mongodb-resource-client
Light wrapper around MongoDB client library to allow for easier management of resources and documents. All storage modules are based on the best practices described in the article 6 Rules of Thumb for MongoDB Schema Design from the official MongoDB blog.
Components
History / Auditing
The module provides support for history / auditing tables to keep track of changes made to documents. The ResourceStorageHistory
component can be used as an extension
of a storage instance e.g. SimpleResourceStorage
. An instance of ResourceStorageHistory
can listen to storage events of another storage instance and populate a ${resourceName}_history
collection with timestamp, change type, and the full resource state.
const { EventEmiter } = require('events')
const { OneToFewResourceStorage, ResourceStorageHistory } = require('@discue/mongodb-resource-client')
const eventEmitter = new EventEmitter()
const collectionName = 'api_clients'
const url = 'mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017'
const oneToFewResourceStorage = new OneToFewResourceStorage({
url,
collectionName,
eventEmitter
})
const history = new ResourceStorageHistory({
url,
collectionName,
usageEventPrefix: oneToFewResourceStorage.usageEventPrefix
eventEmitter
})
history.listenForStorageEvents()
Transactions
The module supports transactions for atomic updates of multiple collections. However, as only MongoDB replica sets support transactions, transaction support needs to be explicitly enabled via setting the environment variable DSQ_MONGOD_ENABLE_TRANSACTIONS
with value true
.
Locks
The module supports creating locks. Meaning: A way to synchronize application functionality e.g. for rate limiting. Check out the ResourceLock documentation to find out more.
Database name
The database name can be configured via environment variable: DSQ_MONGOD_RESOURCE_CLIENT_DB_NAME
