-# mquery
-
-`mquery` is a fluent mongodb query builder designed to run in multiple environments.
-
-[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/aheckmann/mquery.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/aheckmann/mquery)
-[![NPM version](https://badge.fury.io/js/mquery.svg)](http://badge.fury.io/js/mquery)
-
-[![npm](https://nodei.co/npm/mquery.png)](https://www.npmjs.com/package/mquery)
-
-## Features
-
- - fluent query builder api
- - custom base query support
- - MongoDB 2.4 geoJSON support
- - method + option combinations validation
- - node.js driver compatibility
- - environment detection
- - [debug](https://github.com/visionmedia/debug) support
- - separated collection implementations for maximum flexibility
-
-## Use
-
-```js
-require('mongodb').connect(uri, function (err, db) {
- if (err) return handleError(err);
-
- // get a collection
- var collection = db.collection('artists');
-
- // pass it to the constructor
- mquery(collection).find({..}, callback);
-
- // or pass it to the collection method
- mquery().find({..}).collection(collection).exec(callback)
-
- // or better yet, create a custom query constructor that has it always set
- var Artist = mquery(collection).toConstructor();
- Artist().find(..).where(..).exec(callback)
-})
-```
-
-`mquery` requires a collection object to work with. In the example above we just pass the collection object created using the official [MongoDB driver](https://github.com/mongodb/node-mongodb-native).

-
-### find()
-
-Declares this query a _find_ query. Optionally pass a match clause and / or callback. If a callback is passed the query is executed.
-
-```js
-mquery().find()
-mquery().find(match)
-mquery().find(callback)
-mquery().find(match, function (err, docs) {
- assert(Array.isArray(docs));
-})
-```
-
-### findOne()
-
-Declares this query a _findOne_ query. Optionally pass a match clause and / or callback. If a callback is passed the query is executed.
-
-```js
-mquery().findOne()
-mquery().findOne(match)
-mquery().findOne(callback)
-mquery().findOne(match, function (err, doc) {
- if (doc) {
- // the document may not be found
- console.log(doc);
- }
-})
-```
-
-### count()
-
-Declares this query a _count_ query. Optionally pass a match clause and / or callback. If a callback is passed the query is executed.
-
-```js
-mquery().count()
-mquery().count(match)
-mquery().count(callback)
-mquery().count(match, function (err, number){
- console.log('we found %d matching documents', number);
-})
-```
-
-### remove()
-
-Declares this query a _remove_ query. Optionally pass a match clause and / or callback. If a callback is passed the query is executed.
-
-```js
-mquery().remove()
-mquery().remove(match)
-mquery().remove(callback)
-mquery().remove(match, function (err){})
-```
-
-### update()
-
-Declares this query an _update_ query. Optionally pass an update document, match clause, options or callback. If a callback is passed, the query is executed. To force execution without passing a callback, run `update(true)`.
-
-```js
-mquery().update()
-mquery().update(match, updateDocument)
-mquery().update(match, updateDocument, options)
-
-// the following all execute the command
-mquery().update(callback)
-mquery().update({$set: updateDocument, callback)
-mquery().update(match, updateDocument, callback)
-mquery().update(match, updateDocument, options, function (err, result){})
-mquery().update(true) // executes (unsafe write)
-```
-
-##### the update document
-
-All paths passed that are not `$atomic` operations will become `$set` ops. For example:
-
-```js
-mquery(collection).where({ _id: id }).update({ title: 'words' }, callback)
-```
-
-becomes
-
-```js
-collection.update({ _id: id }, { $set: { title: 'words' }}, callback)
-```
-
-This behavior can be overridden using the `overwrite` option (see below).
-
-##### options
-
-Options are passed to the `setOptions()` method.
-
-- overwrite
-
-Passing an empty object `{ }` as the update document will result in a no-op unless the `overwrite` option is passed. Without the `overwrite` option, the update operation will be ignored and the callback executed without sending the command to MongoDB to prevent accidently overwritting documents in the collection.
-
-```js
-var q = mquery(collection).where({ _id: id }).setOptions({ overwrite: true });
-q.update({ }, callback); // overwrite with an empty doc
-```
-
-The `overwrite` option isn't just for empty objects, it also provides a means to override the default `$set` conversion and send the update document as is.
