FindAndModify

=============

**NB: This package isn't actively maintained at the moment.** I'll review PRs 

as I can, but I'm currently not working on any Meteor projects,

so my incentive to bug-fix is pretty low.

This Meteor package adds [findAndModify](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/command/findAndModify/) support to Meteor's MongoDB Collections. It should work on both the server and client. It adapts 

and cleans up some code found on https://github.com/meteor/meteor/issues/1070.

Installation

------------

    meteor add fongandrew:find-and-modify

Usage

-----

    TestCollection.findAndModify({

      query: {name: "Batman"},

      update: {$set: {name: "Bruce Wayne"}},

      sort: {age: 1},

      upsert: true,

      new: true,

      fields: {favoriteColor: 0}

    });

    TestCollection.findAndModify({

      query: {name: "Robin"},

      sort: {age: -1},

      skip: 2,  // available only client side

      remove: true

    });

See mongo documentation for arguments details:

http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/method/db.collection.findAndModify/

Known Issues

------------

The client-side code (and the tests for the client-side code) works on the 

assumption that is running in a Meteor method simulation. If run outside of a 

simulation, the client-side code will use an `_id` selector in lieu of your

original query to get around Meteor's restriction on `_id` only updates

for untrusted (client) code. This may result in unusual errors or behavior if

your modifier is dependent on your query selector (e.g. as with positional

operators).

For consistency with Meteor's default behavior, upserts using findAndModify 

use _ids consisting of a 17 character string rather than an ObjectId. This

behavior has only been tested with Mongo 2.6+ and may result in issues with

Mongo 2.4.x.
