# Using yarn
yarn add @push.rocks/smartdata

🚦 Requirements

Node.js >= 16.x
MongoDB >= 4.4
TypeScript >= 4.x (for development)

🎯 Quick Start

1️⃣ Connect to Your Database

import { SmartdataDb } from '@push.rocks/smartdata';

// Create a database instance with smart defaults
const db = new SmartdataDb({
  mongoDbUrl: 'mongodb://localhost:27017/myapp',
  mongoDbName: 'myapp',
  mongoDbUser: 'username',
  mongoDbPass: 'password',
  
  // Optional: Configure connection pooling (new!)
  maxPoolSize: 100,          // Max connections in pool (default: 100)
  maxIdleTimeMS: 300000,     // Max idle time (default: 5 minutes)
  serverSelectionTimeoutMS: 30000  // Connection timeout (default: 30s)
});

// Initialize with automatic retry and connection pooling
await db.init();

2️⃣ Define Your Data Models

import {
  SmartDataDbDoc,
  Collection,
  unI,
  svDb,
  index,
  searchable,
} from '@push.rocks/smartdata';
import { ObjectId } from 'mongodb';

@Collection(() => db)
class User extends SmartDataDbDoc<User, User> {
  @unI()
  public id: string = 'unique-user-id';  // Unique index
  
  @svDb()
  @searchable()  // Enable full-text search
  public username: string;
  
  @svDb()
  @searchable()
  @index({ unique: false })  // Regular index for performance
  public email: string;
  
  @svDb()
  public organizationId: ObjectId;  // Automatically handled as BSON ObjectId
  
  @svDb()
  public profilePicture: Buffer;    // Automatically handled as BSON Binary
  
  @svDb({
    // Custom serialization for complex objects
    serialize: (data) => JSON.stringify(data),
    deserialize: (data) => JSON.parse(data),
  })
  public preferences: Record<string, any>;
  
  @svDb()
  public createdAt: Date = new Date();
  
  constructor(username: string, email: string) {
    super();
    this.username = username;
    this.email = email;
  }
}

3️⃣ Perform CRUD Operations

// ✨ Create
const user = new User('johndoe', 'john@example.com');
await user.save();

// 🔍 Read
const foundUser = await User.getInstance({ username: 'johndoe' });
const allUsers = await User.getInstances({ email: 'john@example.com' });

// ✏️ Update
foundUser.email = 'newemail@example.com';
await foundUser.save();

// 🔄 Upsert (update or insert)
// Note: Upsert is handled automatically by save() - if document exists it updates, otherwise inserts
await foundUser.save();

// 🗑️ Delete
await foundUser.delete();

🔥 Advanced Features

🔎 Powerful Search Engine

SmartData includes a Lucene-style search engine with automatic field indexing:

@Collection(() => db)
class Product extends SmartDataDbDoc<Product, Product> {
  @unI() public id: string;
  @svDb() @searchable() public name: string;
  @svDb() @searchable() public description: string;
  @svDb() @searchable() public category: string;
  @svDb() public price: number;
}

// 🎯 Exact phrase search
await Product.search('"MacBook Pro 16"');

// 🔤 Wildcard search
await Product.search('Mac*');

// 📁 Field-specific search
await Product.search('category:Electronics');

// 🧮 Boolean operators
await Product.search('(laptop OR desktop) AND NOT gaming');

// 🔐 Secure multi-field search
await Product.search('TypeScript MongoDB'); // Automatically escaped

// 🏷️ Scoped search with filters
await Product.search('laptop', {
  filter: { price: { $lt: 2000 } },
  validate: (p) => p.inStock === true
});

💾 EasyStore - Type-Safe Key-Value Storage

Perfect for configuration, caching, and shared state:

interface AppConfig {
  apiKey: string;
  features: {
    darkMode: boolean;
    notifications: boolean;
  };
  limits: {
    maxUsers: number;
    maxStorage: number;
  };
}

// Create a type-safe store
const config = await db.createEasyStore<AppConfig>('app-config');

// Write with full IntelliSense
await config.writeKey('features', {
  darkMode: true,
  notifications: false
});

