Typegoose is a TypeScript library that lets you define Mongoose models using TypeScript classes with decorators, eliminating the need to maintain separate schema and interface definitions. It generates typed Mongoose models from class definitions using the reflect-metadata API.

Use cases

• define mongoose models with typescript classes
• avoid duplicating mongoose schemas and typescript interfaces
• get type-safe mongodb models in nodejs
• generate mongoose schemas from decorators
• keep typescript types in sync with database models
• use odm with mongodb in a typescript backend

When to choose

• you use Mongoose with TypeScript and want type-safe models from a single class definition
• you want to reduce boilerplate between schemas and interfaces
• you need compatibility with most Mongoose options while keeping types

When to avoid

• you use a database other than MongoDB
• your project is plain JavaScript without TypeScript
• you prefer writing Mongoose schemas directly without decorators
