mongo-oplog

Listening to MongoDB live changes using oplog.

Features

• Support start and stop tailing the MongoDB oplog at any time.
• Support filtering oplog events by namespaces (database and collections).
• Built on top of the native NodeJS MongoDB driver.
• First class Promise support which enable the use of async and await.
• The package has a very small footprint and requires just a few dependencies including mongodb, debug and eventemitter3.
• Uses eventemitter3 for high performance event emitting.
• Strict and readable code enforced with xo
• Unit tested with mocha and built with babel for backward compatibility with older versions of NodeJS like v4.x and v5.x.

IMPORTANT! Major update version 2.0.x

2.0.x is a major rewrite taking advantage of es6 and adding support for promises and async/await. Callbacks are still supported for backward compatibility. This version has minimum API changes, but these changes might affect your code, so please take a look at the upgrading guide before installing.

Usage

import MongoOplog from 'mongo-oplog'
const oplog = MongoOplog('mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/local', { ns: 'test.posts' })

oplog.tail();

oplog.on('op', data => {
  console.log(data);
});

oplog.on('insert', doc => {
  console.log(doc);
});

oplog.on('update', doc => {
  console.log(doc);
});

oplog.on('delete', doc => {
  console.log(doc.o._id);
});

oplog.on('error', error => {
  console.log(error);
});

oplog.on('end', () => {
  console.log('Stream ended');
});

oplog.stop(() => {
  console.log('server stopped');
});

API

MongoOplog(uri, [options])

• uri: Valid MongoDB uri or a MongoDB server instance.
• options MongoDB connection options.

oplog.tail([fn])

Start tailing. This method support both Promise and callback.

oplog.tail().then(() => {
  console.log('tailing started')
}).catch(err => console.error(err))

// or with async/await
async function tail() {
  try {
    await oplog.tail()
    console.log('tailing started')
  } catch (err) {
    console.log(err)
  }
}

oplog.stop([fn])

Stop tailing and disconnect from server. This method support both Promise and callback.

oplog.stop().then(() => {
  console.log('tailing stopped')
}).catch(err => console.error(err))

// or with async/await
async function stop() {
  try {
    await oplog.stop()
    console.log('tailing stopped')
  } catch (err) {
    console.log(err)
  }
}

oplog.destroy([fn])

Destroy the mongo-oplog object by stop tailing and disconnecting from server. This method support both Promise and callback.

oplog.destroy.then(() => {
  console.log('destroyed')
}).catch(err => console.error(err))

// or with async/await
async function destroy() {
  try {
    await oplog.destroy()
    console.log('destroyed')
  } catch (err) {
    console.log(err)
  }
}

oplog.ignore

Pause and resume oplog events.

oplog.ignore = true; // to pause
oplog.ignore = false // to resume

oplog.filter(ns)

Create and return a filter object.

const filter = oplog.filter('*.posts')
filter.on('op', fn)
oplog.tail()

filter.destroy()

Destroy filter object.

filter.destroy()

filter.ignore

Pause and resume filter events.

filter.ignore = true; // to pause
filter.ignore = false // to resume

events

Events supported by oplog and filter;

• op: All bellow operations (oplog/filter).
• insert: Document insert (oplog/filter).
• update: Document update (oplog/filter).
• delete: Document delete (oplog/filter).
• end: Cursor stream ended (oplog).
• error: Error (oplog).

Run tests

Configure MongoDB for active oplog:

Start MongoDB with:

$ mongod --replSet test

Start a mongo shell and configure mongo as follows:

$ mongo
> var config = {_id: "test", members: [{_id: 0, host: "127.0.0.1:27017"}]}
> rs.initiate(config)

Once configuration is initiated then you can run the test:

$ npm install
$ npm run test