// Read with guaranteed types
const features = await config.readKey('features');
// TypeScript knows: features.darkMode is boolean

// Atomic operations
await config.writeAll({
  apiKey: 'new-key',
  limits: { maxUsers: 1000, maxStorage: 5000 }
});

// Delete a key
await config.deleteKey('features');

// Wipe entire store
await config.wipe();

🌐 Distributed Coordination

Build resilient distributed systems with automatic leader election:

const coordinator = new SmartdataDistributedCoordinator(db);

// Start coordination with automatic heartbeat
await coordinator.start();

// Check if this instance is the leader
const eligibleLeader = await coordinator.getEligibleLeader();
const isLeader = eligibleLeader?.id === coordinator.id;

if (isLeader) {
  console.log('🎖️ This instance is now the leader!');
  // Leader-specific tasks are handled internally by leadFunction()
  // The coordinator automatically manages leader election and failover
}

// Fire distributed task requests (for taskbuffer integration)
const result = await coordinator.fireDistributedTaskRequest({
  taskName: 'maintenance',
  taskExecutionTime: Date.now(),
  requestResponseId: 'unique-id'
});

// Graceful shutdown
await coordinator.stop();

📡 Real-Time Change Streams

React to database changes instantly with RxJS integration:

// Watch for specific changes
const watcher = await User.watch(
  { active: true },  // Only watch active users
  {
    fullDocument: 'updateLookup',  // Include full document
    bufferTimeMs: 100,  // Buffer for performance
  }
);

// Subscribe with RxJS (emits documents or arrays if buffered)
watcher.changeSubject
  .pipe(
    filter(user => user !== null),  // Filter out deletions
  )
  .subscribe(user => {
    console.log(`📢 User change detected: ${user.username}`);
    sendNotification(user.email);
  });

// Or use EventEmitter pattern
watcher.on('change', (user) => {
  if (user) {
    console.log(`✏️ User changed: ${user.username}`);
  } else {
    console.log(`👋 User deleted`);
  }
});

// Clean up when done
await watcher.stop();

🎯 Cursor Operations for Large Datasets

Handle millions of documents efficiently:

// Create a cursor with modifiers
const cursor = await User.getCursor(
  { active: true },
  { 
    modifier: (cursor) => cursor
      .sort({ createdAt: -1 })
      .skip(100)
      .limit(50)
  }
);

// Stream processing - memory efficient
await cursor.forEach(async (user) => {
  await processUser(user);
  // Processes one at a time, minimal memory usage
});

// Manual iteration
let user;
while (user = await cursor.next()) {
  if (shouldStop(user)) {
    break;
  }
  await handleUser(user);
}

// Convert to array (only for small datasets!)
const users = await cursor.toArray();

// Always clean up
await cursor.close();

🔐 Transaction Support

Ensure data consistency with MongoDB transactions:

const session = db.startSession();

try {
  await session.withTransaction(async () => {
    // All operations in this block are atomic
    const sender = await User.getInstance(
      { id: 'user-1' }, 
      session  // Pass session to all operations
    );
    sender.balance -= 100;
    await sender.save({ session });
    
    const receiver = await User.getInstance(
      { id: 'user-2' }, 
      session
    );
    receiver.balance += 100;
    await receiver.save({ session });
    
    // If anything fails, everything rolls back
    if (sender.balance < 0) {
      throw new Error('Insufficient funds!');
    }
  });
  
  console.log('✅ Transaction completed successfully');
} catch (error) {
  console.error('❌ Transaction failed, rolled back');
} finally {
  await session.endSession();
}

🎨 Custom Serialization

Handle complex data types with custom serializers:

class Document extends SmartDataDbDoc<Document, Document> {
  @svDb({
    // Encrypt sensitive data before storing
    serialize: async (value) => {
      return await encrypt(value);
    },
    // Decrypt when reading
    deserialize: async (value) => {
      return await decrypt(value);
    }
  })
  public sensitiveData: string;
  
  @svDb({
    // Compress large JSON objects
    serialize: (value) => compress(JSON.stringify(value)),
    deserialize: (value) => JSON.parse(decompress(value))
  })
  public largePayload: any;
  
