alt-fh-db

This module is aimed to provide an alternative implementation to the database functionality of the FeedHenry MBaaS API (upstream of RHMAP - Red Hat Mobile Application Platform).

Documentation

The module replicates the $fh.db interface (where $fh is an instance of fh-mbaas-api) documented in the RHMAP documentation on the Red Hat Customer Portal: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_mobile_application_platform_hosted/3/html/cloud_api/fh-db

Usage

The module is used as follows:

var mongoClient = require('alt-fh-db').client;

mongoClient.db({
  act: 'list',
  type: 'Users',
  skip: 20,
  limit: 10
}, function (err, data){
  if (err) {
    console.error("Error " + err);
  } else {
    console.log(JSON.stringify(data));
  }
});

If you are migrating from the $fh.db, you just need to replace:

var $fh = require('fh-mbaas-api');

$fh.db(...);

with

var mongoClient = require('alt-fh-db').client;
mongoClient.db(...);

The MongoDB instance is configured by the environment variable MONGODB_CONN_URL - a connection string in the standard MongoDB format.

So, when migrating from $fh.db, replace FH_MONGODB_CONN_URL with MONGODB_CONN_URL.

Testing

Run the tests by executing:

MONGODB_CONN_URL=<mongo_url> npm test