-
-```js
-// create a base query
-var base = mquery({ _id: 108 }).collection(collection).toConstructor();
-
-base().findOne(function (err, doc) {
- console.log(doc); // { _id: 108, name: 'cajon' })
-
- base().setOptions({ overwrite: true }).update({ changed: true }, function (err) {
- base.findOne(function (err, doc) {
- console.log(doc); // { _id: 108, changed: true }) - the doc was overwritten
- });
- });
-})
-```
-
-- multi
-
-Updates only modify a single document by default. To update multiple documents, set the `multi` option to `true`.
-
-```js
-mquery()
- .collection(coll)
- .update({ name: /^match/ }, { $addToSet: { arr: 4 }}, { multi: true }, callback)
-
-// another way of doing it
-mquery({ name: /^match/ })
- .collection(coll)
- .setOptions({ multi: true })
- .update({ $addToSet: { arr: 4 }}, callback)
-
-// update multiple documents with an empty doc
-var q = mquery(collection).where({ name: /^match/ });
-q.setOptions({ multi: true, overwrite: true })
-q.update({ });
-q.update(function (err, result) {
- console.log(arguments);
-});
-```
-
-### findOneAndUpdate()
-
-Declares this query a _findAndModify_ with update query. Optionally pass a match clause, update document, options, or callback. If a callback is passed, the query is executed.
-
-When executed, the first matching document (if found) is modified according to the update document and passed back to the callback.
-
-##### options
-
-Options are passed to the `setOptions()` method.
-
-- `new`: boolean - true to return the modified document rather than the original. defaults to true
-- `upsert`: boolean - creates the object if it doesn't exist. defaults to false
-- `sort`: if multiple docs are found by the match condition, sets the sort order to choose which doc to update
-
-```js
-query.findOneAndUpdate()
-query.findOneAndUpdate(updateDocument)
-query.findOneAndUpdate(match, updateDocument)
-query.findOneAndUpdate(match, updateDocument, options)
-
-// the following all execute the command
-query.findOneAndUpdate(callback)
-query.findOneAndUpdate(updateDocument, callback)
-query.findOneAndUpdate(match, updateDocument, callback)
-query.findOneAndUpdate(match, updateDocument, options, function (err, doc) {
- if (doc) {
- // the document may not be found
- console.log(doc);
- }
-})
- ```
-
-### findOneAndRemove()
-
-Declares this query a _findAndModify_ with remove query. Alias of findOneAndDelete.
-Optionally pass a match clause, options, or callback. If a callback is passed, the query is executed.
-
-When executed, the first matching document (if found) is modified according to the update document, removed from the collection and passed to the callback.
-
-##### options
-
-Options are passed to the `setOptions()` method.
-
-- `sort`: if multiple docs are found by the condition, sets the sort order to choose which doc to modify and remove
-
-```js
-A.where().findOneAndDelete()
-A.where().findOneAndRemove()
-A.where().findOneAndRemove(match)
-A.where().findOneAndRemove(match, options)
-
-// the following all execute the command
-A.where().findOneAndRemove(callback)
-A.where().findOneAndRemove(match, callback)
-A.where().findOneAndRemove(match, options, function (err, doc) {
- if (doc) {
- // the document may not be found
- console.log(doc);
- }
-})
- ```
-
-### distinct()
-
-Declares this query a _distinct_ query. Optionally pass the distinct field, a match clause or callback. If a callback is passed the query is executed.
-
-```js
-mquery().distinct()
-mquery().distinct(match)
-mquery().distinct(match, field)
-mquery().distinct(field)
-
-// the following all execute the command
-mquery().distinct(callback)
-mquery().distinct(field, callback)
-mquery().distinct(match, callback)
-mquery().distinct(match, field, function (err, result) {
- console.log(result);
-})
-```
-
-### exec()
-
-Executes the query.
-
-```js
-mquery().findOne().where('route').intersects(polygon).exec(function (err, docs){})
-```
-
-### stream()
-
-Executes the query and returns a stream.
