mongoosEtters

adds a default getter and setter for each defined virtual that has no getters or setters on a schema. This works as a global schema plugin too!

Options:

at the moment the only option is { prefix }. By default the getters and setters will use { prefix: '_' } but if you pass in a different string like say, { prefix: 'boo' } it will use that instead.

Example:

#!/usr/bin/env node
'use strict'

const defaulter = require('mongoosetters')
const mongoose = require('mongoose')

const Schema = mongoose.Schema

const person = new Schema({
  name: String,
  age: Number,
  siblings: Array
})

person.virtual('nickName')
person.virtual('placeHolder')
person.virtual('setAndGetAlreadySet').set(function (val) {
  this.somethingElse = val
}).get(function () {
  return this.somethingElse
})

person.plugin(defaulter)

const Person = mongoose.model('person', person)

const billy = new Person({
  name: 'William',
  age: 25,
  siblings: [ 'Mary' ]
})

billy.nickName = 'billy'
console.log(`${billy._nickName} = ${billy.nickName}`)

billy.placeHolder = 'place held.'
console.log(`${billy._placeHolder} = ${billy.placeHolder}`)

billy.setAndGetAlreadySet = 'test'
console.log(`${billy.somethingElse} = ${billy.setAndGetAlreadySet}`)

Output:

$: ./index.js
billy = billy
place held. = place held.
test = test
$:
