Instance Methods on existing Documents

[Bernardo Figuerêdo Domingues]

Hi;

I'm trying to add some instance methods to a Schema where there is already a collection with existing documents. I'm trying to do something like this:

var mySchema = new mongoose.Schema({
   foo : Number
}, {
 collection : 'myCollection'
});


mySchema.methods.addFoo = function (amount) {
 console.log('adding foo: ' + amount);
};


var myModel = mongoose.model('myModel', mySchema);

And it works fine when I do:

var myDocument = new myModel({
 foo : 1
});


myDocument.addFoo(1); //adding foo: 1

But, when I do this, it doesn't work:

myModel.find({_id : '123abc'}, function (err, doc) {
 doc.addFoo(1); //TypeError: Object has no method 'addFoo'
});

Am I doing this wrong or did I misunterstand the use of instance method?

Thanks in advance;

Bernardo

Nevermind... I've been heads deep on this for so long that I forgot that find() returns an Array and findOne returns the object.

I'm sorry for my brain fart. :)

Best Regards!