-
-```js
-var stream = mquery().find().stream(options);
-stream.on('data', cb);
-stream.on('close', fn);
-```
-
-Note: this only works with `find()` operations.
-
-Note: returns the stream object directly from the node-mongodb-native driver. (currently streams1 type stream). Any options will be passed along to the [driver method](http://mongodb.github.io/node-mongodb-native/api-generated/cursor.html#stream).

-
-##### String syntax
-
-When passing a string, prefixing a path with `-` will flag that path as excluded. When a path does not have the `-` prefix, it is included.
-
-```js
-// include a and b, exclude c
-query.select('a b -c');
-
-// or you may use object notation, useful when
-// you have keys already prefixed with a "-"
-query.select({a: 1, b: 1, c: 0});
-```
-
-_Cannot be used with `distinct()`._
-
-### selected()

-query.selectedExclusively() // true
-```
-
-### selectedExclusively()
-
-Determines if the query has selected any fields exclusively.
-
-```js
-var query = mquery().select('-name');
-query.selectedExclusively() // true
-
-var query = mquery();
-query.selected() // false
-query.select('name');
-query.selectedExclusively() // false
-query.selectedInclusively() // true
-```
-
-### size()
-
-Specifies a `$size` query condition.
-

-```
-
-[MongoDB Documentation](http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/operator/size/)
-
-### slice()
-
-Specifies a `$slice` projection for a `path`
-
-```js
-mquery().where('comments').slice(5)
-mquery().where('comments').slice(-5)
-mquery().where('comments').slice([-10, 5])
-```
-
-[MongoDB Documentation](http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/projection/slice/)
-
-### within()
-
-Sets a `$geoWithin` or `$within` argument for geo-spatial queries.
-
-```js
-mquery().within().box()
-mquery().within().circle()
-mquery().within().geometry()
-
-mquery().where('loc').within({ center: [50,50], radius: 10, unique: true, spherical: true });
-mquery().where('loc').within({ box: [[40.73, -73.9], [40.7, -73.988]] });
-mquery().where('loc').within({ polygon: [[],[],[],[]] });
-
-mquery().where('loc').within([], [], []) // polygon
-mquery().where('loc').within([], []) // box
-mquery().where('loc').within({ type: 'LineString', coordinates: [...] }); // geometry
-```
-
-As of mquery 2.0, `$geoWithin` is used by default. This impacts you if running MongoDB < 2.4. To alter this behavior, see [mquery.use$geoWithin](#mqueryusegeowithin).
-
-**Must** be used after `where()`.
-
-[MongoDB Documentation](http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/operator/geoWithin/)
-
-### where()
-
-Specifies a `path` for use with chaining
-
-```js
-// instead of writing:
-mquery().find({age: {$gte: 21, $lte: 65}});
-
-// we can instead write:
-mquery().where('age').gte(21).lte(65);
-
-// passing query conditions is permitted too
-mquery().find().where({ name: 'vonderful' })
-
-// chaining
-mquery()
-.where('age').gte(21).lte(65)
-.where({ 'name': /^vonderful/i })
-.where('friends').slice(10)
-.exec(callback)
-```
-
-### $where()
-
-Specifies a `$where` condition.
-
-Use `$where` when you need to select documents using a JavaScript expression.
-
-```js
-query.$where('this.comments.length > 10 || this.name.length > 5').exec(callback)
-
-query.$where(function () {
- return this.comments.length > 10 || this.name.length > 5;
-})
-```
-
-Only use `$where` when you have a condition that cannot be met using other MongoDB operators like `$lt`. Be sure to read about all of [its caveats](http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/operator/where/) before using.

-
-mquery().read('nearest')
-mquery().read('n') // same as nearest
-
-mquery().setReadPreference('primary') // alias of .read()
-```
-
-##### Preferences:
-
-- `primary` - (default) Read from primary only. Operations will produce an error if primary is unavailable. Cannot be combined with tags.
-- `secondary` - Read from secondary if available, otherwise error.
-- `primaryPreferred` - Read from primary if available, otherwise a secondary.
-- `secondaryPreferred` - Read from a secondary if available, otherwise read from the primary.
