## Description

Injects [typegoose](https://github.com/szokodiakos/typegoose) models for [nest](https://github.com/nestjs/nest) components and controllers. Typegoose equivalant for [@nestjs/mongoose.](https://docs.nestjs.com/techniques/mongodb)

Using Typegoose removes the need for having a Model interface.

## Installation

```bash
npm install --save nestjs-typegoose
```

or

```
yarn add nestjs-typegoose
```

## Documentation

[Here is the full documentation describing all basic and advanced features.](https://kpfromer.github.io/nestjs-typegoose/)

## Basic usage

You can checkout the `example` project for more details.

**app.module.ts**

```typescript
import { Module } from "@nestjs/common";
import { TypegooseModule } from "nestjs-typegoose";
import { CatsModule } from "./cat.module.ts";

@Module({
  imports: [
    TypegooseModule.forRoot("mongodb://localhost:27017/nest", {
      useNewUrlParser: true,
    }),
    CatsModule,
  ],
})
export class ApplicationModule {}
```

Create class that describes your schema

**cat.model.ts**

```typescript
import { prop } from "@typegoose/typegoose";
import { IsString } from "class-validator";

export class Cat {
  @IsString()
  @prop({ required: true })
  name: string;
}
```

Inject Cat for `CatsModule`

**cat.module.ts**

```typescript
import { Module } from "@nestjs/common";
import { TypegooseModule } from "nestjs-typegoose";
import { Cat } from "./cat.model";
import { CatsController } from "./cats.controller";
import { CatsService } from "./cats.service";

@Module({
  imports: [TypegooseModule.forFeature([Cat])],
  controllers: [CatsController],
  providers: [CatsService],
})
export class CatsModule {}
```

Get the cat model in a service

**cats.service.ts**

```typescript
import { Injectable } from "@nestjs/common";
import { InjectModel } from "nestjs-typegoose";
import { Cat } from "./cat.model";
import { ReturnModelType } from "@typegoose/typegoose";

@Injectable()
export class CatsService {
  constructor(
    @InjectModel(Cat) private readonly catModel: ReturnModelType<typeof Cat>
  ) {}

  async create(createCatDto: { name: string }): Promise<Cat> {
    const createdCat = new this.catModel(createCatDto);
    return await createdCat.save();
  }

  async findAll(): Promise<Cat[] | null> {
    return await this.catModel.find().exec();
  }
}
```

Finally, use the service in a controller!

**cats.controller.ts**

```typescript
import { Controller, Get, Post, Body } from "@nestjs/common";
import { CatsService } from "./cats.service";
import { Cat } from "./cats.model.ts";

@Controller("cats")
export class CatsController {
  constructor(private readonly catsService: CatsService) {}

  @Get()
  async getCats(): Promise<Cat[] | null> {
    return await this.catsService.findAll();
  }

  @Post()
  async create(@Body() cat: Cat): Promise<Cat> {
    return await this.catsService.create(cat);
  }
}
```

2.  @nestjs/common +6.10.1
3.  @nestjs/core +6.10.1
