Proposal to archive this package.

[ghmeier]

As of version 5.0.0, the official mongo nodejs driver supports only promises. Given that the original purpose of this library was to add a promise-compatible interface for the native driver, I think mongoist is no longer useful. Anyone who'd like a promise-compatible api, should just use the native driver.

As a result, I'm proposing adding a notice to the readme and archiving this repo. As it is, the package is pretty out of date and no longer really useful for modern node/mongodb projects.

I believe what you are trying to say is that the official driver doesn't support callbacks anymore?

Farewell to Callbacks
Most notably, we have removed support for callbacks in favor of a Promise-only public API.

Other than that, I'm not super familiar with either library, but I believe Mongoist still brings some stuff to the game that the official driver doesn't, like for example access to collections in a different way.

const collection = db.collection('documents');

With Mongoist we can just:

db.documents.

The original purpose of this library was to promisify the mongo driver's API (that's why I started maintaining it originally). As you said, the official driver supports promises natively now. As such, I don't think there's a reason to continue maintaining the library and folks should migrate off it.
