@sealsystems/mongo-notification v1.5.25

@sealsystems/mongo-notification

An event emitter and receiver that uses MongoDB capped collections.

Installation

$ npm install @sealsystems/mongo-notification

Quick start

First you need to add a reference to @sealsystems/mongo-notification to your application.

const mongoNotification = require('@sealsystems/mongo-notification');

Then connect to a MongoDB by calling the function mongoNotification. Provide an options object and returns a notification event emitter:

const notification = await mongoNotification({
  url: 'mongodb://...',
  topic: 'messages',
  collectionSize: '1MB',
  writeOnly: false
});

The options contain:

• url mandatory, a connection string,
• topic mandatory, the name of a topic collection
• collectionSize optional, the size of the capped collection, default: 1MB
• writeOnly optional, the open mode, default: false
• Additional @sealsystems/mongo options

Emit events

Call the emit function for actually emitting an event:

notification.emit('foo', { foo: 'bar' });

Optionally you may specify a callback to get notified when the event has been persisted:

notification.emit('foo', { foo: 'bar' }, (err) => {
  // ...
});

Receive events

If you want to receive events send by your application use the on function:

notification.on('foo', (payload) => {
  // ...
});

Write only mode

If you only want to emit events but not receive any you can set the writeOnly option to true when connecting.

const notification = await mongoNotification({
  ...
  writeOnly: true
});
