Im trying to get this going or wondering if this is even necessary. I have a local schema I define for my user profiles. What im trying to do is write a code block that checks my local schema with what the database has. If a field is missing, add a default value.
My goal for this is to be able to add fields locally in my schema and have the database update when I add a new field.
My schema is as follows:
import mongoose, { Schema } from "mongoose";
const reqString = {
type: String,
required: true,
};
const reqNumber = {
type: Number,
required: true,
};
const userProfileSchema = new Schema({
//Discord User ID - Primary Key
_id: reqString,
wallet: reqNumber,
bank: reqNumber,
net_worth: reqNumber,
classID: reqNumber,
});
const name = "core-userprofile";
export default mongoose.models[name] ||
mongoose.model(name, userProfileSchema, name);
I have a class that pulls the user profile for the rest of the code to access. Id like a function in there that looks at the local schema, realizes there isnt classID, figures out its a type of number, and just places 0 there.
I believe from what im understanding I can use update/upsert when accessing it. Im more wondering if there is a way to sync these two and add/delete anything that doesn't match the local version.
Thanks in advance!
