Package Exports

gridjs

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 (gridjs) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

gridjs

A GridFS module that is easy to use and mongojs compliant. It is available through npm

npm install gridjs

Usage

It is easy to use

Connecting to Mongo/GridFS

To get started pass a connection string or mongojs instance to the gridjs constructor

var gridjs = require('gridjs');
var fs = require('fs');

var gs = gridjs('my-connection-string');

// or using a mongojs instance

var db = mongojs('my-connection-string');
var gs = gridjs(db);

// or using a node-mongodb-native instance

mongodb.Db.connect(connectionString, function(err, db) {
    var gs = gridjs(db);
});

Writing files

Writing files using gridjs is a simple as piping to gs.createWriteStream(filename) which returns a streams2 WriteStream

fs.createReadStream('any-file').pipe(gs.createWriteStream('gridfs-filename'));

Alternatively if you have the entire file as a single buffer you can use gs.write(filename, buffer, [enc], callback)

gs.write('test-file', new Buffer('hello world'), function(err) {
    console.log('file is written', err);
});

Reading files

Similary when reading files you just pipe from gs.createReadStream(filename, [options]) which returns a streams2 ReadStream

gs.createReadStream('gridfs-filename').pipe(process.stdout);

There is also a gs.read(filename, [enc], callback) shorthand if you want to read the entire file into a buffer

gs.read('test-file', function(err, buffer) {
    console.log('file is read', buffer);
});
