General usage

The api is very simple and fluent.

simpleDao
  .for(Account)
  .find({})
  .toArray()
  .then(function (results) {
    // do somethig with the results;  
  })
  .catch(function (err) {
    // we crashed
  });

If you are working in a promise based solution you can just return.

return simpleDao
  .for(Account)
  .find({})
  .toArray();

Or if you much rather use a stream (changed API on 2.0 toCursor returns a promise as well)

simpleDao
  .for(Account)
  .find({})
  .toCursor()
  .then((cursor) => {
    cursor.on("data", function (datum) {
      // do work
    })
    .on("end", function () {
      //we are done
    })
    .on("error", function (err) {
      //we crashed
    });
  });

Api

new SimpleDao(config, logger)

Changed in v2.0 we added the logger non mandatory parameter. Logger is expected to implement the .info and .error methods.

Creates a new instance of a simple dao. The config argument is expected to have the form.

config = {
  db: {
  options: {
      database: "simple_dao_test",
      username: "",
      password: ""
    },
    uris: ["127.0.0.1:27017"]
  }
};

.for(Model)

Returns an instance of a Operator that will map results to instances of the Model The Model class is expected to have an static factory method. The Model class can have an static collectioName method that the Operator will use to query the collection if the collectionName is not found it will use the name of the class (object) in lower case as the name of the collection.

let operator = simpleDao.for(Account);
//this will query a collection with the name "account"

If we want to use a different name, we can create a model with the collectionName static function

class User {

  static collectionName() {
    return "people";
  }

  static factory(literal) {
    var user = new User();
    user.name = literal.name;
    //Other mappings transformations go hear.
    return user;
  }
}

let operator = simpleDao.for(User);
//In this case it will query a collection with the name "people";

.aggregate(collectionName, pipeline)

This method will return a promise. The promise should resolve to a stream cursor with the result of applying the given pipeline unto the collection of the given collectionName.

let pipeline = [
  {$group: {_id: "$accountId", totalPop: {$sum: "$dataMapId"}}}
];

simpleDao
  .aggregate("accounts", pipeline)
  .then(function (cursor) {
    cursor
      .on("data", function (datum) {
        // work with the data
      })
      .on("end", function () {
        //we are done
      })
      .on("error", function (err) {
        //we crashed
      });
    });

The aggregate method will use the following options when calling the database.

{
  allowDiskUse: true,
  cursor: {batchSize: 1000}
}

allowDiskUse will prevent errors due to size limits on the results.

.save(model)

It will save the model into a collection for that model (see above on the for method to understand how the collection name is set). There is no serialization strategy at the moment so "all" public methods and properties will be saved into the database.

.dropCollection(name)

It will drop the collection from the database.

.objectId()

There are an static and an instance version of the method for convenience. It takes an optional parameter that should be a valid 24 characters id.

Static version

SimpleDao.objectId() //Returns a new ObjectID;
SimpleDao.objectId("55b27c2a74757b3c5e121b0e") //Return an ObjectID for that id.

Instance version

let simpleDao = new SimpleDao(config);
simpleDao.objectId() //Returns a new ObjectID;
simpleDao.objectId("55b27c2a74757b3c5e121b0e") //Return an ObjectID for that id.

connectionString

Is a property that will return the connection string the object is using to connect to Mongo.

new Operator() //Private

The Operator is a private object that is accessed via the .for method factory on a SimpleDao instance.

.count(query)

It will perform a .count on the collection that the operator have been created for (see above on the for method to understand how the collection name is set) with the given query. If the query is not provided it will default to a count on the complete collection.

simpleDao.for(Account).count({name: "new account"}); //Returns a promise that will resolve to the count of documents matching the query.

.find(query, options)

It will perform a find on the collection that the operator have been created for (see above on the for method to understand how the collection name is set) with the given query and options. The query and options are the same as with the node mongodb driver find method.

let innerCursor = simpleDao.for(Account).find({}); //Returns an inner cursor with all documents in the account collection.

.findOne(query)

It will perform a findOne on the collection that the operator have been created for (see above on the for method to understand how the collection name is set) with the given query.

simpleDao.for(Account).findOne({name: "new account"}); //Returns a promise that will resolve to the document or null (if it can't find one).

.findById(id)

It will perform a findOne on the collection that the operator have been created for (see above on the for method to understand how the collection name is set) with the query {_id: id}.

simpleDao.for(Account).findById(SimpleDao.objectId("55b27c2a74757b3c5e121b0e")); //Returns a promise that will resolve to the document or null (if it can't find one).

You can pass anything to the id not just ObjectID, it will depend on what do you use to generate the _id in the mongo collections.

.findAggregate(pipeline)

An alternative to the aggregate method on SimpleDao, but is meant to be used with for method (see above). Same options of aggregate applies.

let innerCursor = simpleDao.for(Account).findAggregate([{"$match": {...}}, {"$unwind": {...}}, ...]); //Returns an inner cursor with all the aggregates for the account collection.

.removeById(id)

It will perform a remove on the collection that the operator have been created for (see above on the for method to understand how the collection name is set) with the query {_id: id}.

simpleDao.for(Account).removeById(SimpleDao.objectId("55b27c2a74757b3c5e121b0e")); //Returns a promise that will resolve to the remove result: {ok: 1, n: 1} where n is the count of deleted documents.

You can pass anything to the id not just ObjectID, it will depend on what do you use to generate the _id in the mongo collections.

.remove(query)

It will perform a remove on the collection that the operator have been created for (see above on the for method to understand how the collection name is set) with the given query.

simpleDao.for(Account).remove({name: "super"}); //Returns a promise that will resolve to the remove result: {ok: 1, n: 5} where n is the count of deleted documents.

.update(query, update, options)

It will perform an update on the collection that the operator have been created for (see above on the for method to understand how the collection name is set) with the given query, applying the update and options. The query, update and options are the same as with the node mongodb driver update method.

simpleDao.for(Account).update({name: "new account"}, { $set: {name: "Peter account"}}); //Returns a promise with the result report than the node mongodb driver.

new innerCursor() //Private

The innerCursor is a private object that is accessed via the .find method factory on an instance of the Operator. It contains only 2 methods

.toArray()

It will iterate over the results and create instance of the Model given to the .for method. It will return a promise that will resolve to an array with the results.

.toCursor()

It will return a streaming cursor with the results.

Mock Simple Dao

It is a mock for testing simple-dao that supports all the simple-dao operations. Currently, for find and findAggregate toCursor() is not available.

how to use

You can pass a source object specifying the expected result for each operation.

const mockSimpleDao = require("btrz-simple-dao").mockSimpleDao;`

source = {
  find: [data],
  update: {}
};
mockDao = mockSimpleDao(source);

mockDao.find().toArray();
//  [data]
