Simple plugin for Mongoose which adds createdAt and updatedAt date attributes
that get auto-assigned to the most recent create/update timestamp.
npm install mongoose-timestamp
var timestamps = require('mongoose-timestamp');
var UserSchema = new Schema({
username: String
});
UserSchema.plugin(timestamps);
mongoose.model('User', UserSchema);
var User = mongoose.model('User', UserSchema)The User model will now have createdAt and updatedAt properties, which get
automatically generated and updated when you save your document.
var user = new User({username: 'Prince'});
user.save(function (err) {
console.log(user.createdAt); // Should be approximately now
console.log(user.createdAt === user.updatedAt); // true
// Wait 1 second and then update the user
setTimeout( function () {
user.username = 'Symbol';
user.save( function (err) {
console.log(user.updatedAt); // Should be approximately createdAt + 1 second
console.log(user.createdAt < user.updatedAt); // true
});
}, 1000);
