RethinkDB Proxy

Reverse proxy for RethinkDB

Make your RethinkDB publicly accessible through limiting what kind of queries can be executed on your RethinkDB database.

Introduction by Example

First, start the proxy.

$ rethinkdb-proxy --port 8125

Using the proxy, getting all users in the users table is allowed.

r.connect({ port: 8125 }).then((conn) => {
  r.table('users').coerceTo('array').run(conn)
    .then((results) => {
      // We have some results!
      console.log(results); // [{ name: 'jorge' }, ... ]
    });
});

But deleting the users is not:

import rethinkDBProxy from 'rethinkdb-proxy';
rethinkDBProxy({ port: 8125 });

r.connect({ port: 8125 }).then((conn) => {
  r.table('users').delete('array').run(conn)
    .catch((err) => {
      // We get an error!
      console.log(err); // RqlClientError: Cannot execute query. "DELETE" query not allowed
    });
});
