Basic Usage

This module provides two exports: useClient and createClient.

useClient takes a MongoClient instance and a string representing the name of the database used. It returns a promise resolving once the database is connected.

import { useClient } from "@zsnout/mongodb";
import { MongoClient } from "mongodb";

let client = new MongoClient("mongodb://localhost:27017");
useClient(client, "mydatabase");

createClient is almost the same, but accepts either a string or an object that is used to initialize a new MongoClient instance.

import { createClient } from "@zsnout/mongodb";

createClient("mongodb://localhost:27017", "mydatabase");
// or
createClient({ ...options }, "mydatabase");

Because of the way @zsnout/core handles databases, you can use the database before the promise resolves. To accomplish this, the collection method returns a promise that resolves once the database is connected.

import { server } from "@zsnout/core";
import { createClient } from "@zsnout/mongodb";

createClient("mongodb://localhost:27017", "mydatabase");

server.database.collection("mycollection").then(async (collection) => {
  // this promise doesn't resolve until the database is connected

  await collection.insert({ name: "haha" });
  return collection.find({});
});

JavaScript API

useClient(client: MongoClient, database: string): Promise<MongoClient>

Adds a database provider using MongoDB. Returns a promise resolving to the MongoClient once connected.

• client: MongoClient - The MongoClient instance to create a database provider from.
• database: string - The name of the database to use.

createClient(urlOrOptions: string | MongoClientOptions, database: string): Promise<MongoClient>

Creates a MongoClient instance and uses it as a database provider. Returns a promise resolving to the MongoClient once connected.

• urlOrOptions: string | MongoClientOptions - Either a URL to connect to or a set of MongoDB options.
• database: string - The name of the database to use.
