This module provides a storage engine for Seed that allows datasets to be stored in MongoDB.
Module is available through npm. To use it in your project you must also have seed installed,
as it is not provided as package.json requirement.
npm install seed seed-mongodb
Seed, which stands for storage-agnostic, event emitting datasets, is a library of components that provide a common API for working with data, no matter the source. These compoents are Hash, Model, Graph, and Schema. MongoDB can be one the many sources used in the construction eventful, data-centric applications.
Visit the Seed project page to learn more.
This storage engine can be used for both models and collections.
var Seed = require('seed')
, MongoStore = require('seed-mongodb')
, store = new MongoStore({
db: 'hitchhikersguide'
, host: 'localhost'
, port: 27017
});
var Person = Seed.Model.extend('person', {
store: store
});
var arthur = new Person({
id: 'arthur'
, name: 'Arthur Dent'
, occupation: 'Traveller'
});
arthur.save(function (err) {
if (err) return console.error(err);
console.log('Arthur has been saved!');
});When fetching from a Graph, the queries are passed directly to the mongo database, and should follow MongoDB's form. For more information, check out Mongo's Guide on Querying and the awesome node-mongo-native topic on queries.
var HitchhikersGuide = Seed.Graph.extend({
store: store
, initialize: function () {
this.define(Person);
}
});
var myGuide = new HitchhikersGuide();
myGuide.fetch('person', { 'name': 'Arthur Dent' }, function (err) {
var arthur = self.get('/person/arthur');
});Tests are writting in Mocha using the Chai
should BDD assertion library. Make sure you have that installed, clone this repo, install dependacies using npm install.
$ make test
You will also need a local installation of MongoDB available on 'localhost:27017' without authentication. Custom test database options are not provided by default.
All issues related to this project should be posted in seed-mongodb GitHub Issues. For all general seed related issues, please visit seed's GitHub Issues. There is also a community forum is available at the Seed Google Group.
