CoffeeScript MongoDB

Mongodb

Problem

You need an interface to connect to a MongoDB database.

Solution

For Node .js

Installation

• If you don't have MongoDB on your computer, you need to install it.

• Install the local MongoDB module.

Save the record

mongo = require 'mongodb'

server = new mongo.Server "127.0.0.1", 27017, {}

client = new mongo.Db 'test', server, {w:1}

# save() updates existing records or inserts new ones as needed
exampleSave = (dbErr, collection) ->
    console.log "Unable to access database: #{dbErr}" if dbErr
    collection.save { _id: "my_favorite_latte", flavor: "honeysuckle" }, (err, docs) ->
        console.log "Unable to save record: #{err}" if err
        client.close()

client.open (err, database) ->
    client.collection 'coffeescript_example', exampleSave

Find the record

mongo = require 'mongodb'

server = new mongo.Server "127.0.0.1", 27017, {}

client = new mongo.Db 'test', server, {w:1}

exampleFind = (dbErr, collection) ->
    console.log "Unable to access database: #{dbErr}" if dbErr
    collection.find({ _id: "my_favorite_latte" }).nextObject (err, result) ->
        if err
            console.log "Unable to find record: #{err}"
        else
            console.log result # => {  id: "my_favorite_latte", flavor: "honeysuckle" }
        client.close()

client.open (err, database) ->
    client.collection 'coffeescript_example', exampleFind

For browsers

A REST-based interface In engineering, AJAX-based access channels are provided.

Discuss

This method separates save and find into separate instances, with the aim of distracting the focus of the connection tasks specified by MongoDB and recycling the tasks. The async module can help with such asynchronous calls.
