nems

nodejs-embedded-mongodb-standalone is a promise based embedded mongodb distribution library that downloads a appropriate mongodb and utilizes it as standalone, e.g. for integration/functional tests.

Features

Distributer

Downloads and extracts mongodb for a given version and download directory. The version is mandatory, the download directory may default to the OS temporary directory.

Usage:

var nems = require('nems');

nems.distribute('3.2.8', '.')
    .then(function (path) {
      // do anything else with the 'path' to the extracted mongo directory
    }).catch(function(err) {
      // catch any DownloadError, ExtractionError or standard Error
    });

You can use the download and extraction service separately:

Usage:

var nems = require('nems');

nems.download('3.2.8', '.')
    .then(function (file) {
      // do anything else with the 'file' string
    }.catch(err) {
      // catch any DownloadError or standard Error
    };
    
nems.extract('/path/to/file.gz', '3.2.8', '.')
    .then(function (path) {
      // do anything else with the 'path' to the extracted mongo directory
    }.catch(err) {
      // catch any ExtractionError or standard Error
    };

Process

Start a mongodb for the given file path.

Usage:

var nems = require('nems');

/**
 * Parameter: 
 *  path - path to the mongodb installation
 *  port - the mongodb port (optional)
 *  noprealloc - do not pre-allocate (optional)
 *  nojournal - do not use a journal (optional)
 *  dbpath - db working directory, if different from installation path (optional)
 * 
 */
nems.startMongo('path/to/mongodb/installation', 27017, true, true, 'path/to/db/working/directory')
    .then(function (pid) {
      // do anything with the returned process id
    }.catch(err) {
      // catch any standard Error, e.g. if child process to start mongo crashed
    };

Interface

A sophisticated module interface to download, extract and start a mongodb at once, as well as stopping it.

Usage:

var nems = require('nems');

/**
 * Parameter: 
 *  version - the desired mongodb version
 *  downloadDir - the directory to download and extract to (optional, defaults to the OS temporary directory)
 *  port - the mongodb port (optional)
 *  noprealloc - do not pre-allocate (optional)
 *  nojournal - do not use a journal (optional)
 *  dbpath - db working directory, if different from installation path (optional)
 * 
 */
nems.start('3.2.8', '.', 27017, true, true, 'path/to/db/working/directory')
    .then(function (pid) {
      // do anything with the returned process id
    }.catch(err) {
      // catch any MongoError or standard Error, e.g. if child process to start mongo crashed
    };
    
/**
 * Parameter: 
 *  path - path to the mongodb installation
 *  dbpath - db working directory, if different from installation path (optional)
 */
nems.stop('path/to/mongodb/installation','path/to/db/working/directory')
    .then(function (successMessage) {
      // do anything after mongodb shutdown
    }.catch(err) {
      // catch any MongoError or standard Error, e.g. if child process to start mongo crashed
    };

Install

npm i -S nems

Scripts

Within this module use:

• npm start : node bin/start [version [directory [port [noprealloc [nojournal [dbpath]]]]]] will download, extract and start a mongodb for given version, download directory and additional parameter.

• npm run dax : node bin/dax [version [directory]] will download and extract mongodb for given version and download directory.

• npm run stop : node bin/stop [binPath [dbpath]] will stop mongodb for given db installation path and/or working directory.

If no parameters are given, defaults (version 2.4.9 and OS temp folder, resp. dbpath) are used.
Use only the 'h' flag to see further usage information.
HINT: use double-minus to pass parameters to npm run command, e.g npm start -- version

Within the source code project:

• npm test : ./node_modules/gulp/bin/gulp.js test runs jshint on gulp, test and source files and runs all tests with code coverage analysis.