-- `nearest` - All operations read from among the nearest candidates, but unlike other modes, this option will include both the primary and all secondaries in the random selection.
-
-Aliases
-
-- `p` primary
-- `pp` primaryPreferred
-- `s` secondary
-- `sp` secondaryPreferred
-- `n` nearest
-
-##### Preference Tags:
-
-To keep the separation of concerns between `mquery` and your driver
-clean, `mquery#read()` no longer handles specifying a second `tags` argument as of version 0.5.
-If you need to specify tags, pass any non-string argument as the first argument.
-`mquery` will pass this argument untouched to your collections methods later.
-For example:
-
-```js
-// example of specifying tags using the Node.js driver
-var ReadPref = require('mongodb').ReadPreference;
-var preference = new ReadPref('secondary', [{ dc:'sf', s: 1 },{ dc:'ma', s: 2 }]);
-mquery(..).read(preference).exec();
-```
-
-Read more about how to use read preferences [here](http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/applications/replication/#read-preference) and [here](http://mongodb.github.com/node-mongodb-native/driver-articles/anintroductionto1_1and2_2.html#read-preferences).
-
-
-### readConcern()
-
-Sets the readConcern option for the query.
-
-```js
-// local
-mquery().readConcern('local')
-mquery().readConcern('l')
-mquery().r('l')
-
-// available
-mquery().readConcern('available')
-mquery().readConcern('a')
-mquery().r('a')
-
-// majority
-mquery().readConcern('majority')
-mquery().readConcern('m')
-mquery().r('m')
-
-// linearizable
-mquery().readConcern('linearizable')
-mquery().readConcern('lz')
-mquery().r('lz')
-
-// snapshot
-mquery().readConcern('snapshot')
-mquery().readConcern('s')
-mquery().r('s')
-```
-
-##### Read Concern Level:
-
-- `local` - The query returns from the instance with no guarantee guarantee that the data has been written to a majority of the replica set members (i.e. may be rolled back). (MongoDB 3.2+)
-- `available` - The query returns from the instance with no guarantee guarantee that the data has been written to a majority of the replica set members (i.e. may be rolled back). (MongoDB 3.6+)
-- `majority` - The query returns the data that has been acknowledged by a majority of the replica set members. The documents returned by the read operation are durable, even in the event of failure. (MongoDB 3.2+)
-- `linearizable` - The query returns data that reflects all successful majority-acknowledged writes that completed prior to the start of the read operation. The query may wait for concurrently executing writes to propagate to a majority of replica set members before returning results. (MongoDB 3.4+)
-- `snapshot` - Only available for operations within multi-document transactions. Upon transaction commit with write concern "majority", the transaction operations are guaranteed to have read from a snapshot of majority-committed data. (MongoDB 4.0+)
-
-Aliases
-
-- `l` local
-- `a` available
-- `m` majority
-- `lz` linearizable
-- `s` snapshot

-
-### writeConcern()
-
-Sets the writeConcern option for the query.
-
-This option is only valid for operations that write to the database:
-
-- `deleteOne()`
-- `deleteMany()`
-- `findOneAndDelete()`
-- `findOneAndUpdate()`
-- `remove()`
-- `update()`
-- `updateOne()`
-- `updateMany()`
-
-```js
-mquery().writeConcern(0)
-mquery().writeConcern(1)
-mquery().writeConcern({ w: 1, j: true, wtimeout: 2000 })
-mquery().writeConcern('majority')
-mquery().writeConcern('m') // same as majority
-mquery().writeConcern('tagSetName') // if the tag set is 'm', use .writeConcern({ w: 'm' }) instead
-mquery().w(1) // w is alias of writeConcern
-```
-
-##### Write Concern:
-
-writeConcern({ w: `<value>`, j: `<boolean>`, wtimeout: `<number>` }`)
-
-- the w option to request acknowledgement that the write operation has propagated to a specified number of mongod instances or to mongod instances with specified tags
-- the j option to request acknowledgement that the write operation has been written to the journal
-- the wtimeout option to specify a time limit to prevent write operations from blocking indefinitely
-
-Can be break down to use the following syntax:
-
-mquery().w(`<value>`).j(`<boolean>`).wtimeout(`<number>`)
-
-Read more about how to use write concern [here](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/write-concern/)
-
-### slaveOk()
-
-Sets the slaveOk option. `true` allows reading from secondaries.
