MongoSense Query Builder

MongoSense is a flexible and easy-to-use MongoDB aggregation pipeline builder. It supports chaining, conditional stage inclusion, logging for debugging purposes, and advanced query optimization via the IntelliOptimizer engine. Build complex pipelines easily with methods that map directly to MongoDB’s aggregation framework while optimizing performance.

Features

- Chaining: Chain multiple aggregation stages easily.
- Conditional Query: Skip stages when conditions aren't met (e.g., when parameters are null or undefined).
- Logging: Enable debugMode to log the pipeline construction process for debugging.
- MongoDB Aggregation Stages: Supports all major MongoDB aggregation stages.
- Intelli Optimization: The IntelliOptimizer engine provides performance enhancements, including:
- Index Recommendation: Automatically suggests indexes for fields used in queries.

- lookup(): Add a $lookup stage for left outer joins.
- addFields(), $bucket(), $bucketAuto(), $count(), $facet(), $project(), $unwind(), $out(), $replaceRoot(), $merge(), $redact(), $sample().

Usage Example

`typescript
import { MongoSense } from 'mongosense';

const builder = new MongoSense(true) // Enable debug mode
.collection('users')
.match({ isActive: true }) // Add $match stage
.addFields({ fullName: { $concat: ['$firstName', ' ', '$lastName'] } }) // Add $addFields stage

API Documentation

$3

Creates a new instance of the MongoSenseQueryBuilder.

- Parameters:
- debugMode: When set to true, enables logging of pipeline construction. Default is false.

$3

The collection() method allows you to specify one or more MongoDB collections that the query will target. This is useful for operations like $lookup or for multi-collection queries.

`typescript
// Example: Single Collection
const builder = MongoSense().collection('users');

// Example: Multiple Collections
const builder = MongoSense().collection('users', 'orders');
`

You can also chain the collection selector with other methods, as shown:
`typescript
const pipeline = MongoSense()
.collection('users')
.build();
`

$3

The match() method is used to add a $match stage to the MongoDB aggregation pipeline. It allows you to filter documents based on a given set of criteria.

`typescript
// Example
const pipeline = MongoSense()
.collection('users') // Select the 'users' collection
.match({ isActive: true }) // Filter for active users
.build();

console.log(pipeline);

// Output:
// [
// { $match: { isActive: true } }
// ]
`

* Parameters:
* criteria: An object representing the filter criteria. This is similar to the MongoDB find() query.
* Returns: The instance of the MongoSenseQueryBuilder for method chaining.

$3

The sort() method is used to add a $sort stage to the MongoDB aggregation pipeline. It allows you to sort documents based on specific fields in either ascending or descending order.

#### Example:

`typescript
const pipeline = MongoSense()
.collection('users') // Select the 'users' collection
.match({ isActive: true }) // Filter for active users
.sort({ age: 1 }) // Sort by age in ascending order
.build();

console.log(pipeline);
// Output:
// [
// { $match: { isActive: true } },
// { $sort: { age: 1 } }
// ]
`

* Parameters:
* sortCriteria: An object specifying the field names as keys and the sort order as values. Use 1 for ascending and -1 for descending.
* Returns: The instance of the MongoSenseQueryBuilder for method chaining.

$3

The limit() and skip() methods are used to add $limit and $skip stages to the MongoDB aggregation pipeline. These stages are essential for pagination, where skip() is used to skip a certain number of documents and limit() is used to return a limited number of documents.

`typescript
// Example:

const pageSize = 10;
const pageNumber = 3; // For page 3
const skip = (pageNumber - 1) * pageSize;

const pipeline = MongoSense()
.collection('users') // Select the 'users' collection
.skip(skip) // Skip the first 20 documents (for page 3)
.limit(pageSize) // Return 10 documents
.build();

console.log(pipeline);
// Output:
// [
// { $skip: 20 },
// { $limit: 10 }
// ]
`

* Parameters:
* limit: The number of documents to return.
* skip: The number of documents to skip.
* Returns: The instance of the MongoSenseQueryBuilder for method chaining.

#### Pagination Logic:
When implementing pagination, you typically calculate how many documents to skip based on the current page number and the page size (number of items per page). Here's the formula:

Skip Formula: skip = (pageNumber - 1) pageSize
* Limit Formula: limit = pageSize
With the skip() and limit() methods, you can easily create a paginated query.

$3

The lookup() method is used to add a $lookup stage to the MongoDB aggregation pipeline. This stage performs a left outer join with another collection, allowing you to merge documents from two collections.

`typescript
// Example:
const pipeline = MongoSense()
.collection('users') // Select the 'users' collection
.lookup('orders', '_id', 'userId', 'userOrders') // Join with the 'orders' collection
.build();

console.log(pipeline);
// Output:
// [
// {
// $lookup: {
// from: 'orders',
// localField: '_id',
// foreignField: 'userId',
// as: 'userOrders'
// }
// }
// ]
`
* Parameters:
* from: The target collection to join with.
* localField: The field from the current collection to match with the foreignField.
* foreignField: The field from the target collection to match with the localField.
* as: The name of the field where the joined documents will be stored.
* Returns: The instance of the MongoSenseQueryBuilder for method chaining.

