MongoDB: How to avoid name doubles in collection

javascript regex mongodb mongoose mongodb-query

You can do this:

Customer.find({        name: { $regex: new RegExp("^" +name.replace(/\s/g, ''), "i") }      })

but since mongoose 3.4, it is recommended to use case sensitive index: documentation here

so you can simply do:

Customer.find({         name: name.replace(/\s/g, '')        })       .collation( { locale: 'en', strength: 2 } )
