I want to rename the collection in my schema, but mongodb keeps using the old name.
I have been running my code with the schema name set to '__filters', but now I need to change the name to '__filter'. ( NOT plural )
When I create a filter, mongodb creates a '__filters' collection
This is how I had the original Schema set up, note plural 'filters'
// create the schema
const FiltersSchema = new Schema({
test: {type: String, required: true},
})
module.exports = Filters = mongoose.model('__filters', FiltersSchema)
Now I want to make the name of the collection singular '__filter'. This is the new schema that I want to use: NOTE: ALL singular now
// create the schema
const FilterSchema = new Schema({
test: {type: String, required: true},
})
module.exports = Filter = mongoose.model('__filter', FilterSchema)
Here is the code that I am using:
const Filter = require('./Filter');
createFilter = ( test ) => {
return new Promise((resolve, reject) =>{
var errors = {};
Filter.findOne( {test:test} )
.then(found => {
if(found) {
errors.err = {'inUse':'already created'};
console.log(errors);
reject(errors);
} else {
const newFilter = new Filter({
test: test
});
newFilter.save()
.then(f => {
if(debugThis){
console.log(' ');
console.log(' created ' + JSON.stringify(f));
console.log(' ');
}
resolve(f);
})
.catch(err => {
errors.exception = {'save':err};
console.log(errors);
reject(errors);
});
}
})
.catch(err => {
errors.exception = {'findOne':err};
reject(errors);
})
});
};
it's almost like there is some cache somewhere that is keeping the older 'filters' schema around.
Is there something I need to clear?
I have even tried this, which didn't work either
let dbc = mongoose.connection.db;
dbc.collection('filters').rename('filter')
.then()
.catch(err =>{});
I closed DevStudio and restarted it.
I have created a new database in MongoDB
I restarted the MongoDB server service
Nothing seems to reset '__filters' to '__filter'
In desperation, I remove the _filter from the schema and it crashed and spit this out:
TypeError: Cannot read property 'toLowerCase' of undefined
at pluralize
(\node_modules\mongoose-legacy-pluralize\index.js:85:13)
Does mongoose make names plural automatically ??
Well blow me down olive oil... mongoose makes stuff plural... how 'nice' of them to do that... I DON'T want plural names...
