Package Exports

mongodb-prebuilt
mongodb-prebuilt/built/bin/mongod

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

About

Works on Mac, Windows, Linux and Solaris OSes that MongoDB supports.

CLI usage

The latest version of MongoDB is used by default for your OS and ~/.mongodb-prebuilt for downloading MongoDB binary. You can set desired version, download folder, architecture and platform through environment variables:

MONGODB_VERSION
MONGODB_DOWNLOADDIR
MONGODB_ARCH
MONGODB_PLATFORM

For example:

export MONGODB_DOWNLOADDIR='./' MONGODB_VERSION=3.4.10
mongod --port 27018 --dbpath ./mongodb --logpath /dev/stdout

Programmatic usage

let {MongodHelper} = require('mongodb-prebuilt');

let mongodHelper = new MongodHelper(['--port', "27018"]);

// OPTIONAL: to control what version of mongo you want to download

mongodHelper = new MongodHelper(['--port', "27018"], {
    version: 'x.x.x'
});

mongodHelper.run().then((started) => {
    console.log('mongod is running');
}, (e) => {
    console.log('error starting', e);
});
