This project is not in a usable state

Some of the things listed here have been implemented, some have not. Most will change when I have some more time to come back to this project.

hockeyj85:collection-history

A meteor package that tracks changes to a mongo collection.

** This package is a work in progress and will feature many a breaking change during the near future **

Installation

Clone this repo to the packages directory within your meteor app.

meteor add hockeyj85:collection-history

Usage

// Set up a database to store the changes in.
var HistoryDatabase = new Mongo.Collection('historyOfChanges');

// Create a new tracker that will use this database for storing its changes.
var HistoryTracker = new collectionHistory(HistoryDatabase);

// Watch a database and record activity to it.
var importantDatabase = new Mongo.Collection('importantInformation');
HistoryTracker.auditCollection(importantDatabase);

Getting changes out

This package is incomplete, you can view the stored information using mongo queries on the collection which the history is stored in.
