Setting expiry time for a collection in mongodb using mongoose
Solution 1:
In Mongoose, you create a TTL index on a Date
field via the expires
property in the schema definition of that field:
// expire docs 3600 seconds after createdAt
new Schema({ createdAt: { type: Date, expires: 3600 }});
Note that:
- MongoDB's data expiration task runs once a minute, so an expired doc might persist up to a minute past its expiration.
- This feature requires MongoDB 2.2 or later.
- It's up to you to set
createdAt
to the current time when creating docs, or add adefault
to do it for you as suggested here.{ createdAt: { type: Date, expires: 3600, default: Date.now }}
Solution 2:
this code is working for me.
may it help
let currentSchema = mongoose.Schema({
id: String,
name: String,
packageId: Number,
age: Number
}, {timestamps: true});
currentSchema.index({createdAt: 1},{expireAfterSeconds: 3600});
