rvl-pipe-mongodb

rvl-pipe-mongodb is a small set of rvl-pipe style wrappers for mongodb. It just cover a small set of connection, query and update functions.

rvl-pipe library provides a way to compose async functions using a pipeline approach. Every rvl-pipe function has a simple construct.

const myAsycTask = (taskParams) => context => {
    // Do async tasks
    // Mutate context, perform side-effects
    if (someError) {
        return Promise.reject(error)
    }
 
    return Promise.resolve(context)
}

Version 2.0.0 the one with Typings (in TypeScript)

This version is the first completely ported to TypeScript so the build process exports the type definitions.

Function types

For Mongodb the set of functions are of 3 types: connection, query and updates.

Connection

• connectMongoDB(urlFn, dbNameFn, optionsFn): Creates a connection step, You need to pass url, dbName and connection options as functions that pull the right information from the context or simply use a constant function (like always) Only runs once. So you can use the same step several times without actually attempting the connection process. It will add a mongodb property to the context.

return each(
    connectMongoDB(always(process.env.MONGO_URL), always(process.env.MONGO_DB), always({...})),
    should(prop('mongodb'), 'NoMongoDBConnection')
)()

• closeMongoDB(): Closes the DB connection that exists on the context.

return each(
    connectMongoDB(always(process.env.MONGO_URL), always(process.env.MONGO_DB), always({...})),
    // Do some DB operations
    closeMongoDB()
)()

To handle connection errors is best to wrap your functions with the ensure function from rvl-pipe:

return ensure(
    each(
        connectMongoDB(always(process.env.MONGO_URL), always(process.env.MONGO_DB), always({...})),
        // Do some DB operations
        // ...
    ),
    closeMongoDB()
)()

Queries

• runQueryOne(collection, filterFn, propName, options?): Performs a simple findOne query. We need to especify, collection, filter, property name to store value and options to define the props we want to retrieve. the optionsFn params in not mandatory.

return ensure(
    each(
        connectMongoDB(always(process.env.MONGO_URL), always(process.env.MONGO_DB), always({...})),
        runQueryOne('contacts', always({ _id: uidToFind }), 'foundContact'),
        should(prop('foundContact'), 'ContactNotFound')
        runQueryOne('users', prop({ id: prop('foundContant.id') }), 'user', always({ projection: { email: 1 } })) // Only retrieves email
    ),
    closeMongoDB()
)()

You can also use dynamic data for the filter

return ensure(
    each(
        connectMongoDB(always(process.env.MONGO_URL), always(process.env.MONGO_DB), always({...})),
        runQueryOne('contacts', props({ _id: prop('contactId') }), 'foundContact'),
        should(prop('foundContact'), 'ContactNotFound')
    ),
    closeMongoDB()
)({ contactId: '209889833' })

• runQuery(collection, filterFn, propName, options?): Similar to runQueryOne but returning all resulting documents. (This function is not designed to be performant in terms of memory consumption since it uses the toArray() on the resulting find cursor.

return ensure(
    each(
        connectMongoDB(always(process.env.MONGO_URL), always(process.env.MONGO_DB), always({...})),
        runQuery('projects', props({ owner: prop('owner') }), 'ownerProjects'),
        should(prop('ownerProjects'), 'ProjectsNotFound')
    ),
    closeMongoDB()
)({ owner: '209889833' })

• runQueryAggregation(collection, pipelineFns, propName, options?): Similar to runQuery but, using the mongodb aggregate function and using the pipelineFns array of functions to define the aggregation pipeline. Also, returning all resulting documents. (This function is not designed to be performant in terms of memory consumption since it uses the toArray() on the resulting aggregate cursor.

return ensure(
    each(
        connectMongoDB(always(process.env.MONGO_URL), always(process.env.MONGO_DB), always({...})),
        runQueryAggregation(
            'projects',
            [
                props({ $match: { owner: prop('owner') } })
            ],
            'ownerProjects'
        ),
        should(prop('ownerProjects'), 'ProjectsNotFound')
    ),
    closeMongoDB()
)({ owner: '209889833' })

• runQueryExists(collection, filterFn, propName): Exactly as runQueryOne but will return true | false if the document exists on the DB

return ensure(
    each(
        connectMongoDB(always(process.env.MONGO_URL), always(process.env.MONGO_DB), always({...})),
        runQueryExists('contacts', always({ _id: uidToFind }), 'foundContact'),
        should(prop('foundContact'), 'ContactNotFound')
    ),
    closeMongoDB()
)()

• runQueryCount(collection, filterFn, propName): Exactly as runQueryExists but will return how many documents match on the DB

return ensure(
    each(
        connectMongoDB(always(process.env.MONGO_URL), always(process.env.MONGO_DB), always({...})),
        runQueryCount('contacts', always({ _id: uidToFind }), 'contactCount'),
        should(
            equal(
                prop('contactCount'),
                always(2)
            ),
            'ContactCountDiffersFromTwo'
        )
    ),
    closeMongoDB()
)()

Creating and Updating documents

• createDocument(collection, dataFn, propName): Creates a simple document passing the collection and the data for it.

return ensure(
    each(
        connectMongoDB(always(process.env.MONGO_URL), always(process.env.MONGO_DB), always({...})),
        createDocument('contacts', always({ _id: cuid(), name: 'John', last: 'Doe' }), 'newContact'),
        should(prop('newContact'), 'ContactNotCreated')
    ),
    closeMongoDB()
)()

• updateDocumentOne(collection, filterFn, modificationFn): Updates one document passing the collection, the filter to find the document we want to change and the modification object.

return ensure(
    each(
        connectMongoDB(always(process.env.MONGO_URL), always(process.env.MONGO_DB), always({...})),
        updateDocumentOne('contacts', always({ _id: uidToChange }), always({ $set: { name: 'Mary' } }))
    ),
    closeMongoDB()
)()

• upsertDocument(collection, filterFn, dataFn, propName): This function will create a step to upsert a document based on a filter function. You can create a new document, upsertDocument will try to find if that document already exists and update that document, if not, then creates a new one.

return ensure(
    each(
        connectMongoDB(always(process.env.MONGO_URL), always(process.env.MONGO_DB), always({...})),
        upsertDocument('contacts', always({ _id: uidToFind }), always({ _id: uidToFind, name, last }), 'contact')
    ),
    closeMongoDB()
)()

Creating your own mongodb functions

You can use this approach to create your own mongodb functions. Your function signature should look like this:

const myMongoDBOp = (params) => ctx => {
    return ctx.mongodb.db.collection(...).op(...)
        .then(...) // mutates context if necessary
 
        .then(() => ctx) // return context at the end of the chain
}

If you want to see a function included in here let me know by opening an issue.
