Use mongodb driver directly?

Hi @wzrdtales sorry if I’m asking something that has already been posted - but I didn’t find anything in the documentation or in the existing issues.

I wanted to ask if it is possible to use the mongodb driver directly? Like this for example:

exports.up = function (db) {
  return db.driver.collectionName.find({id: 'ID'}).then((collection) => {
    collection.property = 'newValue';
    return collection.save();
  });
}

The idea: I want to only update one property in one entry in the DB.

The reason: We have “base data” defined in our app that get’s initialized (and updated) with every release. This base data needs maintenance and it would be awesome if maintenance could be done with node-db-migrate.

Thanks for answering!

Use it like this:

return db._run('getDbInstance')
        .then(dbDriver => {})

You could faced to migration terminating problem. Just close the dbDriver to avoid it.

return db._run('getDbInstance').then((dbDriver) => {
    return dbDriver.collection('collection_name')
      .findAll({
        prop: 'value'
      })
      .then(() => {
        return dbDriver.close();
      });
  });
