Poseidon Mongo

Poseidon Mongo provides a promise layer around the Node Native MongoDB driver with the help of the Poseidon library.

It has performance on par with the plain mongodb native library

Native MongoDB x 277 ops/sec ±2.42% (80 runs sampled)
Poseidon MongoDB x 271 ops/sec ±2.65% (71 runs sampled)
Fastest is Native MongoDB,Poseidon MongoDB

Install

To get started simply run

npm install poseidon-mongo

Introduction

Compare the example below to the original introduction for the Node MongoDB Native Driver.

Javascript

Mongo = require('../index.js');
Driver = new Mongo.Driver();
Database = Mongo.Database;
assert = require('assert');
Driver.configure('test', { hosts: ['127.0.0.1:27017'], database: 'test', options: { w: 1 } });
 
client = new Database(Driver, 'test');
client.collection('test_insert')
.then(function(collection){
  return collection.insert({a:2})
  .then(function(docs){
    return collection.count();
  }).then(function(count){
    assert(count, 1);
    return collection.find();
  }).then(function(cursor){
    return cursor.toArray();
  }).then(function(results){
    assert(results.length, 1);
    assert(results[0].a, 2);
  })
}).finally(function(){
  client.close();
}).done();

Coffeescript

It get even better with Jeremy Ashkenas' Coffescript.

Mongo = require '../index'
Driver = new Mongo.Driver()
{Database} = Mongo
assert = require 'assert'
 
Driver.configure('test', { hosts: ['127.0.0.1:27017'], database: 'test', options: { w: 1 } })
 
client = new Database(Driver, 'test')
client.collection('test_insert')
.then (collection) ->
  collection.insert({a:2})
  .then (docs) ->
    collection.count()
  .then (count) ->
    assert(count, 1);
    collection.find()
  .then (cursor) ->
    cursor.toArray();
  .then (results) ->
    assert(results.length, 1);
    assert(results[0].a, 2);
.finally () ->
  client.close()
.done()

API

The API for poseidon Mongo contains the complete API for the Node MongoDB Native driver's Db, Collection and Cursor classes.

Driver

The driver class provides for a easy management and configuration of databases through your entire application.

Driver.configure(connection, configuration)

Configures a connection using the given configuration. The possible configuration parameters are given below:

Driver.openConnection(connection)

Open a previously configured connection and cache it for future reuse.

Driver.closeConnection(connection)

Close a connection and remove it from the cache.

Driver.reset()

Close all open connections and delete all configurations.
