Sequelize is returning integer as string - node.js

I using nodejs v4 with sequelize, and I have a model like this:
var Device = sequelize.define('Device', {
id: {
type: DataTypes.BIGINT,
primaryKey: true,
autoIncrement: true
},
tenantId: {
type: DataTypes.BIGINT,
allowNull: false
},
token: {
type: DataTypes.STRING,
allowNull: false
}
}, {
tableName: 'devices'
});
When I select a device by id the type of id is a string, exemple:
Device.findById(9).then( function(result) {
console.log(result.toJSON().id + 10);
});
The output will be 910, rather than 19, so I look at json and a saw this:
{
id: "9"
tenantId: "123"
token: "adsadsdsa"
}
The id in found device is a string, but I defined it as a number...
Doesn't it should be { "id": 9 } ?
How can I select a device with the types that I defined previously?

BIGINT maximum value is 2^63-1, javascript can safely represent up to 2^53. To be on the safe side libraries return those numbers as strings.
If you want to have numbers instead of strings, you can use this library https://github.com/mirek/node-pg-safe-numbers which deals with this issue.

I found a fix to this problem on sequelize repo.
https://github.com/sequelize/sequelize/issues/4523
The pg module used for sequelize returns bigint as string because bigints are not guaranteed to fit into js numbers. So I change my model to use integer (DataTypes.INTEGER)

IMO, a smoother solution is to force parsing of int to int, instead of strings. Checkout this issue and comments.

Trying to put this line before your logic code worked for me, this forces parsing of int8 to int, instead of strings:
require("pg").defaults.parseInt8 = true;
...
try {
const list = await Posts.findAll();
console.log(JSON.stringify(list));
} catch (e) {
console.log(e.message);
}

By default, sequelize try format your results. You can set raw :true for get raw data

Trouble implementing validator for MongoDB Schema

platform: [{
validate: {
validator: array => { //our custom validator, array is the provided array to be validated
const filtered = array.filter((obj, index, self) => self.findIndex(el => el.platformName === obj.platformName) === index); //this removes any duplicates based on object key
return array.length === filtered.length //returns true if the lengths are the same; if the lengths aren't the same that means there was a duplicate key and validation fails
},
message: 'Detected duplicate keys in {VALUE}!',
},
platformName: {
type: String,
enum: Platform, //category must be in this enum
},
link: {
type: String,
},
}],
I'm using the above method to get something like
platform: [{"platformName": "FACEBOOK", "link": "DJNgJD"}, {"platformName": "MEETUP", "link": "DJNgJD"}]
and trying to use this validator I got from stack overflow it self to prevent duplicate key values for platformName key,
but getting the error below. link to stack overflow answer i got this code from How to validate object keys and values in Mongoose Schema?
throw new Error('`' + firstPieceOfPath + '` may not be used as a schema pathname');
Using Ts btw, someone help me figure out what I'm doing wrong

Mask data in Mongoose find operation

The requirement is to mask mobile number and show only last 4 digits. I do not want this to be performed at client instead mask it before sending the response. I am not sure how to modify transaction object to mask the data. I want to check if there is any mongoose function to do this. If not please suggest me the best way to mask a selected field.
Logic to fetch transactions
Transaction.find(query).populate('from','name mobile email').sort({ createdAt : -1 }).skip((page) * limit).limit(limit).exec((err, transaction) =>{
if(transaction){
Transaction.countDocuments({to:id,paymentStatus:"SUCCESS"},function(err,count){
return res.status(200).send({transaction,count:count});
});
}
else if(transaction==null) return res.status(200).send("No Transactions Found");
else if(err) return res.status(400).send("Error Occurred");
});
User.Model.ts - Merchant model is similar with some additional fields
var User= new mongoose.Schema({
email:{type:String,required:"E-Mail address cannot be empty",unique:true},
mobile:{type:String,required:"Mobile number cannot be empty",min : [10,"Please provide a valid 10 digit mobile number"],unique:true},
password:{type:String,required:"Password cannot be empty",minlength : [4,"Password must be more than 4 characters"]},
.......some unrelated fields...
});
Transaction.Model.ts
var transactionSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
from:{ type: mongoose.Schema.Types.ObjectId, required: true, ref: 'User' },
amount : {type:String,required:true},
to:{ type: mongoose.Schema.Types.ObjectId, required: true, ref: 'Merchant' },
paymentStatus:{type : String, default : "INCOMPLETE"},
.......some unrelated fields...
});
Current output
{"transaction":[{"paymentStatus":"SUCCESS","isDisputed":true,"_id":"5eb8e50b3e2adb3b74e85d4f","from":{"_id":"5eb8e50a3e2adb3b74e85d43","name":"John Doe","email":"test#gmail.com","mobile":"9999999999"},"amount":"40","to":"5eb8e50a3e2adb3b74e85d46"}],"count":1}
Expected output
{"transaction":[{"paymentStatus":"SUCCESS","isDisputed":true,"_id":"5eb8e50b3e2adb3b74e85d4f","from":{"_id":"5eb8e50a3e2adb3b74e85d43","name":"John Doe","email":"test#gmail.com","mobile":"*******999"},"amount":"40","to":"5eb8e50a3e2adb3b74e85d46"}],"count":1}
You can use string-masking to mask the fields after you fetch them.
Mongoose plugin, virtuals or getters would also involve you to iterate over the array so the end result is same.
let stringMasking = require('string-masking');
...
transactions = transactions.map(transaction => {
let mask = stringMasking(transaction.from.phone, 0);
transaction.from.phone = mask.response;
return transaction;
});
...
return res.status(200).send({transaction,count:transaction.length});
Also its better to make the password not included in all find queries if not needed. Can be done by :
password: {type: String,select: false}

