mongo-resetter

Server/Client for resetting mongo instance running in a docker container.

Server

The server loads a fixture folder into a staging mongo database. Any client can then specify which local mongodb to load the fixtures into via an HTTP interface.

var MY_FIXTURE_PATH="/fixtures";
var MY_PORT = 8010;

var ResetterServer = require("mongo-resetter").Server;
var server = new ResetterServer();
server.listen(MY_PORT);

You can also specify a default fixture path when creating the server. The client will then not need to specify which fixtures to load.

var MY_FIXTURE_PATH="/fixtures";
var MY_PORT = 8010;

var ResetterServer = require("mongo-resetter").Server;
var server = new ResetterServer(MY_FIXTURE_PATH);
server.listen(MY_PORT);

Client

Any client can reset mongo fixtures via HTTP.

Clients first specify a set of fixture to load into a staging database

curl -X POST localhost:8010 -d '{ \
 "action": "LOAD", \
 "fixturePath": "/path/to/fixtures"
}'

Each subsequent reset action loads those fixtures into the specified database:
```bash
curl -X POST localhost:8010 -d '{ \
 "action": "RESET", \
 "db": "testing-database" \
}'

Http status 200 is returned if successful.

You can also do the above via the mongo-resetter client

var ResetterClient = require("mongo-resetter").Client;
var resetter = new ResetterClient("localhost", 8010);

//first load a fixture set into the resetter
resetter.loadFixtures("/path/to/fixtures", function(err) {
  if(err) {
    return console.error(err);
  }
  console.log("Successfully loaded fixtures");

  //now we can reset those fixtures into the testing-database
  resetter.resetFixtures("testing-database", function(err) {
    if(err) {
      return console.error(err)
    }
    console.log("Successfully reset fixtures");
  });
});
