Quick Example

typescript

import { collection, field } from '@codician-team/monch';

// Define your collection with Zod schema
const Users = collection({
  name: 'users',
  schema: {
    _id: field.id(),
    name: field.string().min(1),
    email: field.email(),
    role: field.enum(['user', 'admin']).default('user'),
  },
  timestamps: true,
});

// Insert with automatic validation
const user = await Users.insertOne({
  name: 'Alice',
  email: 'alice@example.com',
});

// Query with type-safe results
const admins = await Users.find({ role: 'admin' }).toArray();

// Serialize for Next.js Client Components
const serialized = user.serialize();
// { _id: '507f1f77...', name: 'Alice', email: '...', createdAt: '2024-01-15T...' }
