This contains the fh.db() layer the works above the mongodb library. It has a Ditch-like interface, with the same actions and parameters
Add fh-db as a dependency to your module and require it where required, like any other npm module
N.B. This guide assumes you have a functional docker-machine.
Start the docker machine for the version of mongo you wish to test:
docker run -d -p 27017:27017 mongo:2.6
You will need to connect your localhost:27017 to the docker-machine:27017, do this with the following command:
VBoxManage controlvm `docker-machine active` natpf1 "docker-mongo,tcp,127.0.0.1,27017,,27017"
In the above docker-mongo
is the name of the rule, this is important to remember, in order to remove it when not required.
Remove the above rule as follows:
VBoxManage controlvm `docker-machine active` natpf1 delete docker-mongo
connect to Mongo:
mongo
Well, instead of MongoDB 2.6 stated above if you used MongoDB 3.x, you will need to update the authentication to work with fh-db, which is done as follows:
use admin
db.system.users.remove({})
db.system.version.remove({})
db.system.version.insert({ "_id" : "authSchema", "currentVersion" : 3 })
Then exit mongo and restart the docker container:
docker stop <container-name>
docker start <container-name>
And reconnect to mongo:
mongo
use admin
db.createUser({user: 'admin', pwd: 'admin', roles: ['root']})
exit mongo and run:
mongo admin -u admin -p admin
Log in as the admin user, if you are not yet, then run:
use fh-ditch
db.createUser({user: 'ditchuser', pwd: 'ditchpassword', roles: ['dbAdmin']})
Exit Mongo and run:
mongo fh-ditch -u ditchuser -p ditchpassword
grunt fh:unit
