How to do raw mongodb operations in mongoose?
mongodb, mongoose
Solution
See the section on "Driver Access" in the docs: http://mongoosejs.com/
Basically you can get access to the node-mongodb-native driver by doing `YourModel.collection` and then you can `insert` or `remove` or `drop` or whatever you need.
There's not a doc, but with this approach you'll get access to everything in here: https://mongoosejs.com/docs/api.html#collection-js
Edit:
In your case you may want to skip using mongoose in your test suite and use the node-mongodb-native directly, or even write a simple mongodb shell script that can be run before your tests start.
Problem
I'm asking this because when I write unit tests, I want to drop the test database and insert some initialize data, and also check the data in mongodb in testing. So I need raw operations to mongodb. How to do this in mongoose? What I can do now is just create the connection, and not find any document in mongoose's official site. ``` var mongoose = require('mongoose'); mongoose.connect('mongo://localhost/shuzu_test'); // get the connection var conn = mongoose.connection; ``` But how to: - drop the database - create a collection - write some data to a collection - query a collection - drop a collection
