mquery
is a fluent mongodb query builder designed to run in multiple environments.
- fluent query builder api
- custom base query support
- MongoDB 2.4 geoJSON support
- method + option combinations validation
- node.js driver compatibility
- environment detection
- debug support
- separated collection implementations for maximum flexibility
require('mongodb').connect(uri, function (err, db) {
if (err) return handleError(err);
// get a collection
var collection = db.collection('artists');
// pass it to the constructor
mquery(collection).find({..}, callback);
// or pass it to the collection method
mquery().find({..}).collection(collection).exec(callback)
// or better yet, create a custom query constructor that has it always set
var Artist = mquery(collection).toConstructor();
Artist().find(..).where(..).exec(callback)
})
mquery
requires a collection object to work with. In the example above we just pass the collection object created using the official MongoDB driver.

Declares this query a find query. Optionally pass a match clause and / or callback. If a callback is passed the query is executed.
mquery().find()
mquery().find(match)
mquery().find(callback)
mquery().find(match, function (err, docs) {
assert(Array.isArray(docs));
})
Declares this query a findOne query. Optionally pass a match clause and / or callback. If a callback is passed the query is executed.
mquery().findOne()
mquery().findOne(match)
mquery().findOne(callback)
mquery().findOne(match, function (err, doc) {
if (doc) {
// the document may not be found
console.log(doc);
}
})
Declares this query a count query. Optionally pass a match clause and / or callback. If a callback is passed the query is executed.
mquery().count()
mquery().count(match)
mquery().count(callback)
mquery().count(match, function (err, number){
console.log('we found %d matching documents', number);
})
Declares this query a remove query. Optionally pass a match clause and / or callback. If a callback is passed the query is executed.
mquery().remove()
mquery().remove(match)
mquery().remove(callback)
mquery().remove(match, function (err){})
Declares this query an update query. Optionally pass an update document, match clause, options or callback. If a callback is passed, the query is executed. To force execution without passing a callback, run update(true)
.
mquery().update()
mquery().update(match, updateDocument)
mquery().update(match, updateDocument, options)
// the following all execute the command
mquery().update(callback)
mquery().update({$set: updateDocument, callback)
mquery().update(match, updateDocument, callback)
mquery().update(match, updateDocument, options, function (err, result){})
mquery().update(true) // executes (unsafe write)
All paths passed that are not $atomic
operations will become $set
ops. For example:
mquery(collection).where({ _id: id }).update({ title: 'words' }, callback)
becomes
collection.update({ _id: id }, { $set: { title: 'words' }}, callback)
This behavior can be overridden using the overwrite
option (see below).
Options are passed to the setOptions()
method.
- overwrite
Passing an empty object { }
as the update document will result in a no-op unless the overwrite
option is passed. Without the overwrite
option, the update operation will be ignored and the callback executed without sending the command to MongoDB to prevent accidently overwritting documents in the collection.
var q = mquery(collection).where({ _id: id }).setOptions({ overwrite: true });
q.update({ }, callback); // overwrite with an empty doc
The overwrite
option isn't just for empty objects, it also provides a means to override the default $set
conversion and send the update document as is.
// create a base query
var base = mquery({ _id: 108 }).collection(collection).toConstructor();
base().findOne(function (err, doc) {
console.log(doc); // { _id: 108, name: 'cajon' })
base().setOptions({ overwrite: true }).update({ changed: true }, function (err) {
base.findOne(function (err, doc) {
console.log(doc); // { _id: 108, changed: true }) - the doc was overwritten
});
});
})
- multi
Updates only modify a single document by default. To update multiple documents, set the multi
option to true
.
mquery()
.collection(coll)
.update({ name: /^match/ }, { $addToSet: { arr: 4 }}, { multi: true }, callback)
// another way of doing it
mquery({ name: /^match/ })
.collection(coll)
.setOptions({ multi: true })
.update({ $addToSet: { arr: 4 }}, callback)
// update multiple documents with an empty doc
var q = mquery(collection).where({ name: /^match/ });
q.setOptions({ multi: true, overwrite: true })
q.update({ });
q.update(function (err, result) {
console.log(arguments);
});
Declares this query a findAndModify with update query. Optionally pass a match clause, update document, options, or callback. If a callback is passed, the query is executed.
When executed, the first matching document (if found) is modified according to the update document and passed back to the callback.
Options are passed to the setOptions()
method.
returnDocument
: string -'after'
to return the modified document rather than the original. defaults to'before'
upsert
: boolean - creates the object if it doesn't exist. defaults to falsesort
: if multiple docs are found by the match condition, sets the sort order to choose which doc to update
query.findOneAndUpdate()
query.findOneAndUpdate(updateDocument)
query.findOneAndUpdate(match, updateDocument)
query.findOneAndUpdate(match, updateDocument, options)
// the following all execute the command
query.findOneAndUpdate(callback)
query.findOneAndUpdate(updateDocument, callback)
query.findOneAndUpdate(match, updateDocument, callback)
query.findOneAndUpdate(match, updateDocument, options, function (err, doc) {
if (doc) {
// the document may not be found
console.log(doc);
}
})
Declares this query a findAndModify with remove query. Alias of findOneAndDelete. Optionally pass a match clause, options, or callback. If a callback is passed, the query is executed.
When executed, the first matching document (if found) is modified according to the update document, removed from the collection and passed to the callback.
Options are passed to the setOptions()
method.
sort
: if multiple docs are found by the condition, sets the sort order to choose which doc to modify and remove
A.where().findOneAndDelete()
A.where().findOneAndRemove()
A.where().findOneAndRemove(match)
A.where().findOneAndRemove(match, options)
// the following all execute the command
A.where().findOneAndRemove(callback)
A.where().findOneAndRemove(match, callback)
A.where().findOneAndRemove(match, options, function (err, doc) {
if (doc) {
// the document may not be found
console.log(doc);
}
})
Declares this query a distinct query. Optionally pass the distinct field, a match clause or callback. If a callback is passed the query is executed.
mquery().distinct()
mquery().distinct(match)
mquery().distinct(match, field)
mquery().distinct(field)
// the following all execute the command
mquery().distinct(callback)
mquery().distinct(field, callback)
mquery().distinct(match, callback)
mquery().distinct(match, field, function (err, result) {
console.log(result);
})
Executes the query.
mquery().findOne().where('route').intersects(polygon).exec(function (err, docs){})
Executes the query and returns a stream.
var stream = mquery().find().stream(options);
stream.on('data', cb);
stream.on('close', fn);
Note: this only works with find()
operations.
Note: returns the stream object directly from the node-mongodb-native driver. (currently streams1 type stream). Any options will be passed along to the driver method.

