Changing an objects model on the fly through an external plugin

[Lior Kesos]

We use (and love) mongoose in mean.io .

We recently launched the ability to create "fullstack packages" which provide both client side code (angular directives, services, controllers, css) and server side (express routes, mongoose defined models etc.)

Take for account the next scenario - I created a google maps package which has a map and location picker directives.
We have an existing model called articles demonstrating basic crud functionality with mean.io.

I want the google map package to inject and alter the articles model and add a:
location -> lat/lng to the existing articles schema.

How can this be achieved? Does mongoose have some kind of hook to alter a schema on runtime?

Yeah, I think you can just use schema.add({…}) for this:

Hi Lior,

Glad to see mean.io is chugging along. This looks super cool! Mongoose doesn't support modifying a Model's schema after its been compiled - you'd have to do that at server start, before actually compiling the model.
