Classy Mongo (v0.0.14) is a lightweight, class-based ODM for MongoDB, providing a simple way to define models using ES6 classes with property prototypes for schema definition. It offers methods like `findById`, `insertOne`, and static query helpers. Released infrequently, it is a minimal alternative to Mongoose, suitable for small projects or prototypes.

Code

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

default export

✓ import classy from 'classy-mongo'

✗ const classy = require('classy-mongo')

The package supports both ESM and CJS, but the default import is for the main object.

Model

✓ import { Model } from 'classy-mongo'

✗ const Model = require('classy-mongo').Model

Named export; available in both ESM and CJS.

connect

✓ import { connect } from 'classy-mongo'

✗ import connect from 'classy-mongo'

`connect` is a named export, not a default one.

Defines a Book model class with typed properties, inserts a document, retrieves it by ID, and accesses a computed property.

import { connect, Model } from 'classy-mongo'; await connect('mongodb://localhost:27017/mydb'); class Book extends Model { name = String.prototype; pages = [String.prototype]; isSpecial = Boolean.prototype; get pageCount() { return this.pages.length; } static getSpecials() { return this.find({ isSpecial: true }); } } const result = await Book.insertOne({ name: 'Test', pages: ['page1'] }); const book = await Book.findById(result.insertedId); console.log(book.pageCount);

Debug

Known issues

gotchaProperty types must be prototypes (e.g., String.prototype, Boolean.prototype), not constructors.

fix

Use String.prototype instead of String for default values.

affects: >=0.0.1

gotchaArray types must be wrapped in brackets with the prototype inside: [String.prototype].

fix

Define array fields as [String.prototype], not Arrays of plain strings.

affects: >=0.0.1

deprecatedThe `classy.connect()` method does not accept options (e.g., useNewUrlParser).

fix

Use `mongodb` driver directly for advanced connection options, or pass a connection string only.

affects: >=0.0.1

Errors

Common errors & fixes

TypeError: Class constructor Model cannot be invoked without 'new'

Using Model as a function instead of extending it as a class.

fix

Define a class that extends Model, e.g., class Book extends Model { ... }.

MongoError: cannot use 'prototype' property on non-object

Setting a field to a constructor like String instead of String.prototype.

fix

Use String.prototype for type definition.