// 1 means include, 0 means exclude
mquery().select({ name: 1, address: 1, _id: 0 })
// or
mquery().select('name address -_id')
When passing a string, prefixing a path with -
will flag that path as excluded. When a path does not have the -
prefix, it is included.
// include a and b, exclude c
query.select('a b -c');
// or you may use object notation, useful when
// you have keys already prefixed with a "-"
query.select({a: 1, b: 1, c: 0});
Cannot be used with distinct()

mquery().where('loc').within([], [], []) // polygon
mquery().where('loc').within([], []) // box
mquery().where('loc').within({ type: 'LineString', coordinates: [...] }); // geometry
As of mquery 2.0, $geoWithin
is used by default. This impacts you if running MongoDB < 2.4. To alter this behavior, see mquery.use$geoWithin.
Must be used after where()
.
Specifies a path
for use with chaining
// instead of writing:
mquery().find({age: {$gte: 21, $lte: 65}});
// we can instead write:
mquery().where('age').gte(21).lte(65);
// passing query conditions is permitted too
mquery().find().where({ name: 'vonderful' })
// chaining
mquery()
.where('age').gte(21).lte(65)
.where({ 'name': /^vonderful/i })
.where('friends').slice(10)

query.$where(function () {
return this.comments.length > 10 || this.name.length > 5;
})
Only use $where
when you have a condition that cannot be met using other MongoDB operators like $lt
. Be sure to read about all of its caveats before using.
Specifies the batchSize option.
query.batchSize(100)
Cannot be used with distinct()
.
Specifies the collation option.
query.collation({ locale: "en_US", strength: 1 })
Specifies the comment option.
query.comment('login query');
Cannot be used with distinct()
.
Sets query hints.
mquery().hint({ indexA: 1, indexB: -1 })
Cannot be used with distinct()
.
Requests acknowledgement that this operation has been persisted to MongoDB's on-disk journal.
This option is only valid for operations that write to the database:
deleteOne()
deleteMany()
findOneAndDelete()
findOneAndUpdate()
remove()
update()
updateOne()
updateMany()
Defaults to the j
value if it is specified in writeConcern
mquery().j(true);
Specifies the limit option.
query.limit(20)
Cannot be used with distinct()
.
Specifies the maxScan option.
query.maxScan(100)

