Root collection (maybe it will be useful to someone)

[Aeonrush]

There is something very mysterious going on here

gfs.createWriteStream

Even if I put this line gfs.collection('fs.art'), I still have to write this

let writeStream = gfs.createWriteStream({filename: filename, root: 'fs.art'})

but this is reflected here and doesn't looks like a trouble

gfs.files

// I HAVE to put this line
gfs.collection('fs.art')
gfs.files.update({_id: file._id}, {$set: {'metadata.info': info}}, cb)

gfs.exist

Even if I put this line gfs.collection('fs.art'), I still have to write this

gfs.exist({"_id": req.params.id, root: 'fs.art'}, cb)

gfs.remove

Even if I put this line gfs.collection('fs.art'), I still have to write this

gfs.remove({"_id": req.params.id, root: 'fs.art'}, cb)

gfs.findOne and gfs.createReadStream

Works fine with gfs.collection('fs.art')

gfs.findOne({"_id": req.params.id}, cb)
gfs.createReadStream({"_id": req.params.id})

this is really helpful for me :) thanks

Thanks, @Aeonrush! It's useful. Nevertheless, default fs.chunks and fs.files are created (with zero documents inside).

It should be better to specify the collection only once, that would make the work much easier. Instead of that, I'm writing wrappers to specify the same thing for every database operation.

Thanks, very helpful.
