Group (By) in Mongoose?

Question

I\'ve constructed the query I want in the shell but am having trouble writing it in Mongoose.

db.commentstreams.group({ key: { page_id: true }, reduce: function(

MapReduce should be the proper way to go but if you're not sharding and your query won't result in more than 10k records its ok.

You can access any node-mongodb-native functions through moongoose, so it looks like this:

var group = {
   key: {},
   cond: {item_id: item_id},
   reduce: function(doc, out) {
      out.count++;
      out.total += doc.value;
   },
   initial: {
       total: 0,
       count: 0
   },
   finalize: function(out) {
       out.avg = out.total / out.count;
   }
};

Item.collection.group(group.key, group.cond, group.initial, group.reduce, group.finalize, true, function(err, results) {
    console.log('group results %j', results);
});
