Integreat-adapter-mongodb NPM

MongoDB support for Integreat

Adapter that lets Integreat use a MongoDB database as source.

Getting started

Prerequisits

Requires node v8.6 and Integreat v0.6.

Installing and using

Install from npm:

npm install integreat-adapter-mongodb

Example of use:

const integreat = require('integreat')
const mongodb = require('integreat-adapter-mongodb')
const defs = require('./config')

const resources = mongodb(integreat.resources())
const great = integreat(defs, resources)

// ... and then dispatch actions as usual

The mongodb() function adds the adapter mongodb to the resources object, but you still need to configure your source to use it.

Example source configuration:

{
  id: 'store',
  adapter: 'mongodb',
  auth: true,
  options: {
    uri: 'mongodb://username:password@mymongo.com',
  }
  endpoints: [
    { options: { db: 'store', collection: 'documents' } }
  ]
}

The uri is used as the uri to the database.

An endpoint may have a query property, which should be an array of path objects describing the query object used with MongoDB's find() method.

Here's an example:

{
  ...
  endpoints: [
    {
      id: 'getDrafts',
      options: {
        db: 'store',
        collection: 'documents',
        query: [
          { path: 'type', param: 'type' },
          { path: 'attributes\\.status', value: 'draft' }
        ]
      }
    }
  ]
}

The path property describes what property to set, and the property is set to the value of value or to the value of the request parameter in param. Note that dots in paths must be escaped here, as we are not setting the status property on an attributes object, but rather setting the attributes.status property.

The query object will look like this, for a request for items of type entry:

{
  type: 'entry',
  'attributes.status': 'draft'
}

When the pageSize param is set in a request, it is taken as the max number of documents to return in the response. When nothing else is specified, the first page of documents is returned, and the paging.next prop on the response will hold a params object that may be used to get the next page.

Note 1: This adapter is currently updating and deleting arrays of documents by calling updateOne and deleteOne for every item in the array. This is not the best method of doing it, so stay tuned for improvements.

Note 2: Including credential in the connection uri, is a fairly common practice with MongoDB. To tell Integreat that the source is authenticated and make all built in security measures kick in, simply set auth: true on the source def.
