Config Format

The configuration file is just a simple json file containing the indexes to be applied. This file is an array of objects. Where each object has details like collection name, cap size and indexes for this specific collection.

[
    {
        "collection": "order",     // name of collection
        "cap": null,               // Number of bytes 
        "index": [                 // Array of index details
            {"cartId": 1},         // An ascending order index
            {"status": -1},        // Descending order index
            {"orderId": 1},
            {"groupId": 1},
            {"currency": 1},
            {"createdAt": -1},
            {"orderNumber": 1, "type": 1},  // Composite index on orderNumber and type
            {"type": -1, "paymentStatus": -1, "payment.paymentMethod": -1}
        ]
    },
    {
        "collection": "collection_name",
        "cap": null,
        "index": [
            {"userId": -1},
            {"username": 1},
            {"orderId": 1, "_unique": 1},                       // creates a `unique index`
            {"createdAt": -1, "_expireAfterSeconds": 500}       // creates a `expires index` that will delete document after given number of seconds 
        ]
    }
    ....
    ....
    ....
]

Note capping is still progress not yet supported

Examples

See list of index changes before applying
