hapi-rethinkdb

Hapi (>=8.0) plugin for rethinkdb native driver.

Install hapi-rethinkdb

npm install --save rethinkdb hapi-rethinkdb

Register plugin

You can pass as options either an URL (all are optionals, defaults to: no password, localhost and ) or host and port. Obviously passing an URL is way more convenient (specially for 12factor-compliant apps).

var Hapi = require('hapi');
var server = new Hapi.Server();

server.register({
  register: require('hapi-rethinkdb'),
  opts: { url: 'rethinkdb://:password@domain.tld:port/dbname' }
}, function (err) {
  if (err) console.error(err);
});

Use plugin

The connection object returned by rethinkdb.connect callback is exposed on server.plugins['hapi-rethinkdb'].connection and binded to the context on routes and extensions as this.rethinkdbConn. You can find the rethinkdb library itself exposed on server.plugins['hapi-rethinkdb'].library and server.plugins['hapi-rethinkdb'].rethinkdb or binded to the context on routes and extensions as this.rethinkdb.

From a handler you can use it like:

function handler (request, response) {
  var r = request.server.plugins['hapi-rethinkdb'].rethinkdb;
  // r === this.rethinkdb;

  var conn = request.server.plugins['hapi-rethinkdb'].connection;
  // conn === this.rethinkdbConn;

  r.table('example').run(conn, function (err, cursor) {
    cursor.each(console.log);
  });
}
