Mongous

Mongous, for humongous, is a simple and blazing fast MongoDB driver that uses a jQuery like syntax.

How it works

var $ = require("mongous").Mongous;

$("database.collection").save({my:"value"});

$("database.collection").find({},function(r){
    console.log(r);
});

Done. App development has never felt as close to the shell as this! Making it a breeze to grab'n'store anything anywhere in your code without the nasty hassle of connections, collections, and cascading callbacks.

Database & Collections

• db('Database.Collection')
  • Database is the name of your database
  • Collection is the name of your collection
  • Examples
    • db('blog.post')
    • db('blog.post.body')

Commands

• Update db('blog.post').update(find, update, ...)
  • find is the object you want to find.
  • update is what you want to update find with.
  • ...
    • { upsert: true, multi: false }
    • true, true
• Save db('blog.post').save(what)
  • what is the object to be updated or created.
• Insert db('blog.post').insert(what...)
  • what is an object to be created. is an array of objects to be created.
  • Examples
    • db('blog.post').save({hello: 'world'})
    • db('blog.post').save([{hello: 'world'}, {foo: 'bar'}])
    • db('blog.post').save({hello: 'world'}, {foo: 'bar'})
• Remove db('blog.post').remove(what, ...)
  • what is the object to be removed.
  • ... true for atomic.
• Find db('blog.users').find(..., function(reply){ })
  • reply is the reply from MongoDB.
  • reply.documents are the documents that you found from MongoDB.
  • ...
    params are filtered by type
    • Objects
      • first object is what you want to find.
      • second object are fields you want
        Ex: { name: 1, age: 1 }
      • third object is any of the following options:
        { lim: x, skip: y, sort:{age: 1} }
    • Numbers
      • first number is the limit (return all if not specified)
      • second number is the skip
  • Examples
    • db('blog.users').find(5, function(reply){ })
      reply.documents is the first 5 documents,
    • db('blog.users').find(5, {age: 23}, function(reply){ })
      with age of 23,
    • db('blog.users').find({age: 27}, 5, {name: 1}, function(reply){ })
      and a name.
    • db('blog.users').find(5, {age: 27}, {name: 1}, {lim: 10}, function(reply){ })
      is the same as the previous example, except the limit is 10 instead of 5.
    • db('blog.users').find(5, function(reply){ }, 2)
      reply.documents skips the first 2 documents and is the next 3 documents.
    • db('blog.users').find(function(reply){ }, {age: 25}, {}, {limit: 5, skip: 2})
      is the same as the previous example except only of doucments with the age of 25.
    • db('blog.users').find({}, {}, {sort: {age: -1}}, function(reply){ })
      reply.documents is sorted by age in a decsending (acsending while it is {age:1} ) order.
• Operations db('blog.$cmd').find(command,1)
  • command is the database operation command you want to perform.
  • Example db('blog.$cmd').find({drop:"users"},1)
    drops the users collection, deleting it.
• Authentication db('blog.$cmd').auth(username,password,callback)
  • username, password
    username and password of the 'blog' database
  • callback
    the callback function when authentication is finished.
  • Example
    • db('blog.$cmd').auth('user','pass',function(reply){})
      
• Open db().open(host,port)
  • Only necessary to call if you explicitly want a different host and port, elsewise it lazy opens.
