Trying to do a bulk upsert with Mongoose. What's the cleanest way to do this?

Question

I have a collection that holds documents that contains three fields: first_name, last_name, and age. I\'m trying to figure out what query in Mongoose I can use to do a bulk

Answer 1

I have released a small plugin for Mongoose that exposes a static upsertMany method to perform bulk upsert operations with a promise interface. This should provide a very clean way of doing bulk upserts with Mongoose, while retaining schema validation etc:

MyModel.upsertMany(items, ['matchField', 'other.nestedMatchField']);

You can find this plugin on npm or Github:
