Troubleshooting
Index for sorting
It may be required to create the following index for faster sorting (see #24)
db.agendaJobs.ensureIndex({
"nextRunAt" : -1,
"lastRunAt" : -1,
"lastFinishedAt" : -1
}, "agendash")
Roadmap
Install
npm install --save agendash
Note: Agendash
requires mongodb version >2.6.0 to perform the needed aggregate queries. This is your mongo database version, not your node package version! To check your database version, connect to mongo and run db.version()
.
Middleware usage
Express
Agendash provides Express middleware you can use at a specified path, for example this will
make Agendash available on your site at the /dash
path. Note: Do not try to mount Agendash
at the root level like app.use('/', Agendash(agenda))
.
var express = require("express");
var app = express();
var Agenda = require("agenda");
var Agendash = require("agendash");
var agenda = new Agenda({ db: { address: "mongodb://127.0.0.1/agendaDb" } });
app.use("/dash", Agendash(agenda));
By mounting Agendash as middleware on a specific path, you may provide your
own authentication for that path. For example if you have an authenticated
session using passport, you can protect the dashboard path like this:
app.use(
"/dash",
function (req, res, next) {
if (!req.user || !req.user.is_admin) {
res.send(401);
} else {
next();
}
},
Agendash(agenda)
);
Other middlewares will come soon in the folder /lib/middlewares/
.
You'll just have to update the last line to require the middleware you need:
app.use(
"/agendash",
Agendash(agenda, {
middleware: "connect",
})
);
Note that if you use a CSRF protection middleware like csurf
, you might need to configure it off for Agendash-routes.
Hapi
A minimum Node.js version 12 is required for @hapi/hapi
dependency.
npm i @hapi/inert @hapi/hapi
const agenda = new Agenda().database(
"mongodb://127.0.0.1/agendaDb",
"agendaJobs"
);
const server = require("@hapi/hapi").server({
port: 3002,
host: "localhost",
});
await server.register(require("@hapi/inert"));
await server.register(
Agendash(agenda, {
middleware: "hapi",
})
);
await server.start();
Then browse to http://localhost:3002/
.
Koa
npm i koa koa-bodyparser koa-router koa-static
const agenda = new Agenda().database(
"mongodb://127.0.0.1/agendaDb",
"agendaJobs"
);
const Koa = require("koa");
const app = new Koa();
const middlewares = Agendash(agenda, {
middleware: "koa",
});
for (const middleware of middlewares) {
app.use(middleware);
}
await app.listen(3002);
Then browse to http://localhost:3002/
.
Fastify
npm i fastify
const agenda = new Agenda().database(
"mongodb://127.0.0.1/agendaDb",
"agendaJobs"
);
const Fastify = require("fastify");
const fastify = new Fastify();
fastify.register(
Agendash(
agenda,
{ middleware: "fastify" }
);
);
await fastify.listen(3002);
Then browse to http://localhost:3002/
.
Standalone usage
Agendash comes with a standalone Express app which you can use like this:
./node_modules/.bin/agendash --db=mongodb://localhost/agendaDb --collection=agendaCollection --port=3002
or like this, for default collection agendaJobs
and default port 3000
:
./node_modules/.bin/agendash --db=mongodb://localhost/agendaDb
If you are using npm >= 5.2, then you can use npx:
npx agendash --db=mongodb://localhost/agendaDb --collection=agendaCollection --port=3002
Then browse to http://localhost:3002/
.
Docker usage
Agendash can also be run within a Docker container like this:
docker run -p 3000:3000 \
--env MONGODB_URI=mongo://myUser:myPass@myHost/myDb \
--env COLLECTION=myAgendaCollection agenda/agendash
Then browse to http://localhost:3000/
