Create metadata dictionary in version 6

[marcuslindblom]

In an older project running ravendb 5.4 I import MetadataDictionary like this and use at like the example below.

import { MetadataDictionary } from 'ravendb/dist/Mapping/MetadataAsDictionary';
for (const template of templates.filter((t) => !t.disableURL)) {
    await bulkInsert.store(template, `templates/${template.collection}`, createMetadataDictionary({ '@collection': 'Templates' }));
}

But when running ravendb 6 it does not exist, so how can I do this in the latest version?

@marcuslindblom Looks like we didn't expose MetadataAsDictionary from index.ts in package.

I'm reporting this as an issue.
As temporary workaround you can use:

                    await bulkInsert.store(new Company(), "test/" + i, {
                        isDirty(): boolean {
                            return false;
                        },
                        "@collection": "Test1"
                    })

Thanks!

When using nodejs and typescript, should I add something similar to Raven-Clr-Type?

If you are creating new project you can use ClassTransformer which was introduced in v6.0.

It is listed here:
https://github.com/ravendb/ravendb-nodejs-client/releases/tag/6.0.0
and detailed link to example:

ravendb-nodejs-client/test/Ported/CustomSerializationTest.ts

Line 16 in 5404b45

class ClassTransformer implements ITypesAwareObjectMapper {

Then we won't need nested fields types (to keep info that field is date).

And you don't need Raven-Clr-Type as well.

Fixed in #463
