herbs2mongo

herbs2mongo creates repositories to retrieve and store Entities using MongoDB.

Installing

    $ npm install @herbsjs/herbs2mongo

Using

connection.js - MongoDB initialization:

const {MongoClient,Logger} = require('mongodb')
const config = require('./config')

let dbInstance = null

module.exports = async () => {
  if (dbInstance) {
      return new Promise((resolve) => resolve(dbInstance))
  }
  const client = await new MongoClient(config.connectionString).connect()
  dbInstance = client.db(config.databaseName)
  Logger.setLevel("debug") // set this if you want to debug all queries
  return dbInstance
}

itemRepository.js:

const { Repository } = require('@herbsjs/herbs2mongo')
const connection = require('connection')
const { Item } = require('../domain/entities/item')
const database = 'herbs2mongo_testdb'

class ItemRepository extends Repository {
    constructor() {
        super({
            entity: Item,
            collection: 'aCollection',
            database,
            ids: ['id'],
            mongodb: connection
        })
    }

    excludedItemFromLastWeek() {
        ...
    }
}

someUsecase.js:

const repo = new ItemRepository()
const ret = await repo.findByID('60edc25fc39277307ca9a7ff') // note that the id is equivalent to ObjectId _id field

What is a Repository?

A repository, by definition, is part of the layer to retrieve and store entities abstracting the underlying implementation. By using repositories, details of these implementation such as relational database, document-oriented databases, etc, should not leak to the domain code. In other words, no raw SQL queries on your use case or entity files.

herbs2Mongo Repository

In order to boost productivity herbs2Mongo provides way to dynamically generate a repository class based on your Entities and other metadata.

These metadata are necessary to close the gap between OOP concepts and paradigms and those of relational databases. For example, it is necessary to specify primary keys and foreign keys as these information do not exist in the description of your domain.

Following Herbs architecture principals it is not the intention of this lib to create yet another ODM or query builder but to create a bridge between your domain and an existing one (from Mongo).

Why Mongo oficial Driver?

herbs2Mongo is just one of many bridges possible between Herbs and other packages.

The advantage of using Mongo is that is a simple and flexible way to retrieve data from MongoDB, as a plus we're using the oficial driver from MongoDB here.

Repository setup

const { Repository } = require('@herbsjs/herbs2mongo')
const connection = require('connection')  // Mongo initialize instance
const { ProductItem } = require('../domain/entities/productItem')
const database = 'herbs2mongo_testdb'

class YourRepository extends Repository {
    constructor() {
        super({
            entity: ProductItem,
            collection: 'product_items',
            database,
            ids: ['id'],
            mongodb: connection
        })
    }
}

entity - The Entity to be used as reference
```
entity: ProductItem
```
collection - The name of the collection in database
```
collection: 'product_items'
```
database - The name of the database
```
database: 'herbs2mongo_testdb'
```
ids - Primary keys

Format: ['fieldName', 'fieldName', ...]

There must be corresponding fields in the entity.
```
ids: ['id']  // productItem.id
```
or for composite primary key:
```
ids: [`customerId`, `productId`]  // productItem.customerId , productItem.productId
```
mongoDB - mongoDB driver initialize instance

Check mongoDB documentation

Retrieving and Persisting Data

`find`

Find entities

Format: .find(options) where options is a optional object containing { limit, skip, orderBy, filter }

Return: Entity array

const repo = new ItemRepository(injection)
const ret = await repo.find()

Options:

limit Adds a limit clause to the query.

const repo = new ItemRepository(injection)
const ret = await repo.find({ limit: 10 })

skip Adds an skip clause to the query.

const repo = new ItemRepository(injection)
const ret = await repo.find({ offset: 5 })

orderBy Adds an order by clause to the query. Column can be string, or list mixed with string and object.

// order by collum
const repo = new ItemRepository(injection)
const ret = await repo.find({ orderBy: 'description'})

filter Adds a filter to the query with given values.

const repo = new ItemRepository(injection)
const ret = await repo.find({ filter: { stringTest: ["aString"] } })

find with native parameters You also can use the method find to use the mongoDB native parameters

const { ObjectId } = require('mongodb')

const repo = new ItemRepository(injection)
const ret = await repo.find({ _id : { $in : [ObjectId('4323fefwed4234'), ObjectId('3432d23232dfff')] } } )

const { ObjectId } = require('mongodb')

const repo = new ItemRepository(injection)
const ret = await repo.find({ _id : { $in : [ObjectId('4323fefwed4234'), ObjectId('3432d23232dfff')] } } )

findAll You also findAll records using the native find without filters

const repo = new ItemRepository(injection)
const ret = await repo.find({ } )

`findByID`

Find entities by IDs

Format: .findByID(id) where id is a ObjectId string or array, this will be changed to _id automaticaly

Return: Entity array

const repo = new ItemRepository(injection)
const ret = await repo.findByID('60edc25fc39277307ca9a7ff')


 const ids = [
            '60edc25fc39277307ca9a7ff',
            '80edd25fc39272307ca9a712',
          ]

const repo = new ItemRepository(injection)
const ret = await repo.findByID(ids)

`insert`

Insert an Entity into a table.

Format: .insert(entity) where entity is a Entity instance with values to be persisted.

Return: The inserted entity with the values from database.

const repo = new ItemRepository(injection)
const ret = await repo.insert(aNewEntity)

`insertMany`

Insert an array of Entities into a table.

Format: .insertMany([entity]) where [entity] is a array of Entities instances with values to be persisted.

Return: The inserted id's in ObjectId format with the values from database.


const aNewArrayofEntities = [
  givenAnEntity('string one test',false),
  givenAnEntity('string two test',true)
]

const repo = new ItemRepository(injection)
const ret = await repo.insertMany(aNewArrayofEntities)

`update`

Update an Entity.

Format: .update(entity) where entity is a Entity instance with values to be persisted.

Return: The updated entity with the values from database.

const repo = new ItemRepository(injection)
const ret = await repo.update(aModifiedEntity)

`updateMany`

Update a group of Entities.

Format: .updateMany(options) where options is a set of conditionals and new values to set a group of entities

Return: The updated entity with the values from database.

const repo = new ItemRepository(injection)
let filterDefinition = { id: anEntity.id  }
let updateDefinition = { $set: { "stringTest" : "everything works very well" } }
await itemRepo.updateMany({ filter: filterDefinition, update: updateDefinition})

`deleteByID`

Delete an Entity.

Format: .deleteByID(id) where id is a ObjectId string, this will be changed to _id automaticaly.

Return: true for success or false for error

const repo = new ItemRepository(injection)
const ret = await repo.deleteByID(entity)

`deleteMany`

Delete a group of Entities.

Format: .deleteMany(options = { filter}) where options is a set of filters to be deleted.

Return: true for success or false for error


const repo = new ItemRepository(injection)
let filterDefinition = {  numberTest : [aModifiedInstance.numberTest] }
const ret = await repo.deleteMany({ filter: filterDefinition })

`delete`

Delete an Entitie.

Format: .delete(entity) where entity is a Entity instance to be deleted.

Return: true for success or false for error


const repo = new ItemRepository(injection)
const ret = await repo.delete(aModifiedEntity)
