mongoose-to-csv

MongooseToCsv is a mongoose plugin that creates a CsvBuilder instance for your Schema.

Usage

var UserSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
  fullname: {type: String},
  email: {type: String},
  age: {type: Number},
  username: {type: String}
});
 
UserSchema.plugin(mongooseToCsv, {
  headers: 'Firstname Lastname Username Email Age',
  constraints: {
    'Username': 'username',
    'Email': 'email',
    'Age': 'age'
  },
  virtuals: {
    'Firstname': function(doc) {
      return doc.fullname.split(' ')[0];
    },
    'Lastname': function(doc) {
      return doc.fullname.split(' ')[1];
    }
  }
});
 
var User = mongoose.model('Users', UserSchema);
 
// Query and stream
User.findAndStreamCsv({age: {$lt: 40}})
  .pipe(fs.createWriteStream('users_under_40.csv'));
 
// Create stream from query results
User.find({}).exec()
  .then(function(docs) {
    User.csvReadStream(docs)
      .pipe(fs.createWriteStream('users.csv'));
  });
 
// Transform mongoose streams
User.find({})
  .where('age').gt(20).lt(30)
  .limit(10)
  .sort('age')
  .stream()
  .pipe(User.csvTransformStream())
  .pipe(fs.createWriteStream('users.csv'));

Installation

$ npm install mongoose-to-csv

Testing

Running tests requires a local mongodb server, and mocha. While most likely not a namespace issue, the test script will create a database __mongoose_to_csv_test__, and drop the database when finished. You have been warned.

$ npm test 

API

The options argument is passed to the CsvBuilder instance, please refer to the Docs for more in-depth details. The only aditional property that can be included is the virutals property. The virtuals have nothing to do with mongoose virtuals.

Schema.csvReadStream([docs])

• docs Array

Schema.csvTransformStream()

Transforms mongoose querystreams to csv formated streams.

Schema.findAndStreamCsv(query)

Schema.find(query).stream().pipe(Schema.csvTransformStream())