Cannot be used with distinct()
.
Sets the query sort order.
If an object is passed, key values allowed are asc
, desc
, ascending
, descending
, 1
, and -1
.
If a string is passed, it must be a space delimited list of path names. The sort order of each path is ascending unless the path name is prefixed with -
which will be treated as descending.
// these are equivalent
query.sort({ field: 'asc', test: -1 });
query.sort('field -test');
Cannot be used with distinct()
.
Sets the readPreference option for the query.
mquery().read('primary')
mquery().read('p') // same as primary
mquery().read('primaryPreferred')
mquery().read('pp') // same as primaryPreferred
mquery().read('secondary')
mquery().read('s') // same as secondary
mquery().read('secondaryPreferred')
mquery().read('sp') // same as secondaryPreferred
mquery().read('nearest')
mquery().read('n') // same as nearest
mquery().setReadPreference('primary') // alias of .read()
primary
- (default) Read from primary only. Operations will produce an error if primary is unavailable. Cannot be combined with tags.secondary
- Read from secondary if available, otherwise error.primaryPreferred
- Read from primary if available, otherwise a secondary.secondaryPreferred
- Read from a secondary if available, otherwise read from the primary.nearest
- All operations read from among the nearest candidates, but unlike other modes, this option will include both the primary and all secondaries in the random selection.

To keep the separation of concerns between mquery
and your driver
clean, mquery#read()
no longer handles specifying a second tags
argument as of version 0.5.
If you need to specify tags, pass any non-string argument as the first argument.
mquery
will pass this argument untouched to your collections methods later.
For example:
// example of specifying tags using the Node.js driver
var ReadPref = require('mongodb').ReadPreference;
var preference = new ReadPref('secondary', [{ dc:'sf', s: 1 },{ dc:'ma', s: 2 }]);
mquery(..).read(preference).exec();

Sets the readConcern option for the query.
// local
mquery().readConcern('local')
mquery().readConcern('l')
mquery().r('l')
// available
mquery().readConcern('available')
mquery().readConcern('a')
mquery().r('a')

findOneAndDelete()
findOneAndUpdate()
remove()
update()
updateOne()
updateMany()
mquery().writeConcern(0)

mquery().w(1) // w is alias of writeConcern
writeConcern({ w: <value>
, j: <boolean>
, wtimeout: <number>
}`)
- the w option to request acknowledgement that the write operation has propagated to a specified number of mongod instances or to mongod instances with specified tags
- the j option to request acknowledgement that the write operation has been written to the journal
- the wtimeout option to specify a time limit to prevent write operations from blocking indefinitely
Can be break down to use the following syntax:
mquery().w(<value>

deprecated use read() preferences instead if on mongodb >= 2.2
query.slaveOk() // true
query.slaveOk(true)
query.slaveOk(false)
Specifies this query as a snapshot query.
mquery().snapshot() // true
mquery().snapshot(true)
mquery().snapshot(false)
Cannot be used with distinct()
.
Sets tailable option.
mquery().tailable() <== true
mquery().tailable(true)
mquery().tailable(false)
Cannot be used with distinct()
.
Specifies a time limit, in milliseconds, for the write concern. If w > 1
, it is maximum amount of time to
wait for this write to propagate through the replica set before this operation fails. The default is 0
, which means no timeout.
This option is only valid for operations that write to the database:
deleteOne()
deleteMany()
findOneAndDelete()
findOneAndUpdate()
remove()
update()
updateOne()
updateMany()
Defaults to wtimeout
value if it is specified in writeConcern
mquery().wtimeout(2000)
mquery().wTimeout(2000)
Sets the querys collection.
mquery().collection(aCollection)
Executes the query and returns a promise which will be resolved with the query results or rejected if the query responds with an error.
mquery().find(..).then(success, error);
This is very useful when combined with co or koa, which automatically resolve promise-like objects for you.
co(function*(){
var doc = yield mquery().findOne({ _id: 499 });
console.log(doc); // { _id: 499, name: 'amazing', .. }
})();
NOTE:
The returned promise is a bluebird promise but this is customizable. If you want to
use your favorite promise library, simply set mquery.Promise = YourPromiseConstructor
.
Your Promise
must be promises A+ compliant.
Returns a thunk which when called runs the query's exec
method passing the results to the callback.
var thunk = mquery(collection).find({..}).thunk();
thunk(function(err, results) {
})
Merges other mquery or match condition objects into this one. When an mquery instance is passed, its match conditions, field selection and options are merged.
var drum = mquery({ type: 'drum' }).collection(instruments);
var redDrum = mquery({ color: 'red' }).merge(drum);
redDrum.count(function (err, n) {
console.log('there are %d red drums', n);
})
Internally uses mquery.canMerge
to determine validity.
Sets query options.
mquery().setOptions({ collection: coll, limit: 20 })

