> Optimistic concurrency control plugin for [Mongoose](http://mongoosejs.com) v5.0 and higher.
This plugin brings optimistic concurrency control to Mongoose documents by incrementing document version numbers on each save, and preventing previous versions of a document from being saved over the current version.
Inspired by [issue #4004](https://github.com/Automattic/mongoose/issues/4004) in the Mongoose GitHub repository.
## Installation
```
$ npm install --save mongoose
$ npm install --save mongoose-update-if-current
```
## Getting Started
Import the plugin from the package:
```javascript
/* Using ES2015 imports */
import { updateIfCurrentPlugin } from 'mongoose-update-if-current';
/* Using require() */
const { updateIfCurrentPlugin } = require('mongoose-update-if-current');
```
Add it to mongoose as a global plugin, or add it to a single schema:
```javascript
/* Global plugin */
mongoose.plugin(updateIfCurrentPlugin);
/* Single schema */
const mySchema = new mongoose.Schema({ ... });
mySchema.plugin(updateIfCurrentPlugin);
```
Default behaviour is to use the schema's version key (`__v` by default) to implement concurrency control.
The plugin can be configured to use timestamps (`updatedAt` by default) instead, if they are enabled on the schema:
```javascript
/* Global plugin - remember to add { timestamps: true } to each schema */
mongoose.plugin(updateIfCurrentPlugin, { strategy: 'timestamp' });
/* Single schema */
const mySchema = new mongoose.Schema({ ... }, { timestamps: true });
mySchema.plugin(updateIfCurrentPlugin, { strategy: 'timestamp' });
```
The plugin will hook into the `save()` function on schema documents to increment the version and check that it matches the version in the database before persisting it.
**NB:** If the schema has a custom version key or timestamp field set, then the plugin will automatically regognise and use it. An error will be throws if you attempt to add the plugin to a schema without the fields to support it.
## Usage
Let's save a new `Book` to MongoDB.
```javascript
// Save a new Book document to the database
let book = await new Book({
title: 'The Prince',
author: 'Niccolò Machiavelli',
}).save();
```
Our book document should look something like this:
```javascript
{
__v: 0,
title: 'The Prince',
author: 'Niccolò Machiavelli',
...
}
```
Now that it's in the database, a user fetches the book and updates it.
```javascript
let book = await Book.findOne({ title: 'The Prince' });
book.title = 'Il Principe';
book = await book.save();
```
The book document in MongoDB now looks like this:
```javascript
{
__v: 1, // note the incremented version
title: 'Il Principe',
author: 'Niccolò Machiavelli',
...
}
```
Meanwhile, another user tries to update the book, fetching it before it was updated.
```javascript
// Before the call to save() above, so book.__v is 0
let book = await Book.findOne({ title: 'The Prince' });
// Now the other user updates the book, so our version is out of date
// Try to update the book based on the stale version
book.author = 'Niccolò di Bernardo dei Machiavelli';
book = await book.save(); // throws a VersionError
```
When the other user tries to save an out-of-date version of the document to the database, the operation fails and throws an error.
**NB:** The plugin throws a `VersionError` when in `{ strategy: 'version' }` mode, but throws a `DocumentNotFoundError` when in `{ strategy: 'timestamp' }` mode.
See the `__tests__` directory for more usage examples.
## Notes
- The plugin manages concurrency when a document is updated using `Document.save()`, but you can still force updates using `Model.update()`, `Model.findByIdAndUpdate()` or `Model.findOneAndUpdate()` if you so desire.
- The plugin relies on either `__v` or `updatedAt` to implement concurrency control; as such, this plugin might not be compatible with other plugins that alter these fields.
- The plugin causes the document's version to be incremented whenever `save()` is called when using it for concurrency control.
## Development
The project uses the [Google JavaScript code style](https://google.github.io/styleguide/jsguide.html). The test suites are built on Facebook's [Jest](https://facebook.github.io/jest/). Make sure that any changes you make are fully tested and linted before submitting a pull request!
