Readme
sharedb-mongo
MongoDB database adapter for sharedb. This driver can be used both as a snapshot store and oplog.
Snapshots are stored where you'd expect (the named collection with _id=id). In
addition, operations are stored in o_COLLECTION
. For example, if you have
a users
collection, the operations are stored in o_users
.
JSON document snapshots in sharedb-mongo are unwrapped so you can use mongo
queries directly against JSON documents. (They just have some extra fields in
the form of _v
and _type
). It is safe to query documents directly with the
MongoDB driver or command line. Any read only mongo features, including find,
aggregate, and map reduce are safe to perform concurrent with ShareDB.
However, you must always use ShareDB to edit documents. Never use the MongoDB driver or command line to directly modify any documents that ShareDB might create or edit. ShareDB must be used to properly persist operations together with snapshots.
Usage
sharedb-mongo
wraps native mongodb, and it supports the same configuration options.
There are two ways to instantiate a sharedb-mongo wrapper:
- The simplest way is to invoke the module and pass in your mongo DB arguments as arguments to the module function. For example:
const db = require('@teamwork/sharedb-mongo')('mongodb://localhost:27017/test');
const backend = new ShareDB({db});
- If you'd like to reuse a mongo db connection or handle mongo driver instantiation yourself, you can pass in a function that calls back with a mongo instance.
const mongodb = require('mongodb');
const db = require('@teamwork/sharedb-mongo')({mongo: function(callback) {
mongodb.connect('mongodb://localhost:27017/test', callback);
}});
const backend = new ShareDB({db});
Queries
In ShareDB, queries are represented as single JavaScript objects. But
Mongo exposes methods on collections and cursors such as mapReduce
,
sort
or count
. These are encoded into ShareDBMongo's query object
format through special $
-prefixed keys that are interpreted and
stripped out of the query before being passed into Mongo's find
method.
Here are some examples:
| MongoDB query code | ShareDBMongo query object |
| ---------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
| coll.find({x: 1, y: {$ne: 2}})
| {x: 1, y: {$ne: 2}}
|
| coll.find({$or: [{x: 1}, {y: 1}])
| {$or: [{x: 1}, {y: 1}]}}
|
| coll.mapReduce({map: ..., reduce: ...})
| {$mapReduce: {map: ..., reduce: ...}
|
| coll.find({x: 1}).sort({y: -1})
| {x: 1, $sort: {y: -1}}
|
| coll.find().limit(5).count({applySkipLimit: true})
| {x: 1, $limit: 5, $count: {applySkipLimit: true}}
|
Most of Mongo 3.2's
collection
and
cursor
methods are supported. Methods calls map to query properties whose key
is the method name prefixed by $
and value is the argument passed to
the method. $readPref
is an exception -- it takes an object with
mode
and tagSet
fields which map to the two arguments passed into
the readPref
method.
For a full list of supported collection and cursor methods, see
collectionOperationsMap
, cursorTransformsMap
and
cursorOperationsMap
in index.js