Set a function to trace this query. Useful for profiling or logging.
function traceFunction (method, queryInfo, query) {
console.log('starting ' + method + ' query');
return function (err, result, millis) {
console.log('finished ' + method + ' query in ' + millis + 'ms');
};
}
mquery().setTraceFunction(traceFunction).findOne({name: 'Joe'}, cb);
The trace function is passed (method, queryInfo, query)
- method is the name of the method being called (e.g. findOne)
- queryInfo contains information about the query:
- conditions: query conditions/criteria
- options: options such as sort, fields, etc
- doc: document being updated
- query is the query object
The trace function should return a callback function which accepts:
- err: error, if any
- result: result, if any
- millis: time spent waiting for query result
NOTE: stream requests are not traced.
Similar to setTraceFunction()
but automatically applied to all queries.
mquery.setTraceFunction(traceFunction);
Determines if conditions
can be merged using mquery().merge()
.
var query = mquery({ type: 'drum' });
var okToMerge = mquery.canMerge(anObject)
if (okToMerge) {
query.merge(anObject);
}
MongoDB 2.4 introduced the $geoWithin
operator which replaces and is 100% backward compatible with $within
. As of mquery 0.2, we default to using $geoWithin
for all within()
calls.
If you are running MongoDB < 2.4 this will be problematic. To force mquery
to be backward compatible and always use $within
, set the mquery.use$geoWithin
flag to false
.
mquery.use$geoWithin = false;
Often times we want custom base queries that encapsulate predefined criteria. With mquery
this is easy. First create the query you want to reuse and call its toConstructor()
method which returns a new subclass of mquery
that retains all options and criteria of the original.
var greatMovies = mquery(movieCollection).where('rating').gte(4.5).toConstructor();
// use it!
greatMovies().count(function (err, n) {
console.log('There are %d great movies', n);
});
greatMovies().where({ name: /^Life/ }).select('name').find(function (err, docs) {
console.log(docs);
});
Method and options combinations are checked for validity at runtime to prevent creation of invalid query constructs. For example, a distinct
query does not support specifying options like hint
or field selection. In this case an error will be thrown so you can catch these mistakes in development.
Debug mode is provided through the use of the debug module. To enable:
DEBUG=mquery node yourprogram.js
Read the debug module documentation for more details.
mquery
clones query arguments before passing them to a collection
method for execution.
This prevents accidental side-affects to the objects you pass.
To clone ObjectIds
we need to make some assumptions.
First, to check if an object is an ObjectId
, we check its constructors name. If it matches either
ObjectId
or ObjectID
we clone it.
To clone ObjectIds
, we call its optional clone
method. If a clone
method does not exist, we fall
back to calling new obj.constructor(obj.id)
. We assume, for compatibility with the
Node.js driver, that the ObjectId
instance has a public id
property and that
when creating an ObjectId
instance we can pass that id
as an argument.
mquery
supports specifying Read Preferences to control from which MongoDB node your query will read.
The Read Preferences spec also support specifying tags. To pass tags, some
drivers (Node.js driver) require passing a special constructor that handles both the read preference and its tags.
If you need to specify tags, pass an instance of your drivers ReadPreference constructor or roll your own. mquery
will store whatever you provide and pass later to your collection during execution.
