mongoose-selfreference

A plugin for mongoose. It enables
the creation of initially self-referential attributes. Combining this plugin
with populate is not recommended.

Usage

``js
someSchema.plugin(selfRefPlugin, options);
`

$3

An object with one required property, keys, an array of
strings. Each string is the name of an attribute you want
set as a self-reference when it is undefined.

$3


`js
someSchema.plugin(selfRefPlugin, {
keys : ['attrOne', 'attrTwo', 'attrThree']
});
`

Where someSchema is an instance of mongoose.Schema and
attrOne, attrTwo, attrThree are the names of attributes on
the documents you want to be initially self-referential.

No changes to the mongoose.Schema constructor invocation
are necessary to use this module, provided the type of the
self-referential attributes is the same as the type of the
document's _id attribute (mongoose.Schema.Types.ObjectId`
by default).
