Add a simple pure mongo wrapper.

[xaiki]

I have mutating documents that I store in classes that inherits, so having to specify a Mongoose model is a bit too much for my needs. hence I've written this simple MongoDB middleware, so that I can do:

var mediabackend = backboneio.createBackend(); mediabackend.use(backboneio.middleware.mongoStore('mediadb', 'medias'));

and have everything automagically sync'd.

Awesome! Couple things:

• let's get rid of the console.log statements
• might want to allow the Server object to be passed in (don't necessarily want to be creating multiple connections to Mongo for each collection/backend)
• get the collection a single time (as opposed to once in each request handler)...might need some sort of promise implementation to do this (sorta like this: https://github.com/scttnlsn/mubsub/blob/master/lib/channel.js)

I'm not sure I can pass server,

Error: A Server or ReplSet instance cannot be shared across multiple Db instances at new Db (/home/xaiki/src/TV/mbc-playout/node_modules/mongodb/lib/mongodb/db.js:72:11) at Object.

My mistake...I meant the Db object.

[xaiki]

ok, implemented.

Looking at this closer I think there are too many cases to handle for it to make sense to include this. What about auth? If the user passes in a connection URL then we need to create the server and db objects ourself. Is the Mongo module installed? etc.

Take a look at https://github.com/kissjs/node-mongoskin or https://github.com/gett/mongojs. Including a middleware for those libs might make a little more sense since they provide a more straightforward API.

Yeah, sorry i forgot no update about this.

It's not really working, as when you do a collection call it stays in the db On Dec 9, 2012 3:03 PM, "Scott Nelson" notifications@github.com wrote:
