Mongorestorm-server NPM

mongorestorm-server

A REST Server abstraction of the commonly used mongodb@3.2.1 CRUD operations with schema definitions using @hapi/joi for data validations.

Getting Started

Installation

$ npm i mongorestorm-server

Usage

1. Import mongorestorm-server

const { MongoRestOrmServer } = require('mongorestorm-server');

2. Define MongoRestOrmServerConfig

const joi = require('@hapi/joi');

const config = {
  mongoConfig: {
    mongoUri: 'mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/',
    dbName: 'test',
    clientOptions: {
      useNewUrlParser: true,
      useUnifiedTopology: true,
    },
    dbOptions: {},
  },
  corsConfig: {
    origin: '*',
    methods: 'GET,HEAD,PUT,PATCH,POST,DELETE',
    preflightContinue: false,
    optionsSuccessStatus: 204,
  },
  apiDocsConfig: {
    apiDocs: '/api-docs',
    swaggerUi: '/docs',
  },
  authConfig: null,
  logLevel: 'info',
  basePath: '/api',
  schemas: {
    userCollection: joi.object().keys({
      _id: joi.object().keys({
        $oid: joi.string().min(24).hex(),
      }),
      username: joi.string().required(),
      password: joi.string().required(),
    }),
  },
};

MongoRestOrmServerConfig	Type	Description	Default
mongoConfig	object	MongoDB Server connection configurations.	`{ mongoUri: 'mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/', dbName: 'test', clientOptions: { useNewUrlParser: true, useUnifiedTopology: true } }`
mongoConfig.mongoUri	string	MongoDB Server connection string.	`'mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/'`
mongoConfig.dbName	string	Database name.	`'test'`
mongoConfig.clientOptions	object	Please refer to: MongoClientOptions	`{ useNewUrlParser: true, useUnifiedTopology: true }`
mongoConfig.dbOptions	object	Please refer to: MongoClientCommonOption	`{}`
corsConfig	object	Please refer to: CorsOptions	`{ origin: '*', methods: 'GET,HEAD,PUT,PATCH,POST,DELETE', preflightContinue: false, optionsSuccessStatus: 204 }`
apiDocsConfig	string	MongoRestOrm Server uses the OpenAPI 3.0 specification to document and visualize it's API. Use `null` to turn off docs.	`{ apiDocs: '/api-docs', swaggerUi: '/docs' }`
apiDocsConfig.apiDocs	string	Path to access OpenAPI 3.0 specification JSON.	`'/api-docs'`
apiDocsConfig.swaggerUi	string	Path to access OpenAPI 3.0 specification Swagger UI.	`'/docs'`
authConfig	object	Configurations for built-in authentication.	`null`
authConfig.secret	string	Secret to be used for validating Bearer token passed in the `Authorization` header.	`'secret'`
logLevel	string	Log level of the application. Log levels: `info`, `warn`, `error`, and `debug`. Use `custom` to turn off logging.	`'info'`
basePath	string	Prefix path of the MongoRestOrm Server enpoints.	`''`
schemas	string	Define database schema using @hapi/joi for data validation and visualization in docs.	`{}`

3. Create MongoRestOrm Server instance

const mongoRestOrmServer = new MongoRestOrmServer(config);

4. Start MongoRestOrm Server

There are two ways of starting the MongoRestOrm Server.

Way 1

const port = 3000;
mongoRestOrmServer.startServer({ port });

Way 2

const express = require('express');
const app = express();
const port = 3000;

// Add custom middlewares here.

app.on('ready', () => {
  app.listen(port, () => {
    logger.info('Accepting connections at port: %d', port);
  });
});

mongoRestOrmServer.applyMiddleware(app);

Way 2 will allow adding of custom express middlewares such as own authentication middlewares.

Endpoints

All endpoints exposed by MongoRestOrm Server will be prefixed by the basePath that was provided in the MongoRestOrmConfig plus /dbs/ plus the mongoConfig.dbName. Example prefix: /basePath/dbs/dbName

To see the endpoints exposed by MongoRestOrm Server for the mongodb CRUD operations, please visit the Wiki.

MongoRestOrm Client

Comming Soon...

MongoDB Extended JSON

MongoRestOrm Server serializes and deserializes the data it receives and sends using the MongoDB Extended JSON (v2) specification to preserve special MongoDB types such as ObjectID.

Comparisons

JSON	EJSON	BSON
`{ _id: 'aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa' }`	`{ _id: { $oid: 'aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa' } }`	`{ _id: ObjectId('aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa') }`

Packages that deserialize EJSON to a plain json/dict/struct with native/BSON types.

Language	Package
Javascript	bson
Python	pymongo
Go	gomongo

Recommendations

Usage of this package is only recommended for applications with a microservice architecture and should only have communications with other microservices within the application. Exposing the API to the client might cause some security issues.
