@uptownhr fixed it.
what was the problem
I ended up putting the db connection into it’s own module and found out there was no db actually created.
The mongoose models were also sticking around so need to clear them with an afterEach
thanks for answering questions @uptownhr :)
Hi community.. I am trying to architecture a way to store a translation object into a mongo document.
My idea was to do this:
My idea was to do this:
var Translation = new Schema({
key: String,
value: String
});
var Product = new Schema({
title: [Translation]
});
But I am afraid it's not the best way to do things
Any ideas mates?
@daminufe wat is a translation object?
@uptownhr I want to create this translation object. The key is the lang code, and the value is the string itself
I could do something like
var Product = new Schema({
title: {
en: "something",
pt: "algo"
}
});
looks fine to me
but the thing is: The amount of language are not fixed.. They can be any language.
how do I define in the schema to be an object?
you can use a non-strict version
in a sense
you probably don't want a Translation schema
just use the type mixed
or you can go with your initial approach and just an array
they all work :)
up to you
Yes, but I read this:
Since it is a schema-less type, you can change the value to anything else you like, but Mongoose loses the ability to auto detect and save those changes.
as long as you are updating the entire doc, there should be no problem
okay, will test it then :P Thanks for your help! :+1:
so when you make your change
var product = await Product.findOne()
product.title = title_from_request
product.save()
yes, indeed sounds better. :)
I will do with a mixed type
I was quite scared to use that
coding is scaring :P
thanks again! Have a nice evening, or morning (depending on your tz)
