mongo-standalone

This is a javascript method that allows for control of the command-line based mongod instance from a node.js app. MongoDB must be downloaded and the mongod command available in your PATH.

Installing MongoDB

Install:

npm install --save mongo-standalone

Usage:

const MongoDB = require('mongo-standalone');
const mongodOptions = {
  dbpath: path.resolve('./data/db')
};

const mongod = MongoDB(mongodOptions, function (err, inst) {
  if (err) {
    process.exit();
    return;
  }

  // inst.child === mongod which is returned from the function
  // inst.kill === kill(mongod) using the tree-kill package
});
