Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

CLI for backing up your MongoDB database

Readme

Mongoba

Welcome to Mongoba!

What is Mongoba?

Mongoba is a simple CLI tool for backing up your MongoDB databases. It is written in Typescript and uses Mongoose for connecting to MongoDB. It backups your MongoDB databases to a local json file and has options to encrypt it with a custom key.

Why is it called Mongoba?

Mongoba is a combination of the words MongoDB and Backup.

Installation

Mongoba is available on the npm registry. You can install it using the following command:

With pnpm:

pnpm i -g mongoba

With yarn:

yarn global add mongoba

With npm:

npm i -g mongoba

Usage

Backup (Mongoba)

You can use Mongoba by running the following command:

mongoba

Then, you'll be prompted to enter some required information about your MongoDB database and the backup file.

Decrypting (Mongobad)

When you install mongoba, mongobad is automatically available in your terminal. It stands for mongoba decrypt and it is used to decrypt the backup file, if you choose to encrypt it. You can use it by running the following command:

mongobad

After executing the command, you'll be prompted to enter the path to the backup file and the password you used to encrypt it. Also, some available options will be displayed.

Restoring (Mongobar)

As well as the other two commands, mongobar is also available in your terminal. It stands for mongoba restore and it is used to restore the backup file to your MongoDB database. You can use it by running the following command:

mongobar

It's self explanatory. It's a simple way to restore a backup file to your MongoDB database.

Purging (Mongobap)

This command is available too! If you did something wrong and need to delete it, e.g. restored the wrong backup, you can use mongobap.

mongobap

And there you go!
