Mongo Indexes

[sean-hill]

Hey, I was curious what the best practice would be to setup indexes on my mongo DB database while using this plugin with my Seneca services. For example setting an index for an email address field for a user document. Each group (roles) of related services are in a separate project so I can deploy to different instances. Thanks!

Any help with this?

I set my indexes up in the plugin init action.

seneca.add({
  init: 'PluginName'
}, function(msg, done) {
  const entity = seneca.make();
  
  entity.native$(function (err, db) {
    db.ensureIndex(...);
  })
})

Database configuration should be managed separately from Seneca via Kubernetes, Pulumi, Ansible, etc
