Mongoose ODM saves wrong model name in MongoDB collection

javascript node.js mongoose odm

Seems like they set a rule on words ending with "fe" because they normally convert to plural as "ves" (knife -> knives).

You can set your own collection name by adding another argument to Schema:

const safeSchema = new Schema({ name: String }, { collection: 'safes' })

javascript node.js mongoose odm

Mongooses util.toCollectionName generates a name of the collection based on the Schema name. It does use some regexes, one of them being:

  [/(?:([^f])fe|([lr])f)$/gi, '$1$2ves'],

Which maches safe and replaces it with saves.
