtConfig({
mongoose: {
uri: 'process.env.MONGODB_URI',
options: {},
modelsDir: 'models',
},
})
```

By default, `nuxt-mongoose` will auto-import your schemas from the `models` directory in the `server` directory. You can change this behavior by setting the `modelsDir` option.

---

#### 🛠️ **Quick Setup Without Configuration**

If you prefer to use the default configuration, skip adding the `mongoose` section to your `nuxt.config.ts` file. Simply provide your MongoDB connection URI in a `.env` file like this:

```env
MONGODB_URI="mongodb+srv://username:[email protected]/?retryWrites=true&w=majority"
```

> 🔹 Replace `username`, `password`, and `` with your MongoDB credentials and database name.

That's it! The module will automatically use the `MONGODB_URI` and default settings for your connection. No additional configuration is required.

## API

### defineMongooseConnection

This function creates a new Mongoose connection. Example usage:

```ts
import { defineMongooseConnection } from '#nuxt/mongoose'

export const connection = defineMongooseConnection('mongodb://127.0.0.1/nuxt-mongoose')
```

### defineMongooseModel

This function creates a new Mongoose model with schema. Example usage:

```ts
import { defineMongooseModel } from '#nuxt/mongoose'

export const User = defineMongooseModel('User', {
name: {
type: String,
required: true,
},
})
```

**or you could use it like:**

```ts
export const User = defineMongooseModel({
name: 'User',
schema: {
name: {
type: String,
required: true,
},
},
})
```

#### Connecting to an Existing Collection

If you need to connect to an **existing collection** in the database, you must specify the collection name using the `options` field. Otherwise, Mongoose will create a new collection based on the model name.

```ts
import { defineMongooseModel } from '#nuxt/mongoose'

export const ProductSchema = defineMongooseModel({
name: 'Product',
schema: {
name: { type: String, required: true },
price: { type: Number, required: true },
stock: { type: Number, default: 0 },
},
options: {
collection: 'products_collection', // Ensure it uses the correct collection name
},
})
```

---

#### Important Notes

- Using the `options.collection` field ensures that the model interacts with the specified collection (`products_collection` in the example above).
- Without this option, a new collection will be created using the pluralized version of the model name (e.g., `Products`).
