mongo-alias

A lightweight aliasing layer on top of the MongoDB Node.js driver that translates long field names to short keys for storage optimization. Current stable version is 1.0.13, released sporadically as a single-developer project. Unlike Mongoose, mongo-alias does not override native driver commands, keeping full control of the DB object and enabling direct logging. It focuses solely on field aliasing and automatic createdAt/updatedAt timestamps, deliberately omitting schema validation, middleware, virtuals, and population. This package is suitable for developers who want minimal overhead (42KB) and fine-grained control over MongoDB queries.
