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 🙏

Readme

monkster

npm version

A Node.js package that provides high availability for Monk, the wise MongoDB API. It implements smart error handling and retry logic to handle temporary network connectivity issues and replica set step-downs seamlessly.

Motivations

  • Unexpected network connectivity / DNS server issues could cause queries to fail every once in a while
  • Replica set step-downs would cause outstanding queries to fail with "Could not locate any valid servers in initial seed list", "sockets closed", and "ECONNRESET" before additional queries would get buffered up even though bufferMaxEntries is correctly configured

Usage

First, install the package using npm:

npm install monkster --save

Then, require monkster and wrap your collections with it, as demonstrated here:

var monk = require('monk');
var monkster = require('monkster');

// Initialize Monk with your MongoDB connection string
var db = monk('localhost/test');

// Initialize Monkster and customize its error handling behavior
var wrap = monkster({
    // If a query fails more than X times, give up on it (default: 60)
    maxTries: 60,
    // Number of milliseconds to wait before retrying a failed query (default: 1000)
    retryInterval: 1000,
    // Optionally log slow queries 
    logSlowQueries: false,
    // Only log slow queries taking longer than the following threshold (in ms)
    logSlowQueryThreshold: 100
});

// Wrap your collections with monkster
var logs = wrap(db.get('logs'));
var users = wrap(db.get('users'));

Finally, invoke your queries as you are used to -- Monkster will take care of the error handling and retry logic for you. Feel free to use ES6 generators to achieve this.

try {
    // Insert a document into the collection (with generators)
    yield users.insert({ name: 'Hello World' });
}
catch (err) {
    // Query failed for more than "maxTries" number of tries
}

// Count number of documents in the collection (with promises)
var count = users.count({})
    .then(function (count) {
        // Query succeeded
        console.log('Number of documents', count);
    }).catch(function (err) {
        // Query failed for more than "maxTries" number of tries
    });

Check out examples/basic.js for a more complete example.

Configuration

Monkster supports the following configuration, passed in when invoking monkster:

var options = {
    // If a query fails more than X times, give up on it
    maxTries: 60,
    // Number of milliseconds to wait before retrying a failed query
    retryInterval: 1000
}

var wrap = monkster(options);
