This works in Sails v0.10.0-rc7 (Waterline v0.10.0-rc12)

waterline.sails.mongo.native.example.js

/**
 * PetController
 *
 * @description :: Server-side logic for managing pets
 * @help        :: See http://links.sailsjs.org/docs/controllers
 */

module.exports = {
	index: function (req,res) {
    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);
        console.log('->',results);
        return res.ok(results);
      });
    });
  }
};

Its very useful for me..
Thanks Sir......

With this example, how we can populate one model using native ?

Is the function inside "native" run in the mongodb server? I mean, no data is sent to waterline until de callback of "toArray")?

Hi Mike,

getDB Method manually added in sails-mongo

I need to achieve the below code snippet. I am out of thoughts, can you help me on this. I am unable to get docs.

var m = function () {
var words = this.word;
if (words) {
for (var i = 0; i < words.length; i++) {
emit(words[i], 1);
}
}
}

    var r = function (key, values) {
        var count = 0;
        values.forEach(function (v) {
            count += v;
        });
        return count;
    }

Activity.native(function (err, collection) {
console.log("hello");
collection.mapReduce(m, r, {
out: {merge: "words_count" + "" + req.params.childid}
}, function (err, result) {
Activity.getDB(function (err, db) {
db.collection("words_count" + "" + req.params.childid).find({}, function(err, docs){
res.ok(docs);
});

            });
        });
    });

How Do I use the native() method with promise ( bluebird) I tried I could not find a way out of this? thanks in advance

@Rafi993 I used this syntax:

return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
  Pet.native((err, collection) => {
    if (err) reject(err)
    else collection.find({}, {
      name: true
    }).toArray((err, results) => {
      if (err) reject(err)
      else resolve(results)
    });
  })
}

@Rafi993
const collection = await Promise.fromCallback(Model.native);

what are the methods that collection supports? because when I do collection.stats It works but it throws an error for collection.serverStats

what's the meaning of collection.find({}, {
name: true
})?? collection is name of our collection? or Pet.native is for name of collection?
