npm install rethinkdbdash feathers-rethinkdb --savePlease refer to the Feathers database adapter documentation for more details or directly at:
- RethinkDB - The detailed documentation for this adapter
- Extending - How to extend a database adapter
- Pagination and Sorting - How to use pagination and sorting for the database adapter
- Querying - The common adapter querying mechanism
The feathers-rethinkdb adapter is built to use rethinkdbdash, which is a progressive version of the RethinkDB node driver which simplifies the connection process. It also provides some other benefits like connection pooling.
Pro tip: For faster queries, create indexes on your table beforehand as described here.
Here's an example of a Feathers server with a messages RethinkDB service.
const rethink = require('rethinkdbdash');
const feathers = require('feathers');
const rest = require('feathers-rest');
const socketio = require('feathers-socketio');
const bodyParser = require('body-parser');
const service = require('../lib');
// Connect to a local RethinkDB server.
const r = rethink({
db: 'feathers'
});
// Create a feathers instance.
var app = feathers()
// Enable the REST provider for services.
.configure(rest())
// Enable the socketio provider for services.
.configure(socketio())
// Turn on JSON parser for REST services
.use(bodyParser.json())
// Turn on URL-encoded parser for REST services
.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({extended: true}));
var messages = service({
Model: r,
name: 'messages',
paginate: {
default: 10,
max: 50
}
}))
messages
.init()
.then(() => {
// mount the service
app.use('messages', messages);
// start the server.
const port = 3030;
app.listen(port, function() {
console.log(`Feathers server listening on port ${port}`);
});
})You can run this example by using node example/app and going to localhost:3030/messages. You should see an empty array. That's because you don't have any Todos yet but you now have full CRUD for your new messages service.