-
-**deprecated** use [read()](#read) preferences instead if on mongodb >= 2.2
-
-```js
-query.slaveOk() // true
-query.slaveOk(true)
-query.slaveOk(false)
-```
-
-[MongoDB documentation](http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/method/rs.slaveOk/)
-
-### snapshot()
-
-Specifies this query as a snapshot query.
-
-```js
-mquery().snapshot() // true
-mquery().snapshot(true)
-mquery().snapshot(false)
-```
-
-_Cannot be used with `distinct()`._
-
-[MongoDB documentation](http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/operator/snapshot/)
-
-### tailable()
-
-Sets tailable option.
-
-```js
-mquery().tailable() <== true
-mquery().tailable(true)
-mquery().tailable(false)
-```
-
-_Cannot be used with `distinct()`._
-
-[MongoDB Documentation](http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/create-tailable-cursor/)
-
-### wtimeout()
-
-Specifies a time limit, in milliseconds, for the write concern. If `w > 1`, it is maximum amount of time to
-wait for this write to propagate through the replica set before this operation fails. The default is `0`, which means no timeout.
-
-This option is only valid for operations that write to the database:
-
-- `deleteOne()`
-- `deleteMany()`
-- `findOneAndDelete()`
-- `findOneAndUpdate()`
-- `remove()`
-- `update()`
-- `updateOne()`
-- `updateMany()`
-
-Defaults to `wtimeout` value if it is specified in [writeConcern](#writeconcern)
-
-```js
-mquery().wtimeout(2000)
-mquery().wTimeout(2000)
-```
-
-## Helpers
-
-### collection()
-
-Sets the querys collection.
-
-```js
-mquery().collection(aCollection)
-```
-
-### then()
-
-Executes the query and returns a promise which will be resolved with the query results or rejected if the query responds with an error.
-
-```js
-mquery().find(..).then(success, error);
-```
-
-This is very useful when combined with [co](https://github.com/visionmedia/co) or [koa](https://github.com/koajs/koa), which automatically resolve promise-like objects for you.
-
-```js
-co(function*(){
- var doc = yield mquery().findOne({ _id: 499 });
- console.log(doc); // { _id: 499, name: 'amazing', .. }
-})();
-```
-
-_NOTE_:
-The returned promise is a [bluebird](https://github.com/petkaantonov/bluebird/) promise but this is customizable. If you want to
-use your favorite promise library, simply set `mquery.Promise = YourPromiseConstructor`.
-Your `Promise` must be [promises A+](http://promisesaplus.com/) compliant.
-
-### thunk()
-
-Returns a thunk which when called runs the query's `exec` method passing the results to the callback.
-
-```js
-var thunk = mquery(collection).find({..}).thunk();
-
-thunk(function(err, results) {
-
-})
-```
-
-### merge(object)
-
-Merges other mquery or match condition objects into this one. When an mquery instance is passed, its match conditions, field selection and options are merged.
-
-```js
-var drum = mquery({ type: 'drum' }).collection(instruments);
-var redDrum = mquery({ color: 'red' }).merge(drum);
-redDrum.count(function (err, n) {
- console.log('there are %d red drums', n);
-})
-```
-
-Internally uses `mquery.canMerge` to determine validity.
-
-### setOptions(options)
-
-Sets query options.
-
-```js
-mquery().setOptions({ collection: coll, limit: 20 })
-```
-
-##### options
-
-- [tailable](#tailable) *
-- [sort](#sort) *
-- [limit](#limit) *
-- [skip](#skip) *
-- [maxScan](#maxscan) *
-- [maxTime](#maxtime) *
-- [batchSize](#batchSize) *
-- [comment](#comment) *
-- [snapshot](#snapshot) *
-- [hint](#hint) *
-- [slaveOk](#slaveOk) *
-- [safe](http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/write-concern/): Boolean - passed through to the collection. Setting to `true` is equivalent to `{ w: 1 }`
-- [collection](#collection): the collection to query against
-
-_* denotes a query helper method is also available_
-
-### setTraceFunction(func)
-
-Set a function to trace this query. Useful for profiling or logging.
