a simple mongo module that emulates the mongo api

Package Exports

  • mongojs

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

Readme

mongojs

A node.js module for mongodb, that emulates the mongodb API as much as possible. It wraps mongodb-native.
It is available through npm:

    npm install mongojs

DB is very simple to use:

    var db = require('mongojs').connect(databaseURL, [collections]);

Some examples of this could be:

    // simple usage for a local db
    var db = require('mongojs').connect('mydb', ['mycollection']);
    
    // the db is on a remote server (the port default to mongo)
    var db = require('mongojs').connect('example.com/mydb', ['mycollection']);
    
    // we can also provide some credentials
    var db = require('mongojs').connect('username:password@example.com/mydb', ['mycollection']);

After we connected to can query or update the database just how we would using the mongo API with the exception that we use a callback

    // find everything
    db.mycollection.find(callback);
    
    // find everything, but sort by name
    db.mycollection.find().sort({name:1}, callback);
    
    // iterate over all whose level is greater than 90 (callback(null,null) indicates that the iteration has finished)
    db.mycollection.find({level:{$gt:90}}).forEach(callback);
    
    // find all named 'mathias' and increment their level
    db.mycollection.update({name:'mathias'}, {$inc:{level:1}}, {multi:true}, callback);
    
    // use the save function to just save a document (the callback is optional for all writes)
    db.mycollection.save({created:'just now'});

For more detailed information about the different usages of update and quering see the mongo docs
