Was hacking around with this code a few weeks ago and wanted to finish it up and get it out for some feedback.
If you haven't heard, mongodb is the hottest thing to come around for quite some time. It also looks like it is a skill that is in high demand.
I started converting this module which is based on code from MongoHQ, but eventually I converted the code base so it will work with Mongolabs. Both of these vendors provide hosting for you mongodb needs, so check them out and see what works for you.
I have also started the process of modifying the module to work with your own local mongodb instance, but it wasn't quite done yet.
var Client = require('mongoDBClient').Client;
var database, client = null;
if(true) {
// mongolabs test
client = new Client({
url : "https://api.mongolab.com/api/1/",
apikey : 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX'
});
database = "firstdatabase";
} else {
//mongohq test
client = new Client({
url : 'https://api.mongohq.com',
apikey : 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX'
});
database = "test_aks";
}
Now we have some code to test the database by adding a document and then getting the list of documents
// some functions to test the code
/**
* create the document by creating a JSON object for the database
*/
function createDocument(db_name) {
client.documents.create({
"db_name" : db_name || "firstdatabase",
"col_name" : "my_users",
"data" : {
'document' : {
"name" : "Andrea " + new Date(),
"zip" : "20011"
}
},
"success" : function(success_data) {
Ti.API.info('documents.create ' + success_data);
// now display all documents
getDocuments(database);
},
"error" : function(error_data) {
Ti.API.info('documents.create: error ' + error_data);
}
});
}
/**
-
get the document by querying the database */ function getDocuments(db_name) { client.documents.all({ "db_name" : db_name || "firstdatabase", "col_name" : "my_users", "data" : { }, "success" : function(success_data) { Ti.API.info('documents.find ' + success_data);
}}); } // now call the functions createDocument(database);
You can get the source to the mongo client here from github, please realize it is a work in progress and feedback is appreciated
