.native()
.native() is only available when using Sails/Waterline with MongoDB.
Returns a raw Mongo collection instance representing the specified model, allowing you to perform raw Mongo queries.
For full documentation and usage examples, check out the native Node Mongo driver.
Note that sails-mongo maintains a single Mongo connection for each of your configured connections/datastores. Consequently, when using .native(), you don't need to close or open db manually. For lower-level usage, you can require('mongodb') directly.
Example
Pet.native(function(err, collection) {
if (err) return res.serverError(err);
collection.find({}, {
name: true
}).toArray(function (err, results) {
if (err) return res.serverError(err);
return res.ok(results);
});
});

Notes
- This method only works with Mongo! For raw functionality in SQL databases, use
.query().
For a better experience on sailsjs.com, update your browser.
