Along with this, there are four mongoose-hook-based plugins in the GitHub repository: created-modified, adding "createdAt" and "modifiedAt" timestamp fields to the document; ensure-indexes, allowing deletion of unused indexes and reindexing with changed options; custom-id, using 16-char base64 string representation instead of ObjectId; and revision, adding a revision field to documents supporting raw MongoDB methods.
