Create a Model

After configuring the database connection, the next step is to define your data models using Noblex’s Model helper.

Here’s how you can create a model for a blogPosts collection.

import { Model } from "noblex";

interface IModel {
  name?: string;
  deleted?: boolean;
  createdAt: Date;
  updatedAt: Date;
}

export interface IBlogPost extends IModel {
  address: string;
  lastSyncedBlockEth: number;
  lastSyncedBlockToken: number;
  lastSyncedBlockEthInternal: number;
}

export const schema = {
  address: { type: String, required: true, unique: true, lowercase: true },
  lastSyncedBlockEth: { type: Number, default: -1 },
  lastSyncedBlockEthInternal: { type: Number, default: -1 },
  lastSyncedBlockToken: { type: Number, default: -1 },
};

const BlogPost = Model<IBlogPost>("BlogPost", schema);
export default BlogPost;

What’s happening here?

• You define an interface IWallet extending a base IModel with common fields.

• Define the Mongoose schema with field types, defaults, and validations.

• Use Noblex’s Model function to create a typed model linked to the "Wallet" collection.

• Export the model to use it elsewhere in your app.

This pattern keeps your code clean, strongly typed, and integrated with Noblex’s features like request-aware hooks and RBAC.
