store the latin form of a String field for easy searching
npm install mongoose-latinizestore the latin form of a String field for easy searching
``javascript`
var mongoose_latinize = require('mongoose-latinize');
var user = new mongoose.Schema({ first_name: String });
user.plugin(mongoose_latinize, 'first_name');
This adds a new path to your schema, latin_first_name, storing the lower-case, latinized copy of first_name.
`javascript`
var user1 = new user({ first_name : 'Björk' });
user1.save(function(err, doc) {
console.log(doc.latin_first_name); // returns 'bjork'
});
You can pass a simple string containing the property name (as above), or an object, with the following
- prop - string, required - the data source for the latin_-prefixed propertyindex
- - bool, defaults true - creates an index on the latin_-prefixed property for fast searchingjson
- - bool, defaults false - determines whether to include the latinized property when calling .toJSON()
For example, to not use an index and to include the properties in JSON transforms:
`javascript
var user = new mongoose.Schema({ first_name: String });
user.plugin(mongoose_latinize, {
prop: 'first_name',
index: false,
json: true
});
