Schema Definitions

For ease of use you can have a folder with all your schema definitions along an index.js file that exports all the schemas inside the folder. e.g:

-- /my/mongoose/schemas/
  |-- index.js
  |-- post.js
  |-- user.js

// Post schema (post.js)
'use strict';
const Schema = require('mongoose').Schema;
const Post = new Schema({
    title: {
        type: String,
        trim: true
    },
    content: String,
    authorId: {
        type: String // referencing the User as you see fit
    },
    createdAt: {
        type: Date,
        'default': Date.now
    }
});
module.exports = Post;

// User schema (user.js)
'use strict';
const Schema = require('mongoose').Schema;
const User = new Schema({
    uuid: {
        type: String,
        'default': uuid.v4 // using an uuid library
    },
    name: {
        type: String,
        trim: true
    },
    lastName: {
        type: String,
        trim: true
    },
    createdAt: {
        type: Date,
        'default': Date.now
    }
});
module.exports = User;

// Exporter (index.js)
'use strict';
const Post = require('./post');
const User = require('./user');
const schemas = {
    Post,
    User
};
module.exports = schemas

Server Decorations

This plugin decorates the server object, adding a method called mongoose:connector that returns the full Connector object.

Use the Connector object to get your models in your controllers like this:

server.route({
    method: 'GET',
    path: '/posts',
    handler: async (request, h) => {
        const Post = request.server['mongoose:connector'].getModel('Post');
        // More code below
    }
});

Plugin Methods Exposed

connection: This gives you access to the Mongoose Connection Object.

server.route({
  method: 'GET',
  path: '/posts',
  handler: async (request, h) => {
      const MongooseConnection = request.server.plugins['hapi-nosql-mongoose'].connection;
      // More code below
  }
});

mongoose: This gives you access to the Mongoose Object.

server.route({
  method: 'GET',
  path: '/posts',
  handler: async (request, h) => {
      const Mongoose = request.server.plugins['hapi-nosql-mongoose'].mongoose;
      // More code below
  }
});
