@startupjs/server-aggregate

Racer server aggregate plugin. It allows only server-defined aggregate queries.

Install

yarn add @startupjs/server-aggregate

Setup

In the client code:

require('@startupjs/server-aggregate/client')

On the server:

const serverAggregate = require('@startupjs/server-aggregate')
serverAggregate(backend, customCheck)

where:

• backend: your ShareDB backend instance
• customCheck (optional): your personal check function. It should return an error message if there is an error. IMPORTANT The message must be of type string.

How to add aggregation

On the server side to add aggregation use backend.addAggregate(collection, queryName, cb), where:

• collection: collection name
• queryName: query name (alias)
• cb(params, shareRequest): async function that returns a query object or throw an error

backend.addAggregate('items', 'main', async (params, shareRequest) => {
  // ...
  // access control or whatever
  // ...

  return [
    {$match: {type: 'wooden'}}
  ]
})

Usage

model.query('items', {
  $aggregationName: 'main',
  $params: {
    type: 'global'
  }
})

When you setup the client side as described in the Setup section you can use the aggregateQuery(collection, queryName, params) function which is syntactic sugar over the model.query, where:

model.aggregateQuery('items', 'main', { type: 'global' })
