OData V4 Service modules - MongoDB Connector

Service OData v4 requests from a MongoDB data store.

Synopsis

The OData V4 MongoDB Connector provides functionality to convert the various types of OData segments into MongoDB query objects, that you can execute over a MongoDB database.

Potential usage scenarios

• Create high speed, standard compliant data sharing APIs

Usage as server - TypeScript

import { createFilter } from 'odata-v4-mongodb'

//example request:  GET /api/products?$filter=category/id eq 5 or color eq 'Red'
app.get("/api/products", (req: Request, res: Response) => {
    const filter = createFilter(req.query.$filter);
    // collection instance from MongoDB Node.JS Driver
    collection.find(filter, function(err, data){
        res.json({
        	'@odata.context': req.protocol + '://' + req.get('host') + '/api/$metadata#products',
        	value: data
        });
    });
});

Usage ES5

var createFilter = require('odata-v4-mongodb').createFilter;

app.get("/api/products", function(req, res) {
    var filter = createFilter(req.query.$filter);
    // collection instance from MongoDB Node.JS Driver
    collection.find(filter, function(err, data){
        res.json({
        	'@odata.context': req.protocol + '://' + req.get('host') + '/api/$metadata#products',
        	value: data
        });
    });
})

Supported OData segments

For now $filter, $select, $skip and $top

Support for $expand is next.

Supported $filter expressions

The OData v4 Parser layer supports 100% of the specification. The Connector is supporting basic MongoDB queries.

We are into creating a comprehensive feature availability chart for V1 release
