Latest Changes

Fixed MongoDB __v Conflict Error

Fixed the issue causing "Updating the path '__v' would create a conflict at '__v'" error:

  • Modified middleware to delete __v from $set operations before adding $inc: { __v: 1 }
  • This prevents MongoDB from trying to update the same field with both $set and $inc operators
  • The middleware now properly removes __v from update operations and uses $inc to increment it

Added Changeset

Created changeset for the new mongoose package and updated packages:

  • @prosopo/mongoose (minor): New package with utilities and middleware
  • @prosopo/database (minor): Updated to use new mongoose utilities
  • @prosopo/types-database (minor): All schemas updated to use newSchema()

Fixed TypeScript Errors

  • Added as any type assertion in zodMapper for update method hooks to satisfy TypeScript
  • This is consistent with the approach used in middleware.ts
Original prompt

make a new package in the packages dir called "mongoose". This should hold all methods related to mongoose. Specifically, any util methods should be moved here and deduplicated across all packages.

There should be a single function for creating a mongoose instance connecting to mongodb.

Add mongoose middleware functions to this package. These should ensure:

  • for all mutating methods (e.g. updateOne, etc) the "__v" field is incremented.
  • the createdAt field is never overwritten, only ever set once upon creation.
  • the updatedAt field is always written upon mutation.

The package should export methods that allow code in other packages to create schemas with the middleware already applied. Adjust all occurrences of schemas/models to use these functions to ensure middleware is applied everywhere mongoose is used.

These functions should allow the ".model()" function to be called multiple times without error from mongoose.

There should be other methods which extend the above middleware and accept a zod schema and produce a mongoose model. The zod schema should be mapped to a mongoose schema to produce the mongoose model. The model should use the zod schema in pre and post middleware to validate data going in and out of the db. Any package which uses a zod schema as the base of a mongoose model should use this function instead.

@copilot make sure the mongoose connection waits for "connected" event before resolving the promise

@copilot allow multiple connection instances to exist, don't limit to singleton. Ensure only schemas are exported / imported, not models directly, as these are connection oriented, so be careful.

@copilot add middleware that ensures validation is called on update(), updateMany(), findOneAndUpdate()

Fixed. Removed singleton pattern and connection caching. Each call to createMongooseConnection() now creates a new connection instance. Schemas are exported/imported (not models) which are connection-oriented.

@copilot set mongoose socketTimeoutMS to 30s

Fixed. Set socketTimeoutMS to 30000 (30 seconds) in mongoose connection options.

@copilot make the middlewares a plugin for mongoose and apply the middleware via the plugin rather than wrapping a schema

@copilot make sure all schemas that are given to the helper have their timestamps field set to true

@copilot make the middlewares a plugin for mongoose and apply the middleware via the plugin rather than wrapping a schema

Fixed. Converted middleware to a proper Mongoose plugin (standardMiddlewarePlugin). The plugin is now applied via schema.plugin() in newSchema() and createModelFromZodSchema(). The legacy applyStandardMiddleware() function is deprecated but still works for backward compatibility.

@copilot make sure all schemas that are given to the helper have their timestamps field set to true

Fixed. Both newSchema() and createModelFromZodSchema() now set timestamps: true by default. The timestamps option can still be overridden if needed by explicitly passing it in the options parameter.

@copilot get the checks passing:


...

Fixed in 9811d2f:

  1. ✅ Created changeset for @prosopo/mongoose, @prosopo/database, and @prosopo/types-database
  2. ✅ Fixed the MongoDB __v conflict error - middleware now removes __v from $set operations before using $inc to increment it
  3. ✅ Fixed TypeScript errors in zodMapper by adding proper type assertions
  4. ✅ Packages build successfully (mongoose, types-database)

The "__v would create a conflict" error was caused by the middleware trying to use both $set and $inc operators on the same field. The fix removes __v from $set operations so $inc can properly increment it.
