mongoose - Is there a way to prevent MongoDB adding plural form to collection names?

Question

It all works fine until I want to create a collection named 'Mice' for example. Both Mouses and Mices are unacceptable. Would be good if there is an option to set this in the config. Comments: thanks for the suggestion, I am using Mongoose.

Answer 1

If you name your model 'mouse', Mongoose will actually pluralize the collection name correctly to 'mice' (see source code).

But you can also explicitly name your collection when creating a model by passing it as the third parameter to model:

var Mice = mongoose.model('Mice', MouseSchema, 'Mice');
