field name aliases?

[mgutz]

Is there a way to specify the collection field name in a schema? The long descriptive field names in code are helpful but are starting to eat up bytes on our small VPS.

[Aaron Heckmann]

new Schema({ .. }, { collection: 'yourcollectionname' })

Field names?

I tried new Schema({userName: String, description: String}, {userName: "u", description: "d"});

The collection still has "userName" and "description" fields instead of "u" and "d"

I guess you could make the fields using the shortnames and setup
virtuals with the long names mapping to the short attribute names:

var schema = new Schema({ s: String, n: Number, b: Boolean});

schema
.virtual('aString')
.get(function () {
return this.get('s');
})
.set(function (v) {
return this.set('s', v);
});

You could still use the short names in code aswell, but at least you
don't have to.

Regards,
Daniel

Though the shortfall is querying by virtuals is not supported.