-
-```js
-function traceFunction (method, queryInfo, query) {
- console.log('starting ' + method + ' query');
-
- return function (err, result, millis) {
- console.log('finished ' + method + ' query in ' + millis + 'ms');
- };
-}
-
-mquery().setTraceFunction(traceFunction).findOne({name: 'Joe'}, cb);
-```
-
-The trace function is passed (method, queryInfo, query)
-
-- method is the name of the method being called (e.g. findOne)
-- queryInfo contains information about the query:
- - conditions: query conditions/criteria
- - options: options such as sort, fields, etc
- - doc: document being updated
-- query is the query object
-
-The trace function should return a callback function which accepts:
-- err: error, if any
-- result: result, if any
-- millis: time spent waiting for query result
-
-NOTE: stream requests are not traced.
-
-### mquery.setGlobalTraceFunction(func)
-
-Similar to `setTraceFunction()` but automatically applied to all queries.
-
-```js
-mquery.setTraceFunction(traceFunction);
-```
-
-### mquery.canMerge(conditions)
-
-Determines if `conditions` can be merged using `mquery().merge()`.
-
-```js
-var query = mquery({ type: 'drum' });
-var okToMerge = mquery.canMerge(anObject)
-if (okToMerge) {
- query.merge(anObject);
-}
-```
-
-## mquery.use$geoWithin
-
-MongoDB 2.4 introduced the `$geoWithin` operator which replaces and is 100% backward compatible with `$within`. As of mquery 0.2, we default to using `$geoWithin` for all `within()` calls.
-
-If you are running MongoDB < 2.4 this will be problematic. To force `mquery` to be backward compatible and always use `$within`, set the `mquery.use$geoWithin` flag to `false`.
-
-```js
-mquery.use$geoWithin = false;
-```
-
-## Custom Base Queries
-
-Often times we want custom base queries that encapsulate predefined criteria. With `mquery` this is easy. First create the query you want to reuse and call its `toConstructor()` method which returns a new subclass of `mquery` that retains all options and criteria of the original.
-
-```js
-var greatMovies = mquery(movieCollection).where('rating').gte(4.5).toConstructor();
-
-// use it!
-greatMovies().count(function (err, n) {
- console.log('There are %d great movies', n);
-});
-
-greatMovies().where({ name: /^Life/ }).select('name').find(function (err, docs) {
- console.log(docs);
-});
-```
-
-## Validation
-
-Method and options combinations are checked for validity at runtime to prevent creation of invalid query constructs. For example, a `distinct` query does not support specifying options like `hint` or field selection. In this case an error will be thrown so you can catch these mistakes in development.
-
-## Debug support
-
-Debug mode is provided through the use of the [debug](https://github.com/visionmedia/debug) module. To enable:
-
- DEBUG=mquery node yourprogram.js
-
-Read the debug module documentation for more details.
-
-## General compatibility
-
-#### ObjectIds
-
-`mquery` clones query arguments before passing them to a `collection` method for execution.
-This prevents accidental side-affects to the objects you pass.
-To clone `ObjectIds` we need to make some assumptions.
-
-First, to check if an object is an `ObjectId`, we check its constructors name. If it matches either
-`ObjectId` or `ObjectID` we clone it.
-
-To clone `ObjectIds`, we call its optional `clone` method. If a `clone` method does not exist, we fall
-back to calling `new obj.constructor(obj.id)`. We assume, for compatibility with the
-Node.js driver, that the `ObjectId` instance has a public `id` property and that
-when creating an `ObjectId` instance we can pass that `id` as an argument.
-
-#### Read Preferences
-
-`mquery` supports specifying [Read Preferences]() to control from which MongoDB node your query will read.
-The Read Preferences spec also support specifying tags. To pass tags, some
-drivers (Node.js driver) require passing a special constructor that handles both the read preference and its tags.
-If you need to specify tags, pass an instance of your drivers ReadPreference constructor or roll your own. `mquery` will store whatever you provide and pass later to your collection during execution.
