co-mongo

A mongodb wrapper that plays nicely with co.

This is project has two goals:

• Maintain exact compatibility with the mongodb module, what ever mongo returns in it's callback is what gets returned when you yield
• Add a few convenience methods to make handling connections easier (see below)

Install

npm install co-mongo

Example

var comongo = require('co-mongo');
var co = require('co');

co(function *() {
  var db = yield comongo.connect('mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/test');
  var collection = yield db.collection('test_insert');
  yield collection.insert({ a: 2});

  var count = yield collection.count();
  console.log(count);

  var docs = yield collection.find().toArray();
  console.log(docs);

  yield db.close();
})();

Notes

Not all methods should be yielded, the rule is: if the methods accepts a callback (e.g. collection.insert()), yield it, if it doesn't (e.g. collection.find()) don't.

Because all methods have to be wrapped it does mean that when you do things wrong (miss a parameter for example) the error message sometimes isn't very useful. The solution is just to do it right :), check the mongo API, check the co-mongo tests.

It's not yet 100% API compatible, methods that are not implemented are marked as TODO in lib/<class>.js.

Extras

Beyond the standard mongo methods, co-mongo also provides the following convenience methods, this is mainly inspired by martinrue's congo module.

• configure(options)

  • Set the default connection options
  • Options:
    • host {string} MongoDB host name (default: 127.0.0.1)
    • port {int} MongoDB port number (default: 27017)
    • name {string} MongoDB database name (default: test)
    • pool {int} MongoDB poolSize (default: 5)
    • collections {array[string]} These collection will be attached, automatically, to the db object returned by comongo.get() (see example)

• get()

  • Returns a db object (see example)

Example

var comongo = require('co-mongo');

comongo.configure({
    host: '127.0.0.1',
    port: 27017,
    name: 'mydb',
    pool: 10,
    collections: ['users', 'products', 'orders']
});

co(function *() {
    var db = yield comongo.get();

    // Collections attached to db object
    var users db.users.find().toArray();
    console.log(users);

    yield db.close();
})();
