I am using mongoengine with flask. I have a db.Document class called profile in which i want a field to be nullable and unique, i understand the way to do this is to make an index of that field that is both sparse=True and unique=True, how do i go about doing this?
You will have to declare the index in the meta
definition eg:
class BlogPost(Document):
date = DateTimeField(db_field='addDate', default=datetime.now)
category = StringField()
tags = ListField(StringField())
meta = {
'indexes': [
{'fields': ['-date'], 'unique': True,
'sparse': True, 'types': False },
],
}
