mongo-feed

Minimalist feed service using mongo

Description

var mongoFeed = require('mongo-feed');
var feed = new MongoFeed('db,'Test Feed');
feed.post({a:1,b:2},cb);
// later...
feed.post({x:11,z:22},cb);
// later...
feed.post({w:9,m:8},cb);
// later...
feed.recent(10,null, function(err,items) {
// items would be [
//     { w:9,m:8,_feed_posted_on : <ts>, _feed_seq_no : 3},
//     { x:11,z:22,_feed_posted_on : <ts>, _feed_seq_no : 2},
//     { a:1,b:2,_feed_posted_on : <ts>, _feed_seq_no : 1}
//  ]
});
feed.recent(10,2, function(err,items) {
// items would be [ { x:11,z:22,_feed_posted_on : <ts>, _feed_seq_no : 2}  ]

The module reserves attributes prefixed with _feed. It currently adds the following two attributes

• _feed_seq_no - unique sequencial id starting from 1 for the first post
• _feed_posted_on datetime in this format : 2014-03-01T16:30:38.909Z

The module allows posting an object multiple times, ie, you can safely include an _id attribute in the posted object.

Installation

Installing the module

npm install mongo-feed
