passiondb

MongoDB model layer for the Passion platform. Mirrors the architecture of payservedb.

Installation

npm install passiondb

Or if using locally (linked package):

npm install ../path/to/passiondb

Environment Variables

Copy .env.example to .env and fill in your MongoDB credentials:

MONGODB_USER=
MONGODB_PASSWORD=
MONGODB_HOST=
MONGODB_PORT=

Usage

Full connection (all models)

const passiondb = require("passiondb");

await passiondb.connectToMongoDB(
  "passion_main",   // dbName
  true,             // secured (false = no auth)
  "user",           // username
  "pass",           // password
  "127.0.0.1",      // host
  27017             // port
);

const user = await passiondb.User.findById(id);

Selective model loading (microservices)

Only loads the models you need — keeps memory lean for smaller services.

const passiondb = require("passiondb");

const { connectToMongoDB } = passiondb.initializeService(["User"]);

await connectToMongoDB("passion_main", true, "user", "pass", "127.0.0.1", 27017);

const user = await passiondb.User.findOne({ email: "[email protected]" });

Secondary database connection

Use this when you have a separate DB (e.g. passion_analytics) with its own models.

await passiondb.connectToPassionSecondaryDB(
  "passion_secondary",
  true,
  "user",
  "pass",
  "127.0.0.1",
  27017
);

// passiondb.secondary.MySecondaryModel is now available

Dynamic DB switching

const conn = await passiondb.switchDB("passion_archive");
const MyModel = await passiondb.getModelFromDB(conn, "User", UserSchema);

Adding Models

1. Create your model file in src/models/my_model.js
2. Register it in the models object in index.js:

const models = {
  User: require("./src/models/user"),
  MyModel: require("./src/models/my_model"),  // ← add here
};

For secondary DB models, add to secondaryModelDefs instead.
