+
+This adapter includes TypeScript definitions. When using TypeScript, you can import and use it as follows:

+import mongoose from 'mongoose';
+import service from 'feathers-mongoose';
+
+interface Message {
+  text: string;
+  createdAt: Date;

 Using the `writeResult` mongoose option will return the write result of a `patch` operation, including the _ids of all upserted or modified documents. This can be helpful alongside the `upsert` flag, for detecting whether the outcome was a find or insert operation. More on write results is available in the [Mongo documentation](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/method/db.collection.update/#writeresult)
 
+> **Performance Note:** When using `writeResult` with multi-document patch operations, the adapter uses an optimized path that performs the update directly without pre-fetching document IDs, resulting in better performance for write-only operations

+### Running Tests Locally
+
+**Option 1: Using Docker (Recommended)**
+
+The easiest way to run tests is using Docker Compose, which will set up MongoDB 7.0 with replica set configuration:
+
+```bash
+# Start MongoDB and run tests
+docker-compose up --build
+
+# Or run tests in watch mode
+docker-compose up mongo  # Start MongoDB in background
+npm test  # Run tests on host

+To test with Node 12 (minimum supported version), you can use the alternative Docker setup:
 
+```bash
+# Test with Node 12 (skips linting due to ESLint compatibility)
+docker-compose -f docker-compose.node12.yml up --build
 ```
+
+Note: Node 12 testing skips linting steps due to ESLint compatibility issues. A separate GitHub workflow handles Node 12 testing in CI.
+
+**Option 2: Local MongoDB Setup**
+
+If you prefer to use a local MongoDB installation, you'll need:
+- MongoDB 7.0 or later
+- Replica set configuration (required for transaction tests)
+
+```bash
+# Start MongoDB with replica set
+mongod --replSet rs0
+
+# Initialize replica set (first time only)
+mongosh --eval "rs.initiate()"
+
+# Run tests
