Database Models

Radish generates Mongoose models for each entity defined in your blueprints.

Overview​

Models provide the database layer abstraction, handling:

  • Schema definitions
  • Indexes
  • Timestamps (createdAt, updatedAt)
  • Owner scoping
  • Versioning hooks (if enabled)

Generated Models​

Location: .radish/lib/datalayer/server/models/

// .radish/lib/datalayer/server/models/product.model.ts
export const ProductModel = mongoose.model('Product', productSchema);

Features​

Automatic Indexes​

Models include automatic indexes on:

  • Reference fields (ref fields)
  • Filter fields
  • Compound indexes from blueprints

Timestamps​

All models include createdAt and updatedAt timestamps.

Owner Scoping​

Models support owner-based access control when configured in blueprints.

Versioning​

When versioning is enabled, models include hooks to track changes.
