mongo-ticket v0.0.1-pre1

mongo-ticket

simple implementation of a single use "ticket", built with mongodb and node.js

Installation

npm install mongo-ticket

Options

• autoConnect whether you want mongo-ticket to immediately connect to the database. If set to false you will have to call the connect method directly (default: true)
• collection the name to use for the collection that will store tickets (default: 'mongoTicket')
• stringify whether you want mongo-ticket to try to use JSON.stringify and JSON.parse when storing and retrieving tickets (default: true)

Usage

var mongoTicket = new MongoTicket('mongodb://localhost:27017/mongo-ticket', function (err, db) {
    if (err) // ...

    mongoTicket.set('qwerty', 'keyboard cat', function (err) {
        // ...
    });
});

Later on...

    mongoTicket.get('qwerty', function (err, val) {
        if (err) // ....
        console.log(val); // => 'keyboard cat'
    })

Methods

• connect(callback) connects to the database with the provided mongodb uri. This is called for you unless to specify autoConnect: false in the options
• get(ticket, callback) gets a ticket and removes it if found. The arity of the callback is (error, ticketValue), where error is null unless something went wrong, and ticketValue is the (optionally parsed) value stored in the ticket.
• set(ticket, ticketValue, callback) sets ticket with the given value. The callback is passed directly to the mongodb driver's insert method
