Package Exports
- databank-mongodb
This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (databank-mongodb) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Usage
To create a MongoDB databank, use the Databank.get() method:
var Databank = require('databank').Databank;
var db = Databank.get('mongodb', {});The driver takes the following parameters:
host: the host to connect to. Defaults tolocalhost.port: the port to connect to. Defaults to27017.dbname: the database to use. Defaults totest.dbuser: the username. Defaults to null, meaning no authentication.dbpass: the password. Defaults to null.schema: the database schema, as described in the Databank README.checkSchema: whether to synchronize the database with the schema argument at connection time. Defaults totrue.rs_name: replica set name to use. If this is set,hostandportare ignored.hosts: array of hosts in the replica set you want to connect to. These can be either arrays of [host, port] or strings (meaning use the default port).
Database structures
Databank "types" map to MongoDB collections.
The "pkey" of a schema will be mapped to the _id value in the database. For example, consider a schema with a single type, like the following:
{"person": {"pkey": "username"}}An object like the following:
{"username": "evanp", "age": 43}...would be stored in the database as:
{"_id": "evanp", "age": 43}
The "indices" in a schema will be used to create indices in the database.
Simple types
Arrays and integers are stored in wrapped objects. The following call creates a new array:
var db = Databank.get("mongo", {});
db.connect({}, function(err) {
db.create("friends", "frodo", ["sam", "merry", "pippin"], function(err, friendsList) {
// done
});
});The stored object in the "friends" collection in MongoDB looks like:
{"_id": "frodo", "_v": ["sam", "merry", "pippin"], "_s": true}Here, the value is stored in the "_v" field, and the "_s" field stores a flag indicating that we've made a little shim.
Similarly for integer types:
db.incr("age", "evanp", function(err, newAge) { });The stored object will be:
{"_id": "evanp", "_v": 43, "_s": true}
