MongoDB Stitch - Movie Collection Demo

What is this app doing?

This application provides several ways to save a movie title into your MongoDB Atlas cluster using MongoDB Stitch.

• HTTP POST,
• Twilio text message,
• Using the Stitch Javascript SDK in a website hosted on Stitch.

Once we have our movie saved in our collection, a trigger is used to enrich our document automatically with data from the OMDB API.

Then another trigger detects the movie ratings so we calculate stats when a movie is updated or deleted.

Deploy the Stitch App

• Create a free cluster in MongoDB Atlas. Save the name of it, you will need it later.
• Install Stitch CLI.
• Setup the API key + whitelist your IP address in Atlas.
• Add the following environment variable in your env.

export STITCH_USERNAME="<your Atlas login email>"
export STITCH_API_KEY="XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"

• [Optional] To make the website work,
  • Go to Google Authentication,
  • Create a Google OAuth 2.0 client ID and secret (see details below).
• [Optional] To be able to send movie title from your phone,
  • Setup Twilio,
  • You will need the Twilio SID and auth token.
  • Then when the app is created, you will need to forward the text messages from Twilio to the Stitch webhook provided in the IMDB_Twilio service.
• Generate a free API key for OMDB API. They will send you an email in which you need to click the validation link.
• Start the 1_pushToNewStitchProject.sh script and follow the instructions.
  • If you don't have something, just hit enter, you can fix it later in Stitch.
  • Secrets are not echoed in the shell so don't be surprised.
• Add the following environment variable in your env. You can find your APPID in the Stitch website or at the end of the previous script output.

export STITCH_APPID="myproject-abcde"

• You can now use the scripts 2 & 3 to work with your own new project now.

Trouble with Google Credentials to make the website work?

It should look like this.

• The first authorized redirect URI is for Stitch Global deployments.
• The second one is for Stitch Local deployment in Ireland.

Ideas & support

• Please open Github tickets.
• This is still a work in progress project so please don't judge me too much just yet :-).