$3

The group() method is used to add a $group stage to the MongoDB aggregation pipeline. This stage allows you to group documents by a specified key and perform various aggregation operations, such as $sum, $avg, $min, and $max.


`typescript
// Example:
const pipeline = MongoSense()
.collection('sales') // Select the 'sales' collection
.group({ category: "$category" }, { totalSales: { $sum: "$amount" } }) // Group by category and sum total sales
.build();

console.log(pipeline);
// Output:
// [
// {
// $group: {
// _id: { category: "$category" },
// totalSales: { $sum: "$amount" }
// }
// }
// ]
`
* Parameters:
* groupBy: Specifies the field (or fields) to group by.

`typescript
// Example
const pipeline = MongoSense()
.collection('users') // Select the 'users' collection
.addFields({ fullName: { $concat: ['$firstName', ' ', '$lastName'] } }) // Add a fullName field
.build();

console.log(pipeline);

// Output:
// [
// { $addFields: { fullName: { $concat: ['$firstName', ' ', '$lastName'] } } }
// ]
`

* Parameters:
* fields: An object defining the new fields to add.
* Returns: The instance of the MongoSenseQueryBuilder for method chaining.

$3

default: "Other",
output: {
count: { $sum: 1 },
totalAmount: { $sum: "$amount" }
}
}) // Group sales by amount
.build();

console.log(pipeline);

// Output:
// [
// { $bucket: { groupBy: "$amount", boundaries: [0, 100, 200, 300, 400], default: "Other", output: { count: { $sum: 1 }, totalAmount: { $sum: "$amount" } } } }

If null or undefined is passed, the stage is skipped.

`typescript
// Example:
const pipeline = MongoSense()
.collection('users')
.match({ isActive: true }) // Add $match stage if criteria is provided
.sort(null) // Skip $sort stage if no sorting is needed
.limit(10) // Add $limit stage if provided
.addFields(null) // Skip $addFields stage if no fields are provided
.sample(10) // Add $sample stage if size is provided
.build();

* Supported Stages:
* $match, $sort, $limit, $skip, $lookup, $group, $addFields, $bucket, $bucketAuto, $count, $facet, $project, $unwind, $out, $replaceRoot, $merge, $redact, and $sample.
* Returns: The instance of the MongoSenseQueryBuilder for method chaining.

Intelli Optimization Engine

The IntelliOptimizer is an optional performance-first engine for query optimization, index recommendations, and index creation in MongoDB. This can be enabled by passing the IntelliOptimizer instance to the MongoSenseQueryBuilder. It helps reorder query stages for performance and suggests or automatically creates indexes for optimized querying.

$3

To use the Intelli optimizer, you need to initialize the IntelliOptimizer class with a MongoDB connection and pass it to the MongoSenseQueryBuilder factory.

`typescript
import { MongoClient } from 'mongodb';
import { MongoSense } from './queryBuilder';
import IntelliOptimizer from './intelli';

async function main() {
const client = new MongoClient('mongodb://localhost:27017');
await client.connect();

// Initialize IntelliOptimizer with the MongoDB client
const intelli = new IntelliOptimizer(client);

const builder = MongoSense(true, intelli)
.collection('users')
.match({ isActive: true }) // $match stage
.sort({ createdAt: -1 }) // $sort stage
.limit(10);

await builder.optimize(); // Perform optimizations (reordering and index recommendations)

const pipeline = builder.build();
console.log(pipeline);

// Automatically create indexes if necessary
await builder.createIndexes();

await client.close();
}

main();
`

$3

1. Index Recommendation
The Intelli engine can analyze query patterns (such as fields used in $match and $sort stages) and recommend indexes for those fields if they are not already indexed.

`typescript
const recommendations = await optimizer.analyzeAndRecommendIndexes('users', ['isActive', 'createdAt']);
console.log('Recommended indexes:', recommendations);
`

2. Automatic Index Creation
After recommendations are made, Intelli can automatically create indexes for those fields to optimize MongoDB queries.

`typescript
const createdIndexes = await optimizer.createIndexes('users', ['isActive', 'createdAt']);
console.log('Created indexes:', createdIndexes);
`

3. Pipeline Optimization
Intelli can reorder the pipeline stages, ensuring that $match and $sort stages appear earlier in the pipeline for better performance.

`typescript
await builder.optimize(); // Automatically reorders stages for performance
`

4. Debug Mode
When debugMode is enabled, Intelli logs its internal operations (such as pipeline optimization and index recommendations) for inspection.

`typescript
const builder = MongoSense(true, intelli); // Enable debug mode
`
