Hi I have encountered the following error while installing npm package mongoose-auto-increment and mongoose-simpledb both globally and locally.

The Error are as follows

Can somebody help me as to why I am getting this error and what is the workaround?

Solution

    1. In your package.json mongoose have a higher version 4.0.0. But mongoose-simpledb wants mongoose@~3.8.18.

    2. mongoose-simpledb includes it's dependency mongoose-auto-increment. If you explicitly declare the _id field on your schema as type Number then simpledb will automatically invoke the mongoose-auto-increment plugin for that model.

    Example from documentation itself:

    exports.schema = {
    _id: Number, // Causes simpledb to auto-increment _id for new documents.
    creator: { type: Number, ref: 'User' }
};

    I have tried changing the package.json to this and it worked:

  "name": "Project",
  "private": true,
  "version": "0.0.0",
  "description": "a Sails application",
  "keywords": [],
  "dependencies": {