  @svDb({
    // Store sets as arrays
    serialize: (set) => Array.from(set),
    deserialize: (arr) => new Set(arr)
  })
  public tags: Set<string>;
}

🎣 Lifecycle Hooks

Add custom logic at any point in the document lifecycle:

@Collection(() => db)
class Order extends SmartDataDbDoc<Order, Order> {
  @unI() public id: string;
  @svDb() public items: OrderItem[];
  @svDb() public total: number;
  @svDb() public status: 'pending' | 'paid' | 'shipped';
  
  // Validate and calculate before saving
  async beforeSave() {
    this.total = this.items.reduce((sum, item) => 
      sum + (item.price * item.quantity), 0
    );
    
    if (this.items.length === 0) {
      throw new Error('Order must have items!');
    }
  }
  
  // Send notifications after saving
  async afterSave() {
    if (this.status === 'paid') {
      await sendOrderConfirmation(this);
      await notifyWarehouse(this);
    }
  }
  
  // Prevent deletion of shipped orders
  async beforeDelete() {
    if (this.status === 'shipped') {
      throw new Error('Cannot delete shipped orders!');
    }
  }
  
  // Audit logging
  async afterDelete() {
    await auditLog.record({
      action: 'order_deleted',
      orderId: this.id,
      timestamp: new Date()
    });
  }
}

🔍 Deep Query Type Safety

TypeScript knows your nested object structure:

interface UserProfile {
  personal: {
    name: {
      first: string;
      last: string;
    };
    age: number;
  };
  address: {
    street: string;
    city: string;
    country: string;
  };
}

@Collection(() => db)
class Profile extends SmartDataDbDoc<Profile, Profile> {
  @unI() public id: string;
  @svDb() public data: UserProfile;
}

// TypeScript enforces correct paths and types!
const profiles = await Profile.getInstances({
  'data.personal.name.first': 'John',  // ✅ Type-checked
  'data.address.country': 'USA',       // ✅ Type-checked
  'data.personal.age': { $gte: 18 },   // ✅ Type-checked
  // 'data.invalid.path': 'value'      // ❌ TypeScript error!
});

🛡️ Security Features

SmartData includes enterprise-grade security out of the box:

🔐 Credential Security: Automatic encoding of special characters in passwords
💉 Injection Prevention: NoSQL injection protection with query sanitization
🚫 Dangerous Operator Blocking: Prevents use of $where and other risky operators
🔒 Secure Defaults: Production-ready connection settings out of the box
🛑 Rate Limiting Ready: Built-in connection pooling prevents connection exhaustion

🎯 Best Practices

Connection Management

// ✅ DO: Use connection pooling options
const db = new SmartdataDb({
  mongoDbUrl: 'mongodb://localhost:27017/myapp',
  maxPoolSize: 50,  // Adjust based on your load
  maxIdleTimeMS: 300000  // 5 minutes
});

// ✅ DO: Always close connections on shutdown
process.on('SIGTERM', async () => {
  await db.close();
  process.exit(0);
});

// ❌ DON'T: Create multiple DB instances for the same database

Performance Optimization

// ✅ DO: Use cursors for large datasets
const cursor = await LargeCollection.getCursor({});
await cursor.forEach(async (doc) => {
  await processDocument(doc);
});

// ❌ DON'T: Load everything into memory
const allDocs = await LargeCollection.getInstances({}); // Could OOM!

// ✅ DO: Create indexes for frequent queries
@index() public frequentlyQueried: string;

// ✅ DO: Use projections when you don't need all fields
const cursor = await User.getCursor(
  { active: true },
  { projection: { username: 1, email: 1 } }
);

Type Safety

// ✅ DO: Leverage TypeScript's type system
interface StrictUserData {
  verified: boolean;
  roles: ('admin' | 'user' | 'guest')[];
}

@Collection(() => db)
class StrictUser extends SmartDataDbDoc<StrictUser, StrictUser> {
  @svDb() public data: StrictUserData;  // Fully typed!
}

// ✅ DO: Use DeepQuery for nested queries
import { DeepQuery } from '@push.rocks/smartdata';

const query: DeepQuery<StrictUser> = {
  'data.verified': true,
  'data.roles': { $in: ['admin'] }
};
