SeeRepo with Mongoose

Mongoose describes your MongoDB data in code. SeeRepo reads it inside whatever framework your app uses, often Express or Next.js.

What SeeRepo reads

• Your models, from mongoose.model("X", schema), model<T>("X", schema) and helpers your project writes with the same shape. Each one is a data model on your map.
• The file that defines a model becomes data, so it sits with your data on the right of the map instead of inside your product.
• MongoDB as a service, from your packages, your environment variables and the URLs in your code.

An example from our test bank

hagopj13/node-express-boilerplate, an Express API, read at a fixed commit:

• 2 data models: Token and User
• 2 files of data, 3 actions and 34 inner pieces
• MongoDB, found as a service with its proof

async-labs/saas, a monorepo of Next.js apps and Express APIs, shows 7 Mongoose models: Discussion, EmailTemplate, Invitation, PasswordlessToken, Post, Team and User.

Good to know

• A model is found by the call that registers it, never by its file's name.