GraphQL mutation that accepts an array of dynamic size in one request as input with NodeJs

I want to pass an object array of [{questionId1,value1},{questionId2,value2},{questionId3,value3}] of dynamic size in GraphQL Mutation with NodeJS
.........
args: {
input: {
type: new GraphQLNonNull(new GraphQLInputObjectType({
name: 'AssessmentStep3Input',
fields: {
questionId:{
name:'Question ID',
type: new GraphQLNonNull(GraphQLID)
},
value:{
name:'Question Value',
type: new GraphQLNonNull(GraphQLBoolean)
}
}
}))
}
},
.........
How can I do that with the given sample of code?
Thanks
If you want to pass an object array with GraphQL Mutation you need to use "GraphQLList" which allows you to pass an array with dynamic size of given input.
Here is the example
........
........
args: {
input: {
type: new GraphQLNonNull(GraphQLList(new GraphQLInputObjectType({
name: 'AssessmentStep3Input',
fields: {
questionId:{
name:'Question ID',
type: new GraphQLNonNull(GraphQLID)
},
value:{
name:'Question Value',
type: new GraphQLNonNull(GraphQLBoolean)
}
}
}))
)
}
},
........
........
Hope it helps.
Thanks
i just published the article on that, so that you can take a look if you would like to know more detail. This is the repository with the examples, where the createUsers mutation is implemented https://github.com/atherosai/express-graphql-demo/blob/feature/5-modifiers/server/graphql/users/userMutations.js. You can take a look how it is implemented, but in general the above answer is correct. You can input as many objects as you would like to in the array (if you have not implemented some number of items limiting, but it is not there by default).

Mongoose create new data with incremented index-like field

What I want to do:
Whenever I add a new item to the collection (in my case a game), it will have a incremented "index"-like value (in my case I'm naming it index too).
My games collection should looks like:
[
{ "index":0, ... data }
{ "index":1, ... data }
{ "index":2, ... data }
]
The term is so hard to search. I always end up with:
$inc for update. Not this, I want to have incremented number on create.
Schema.index does look like what I want, but somehow it doesn't work at all:
const gameModel = new Schema({
index: {
type: Number,
default: 0
},
players: [{
name: String,
score: Number
}]
}, {
timestamps: {
createdAt: 'date'
}
});
gameModel.index({
index: 1
});
With this I always get index: 0. If I turn off default no index is created.
What do I do now? (I would prefer to keep the _id intact)
You can use a npm package named mongoose-auto-increment which provides this functionality. It is also very easy and well documented

String + autoincrement number on mongoose

I want to create a String + number every time a value is inserted on database (the number must be autoincrement).
Is it possible to do in Schema? Or do I need to do that before the value's inserted on database?
'question' -> String followed by an autoincrement number
var random = [{
question: 'question1'
},{
question: 'question2'
},{
question: 'question3'
},{
question: 'question4'
}];
const RandomSchema = new Schema({
question: {
type: String,
unique: true
}
})
Autoincrement fields in Mongodb, don't work exactly the same way that they do in an RDBMS. There is a lot more overhead involved. Never the less, creating an auto field is a solved problem. There is also a third party mongoose-autoincrement package that make it a lot easier.
Extending, from that. Your problem is a solved problem too. Because
the string part will always be the same
Simply use string concatenation to prepend 'question' to the auto increment field at display time.
Here is what I implemented with one of the approaches #e4c5 pointed out, without the use of a third-party package.
Define add.js as below:
db.counters.insert(
{
_id: "itemid",
seq: 0
}
)
function getNextSequence(id) {
var ret = db.counters.findAndModify(
{
query: { _id: id },
update: { $inc: { seq: 1 } },
new: true
}
);
return ret.seq;
}
db.randoms.insert(
{
question: "question"+getNextSequence("itemid"),
}
)
db.randoms.insert(
{
question: "question"+getNextSequence("itemid"),
}
)
After starting a mongod instance, do mongo < add.js.
