## What it is
Typegoose is a TypeScript library that lets developers define Mongoose models using TypeScript classes with decorators, eliminating the need to maintain separate model and interface definitions. This original repository has been moved and is no longer maintained; development continues at hasezoey/typegoose.

## Use cases
- define mongoose models with typescript classes
- avoid duplicating mongoose schemas and typescript interfaces
- get typed mongoose models for mongodb
- use decorators to define document schemas
- type-safe mongodb odm for node.js

## When to choose
- you want type-safe Mongoose models defined from TypeScript classes
- you want to keep schema definitions and TypeScript types in sync automatically
- you are on the Mongoose 5 / Node 8+ stack and prefer decorator-based ODMs

## When to avoid
- you need an actively maintained library - use the hasezoey/typegoose fork instead
- you use Mongoose 6+ or newer TypeScript versions
- you prefer defining schemas directly in Mongoose without decorators

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: orm, database-driver, serialization
- domain: databases, backend, web-development, developer-tools
- platform: -
- tags: mongoose, mongodb, odm, decorators, type-safety, moved-to-fork, nodejs, typescript
