npm version

A powerful TypeScript-first MongoDB wrapper that provides advanced features for distributed systems, real-time data synchronization, and easy data management.

Features

  • Type-Safe MongoDB Integration: Full TypeScript support with decorators for schema definition
  • EasyStore: Simple key-value storage with automatic persistence and sharing between instances
  • Distributed Coordination: Built-in support for leader election and distributed task management
  • Real-time Data Sync: Watchers for real-time data changes and synchronization
  • Connection Management: Automatic connection handling with connection pooling
  • Collection Management: Type-safe collection operations with automatic indexing

Requirements

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

Install

To install @push.rocks/smartdata, use npm:

npm install @push.rocks/smartdata --save

This will add @push.rocks/smartdata to your project's dependencies.

Usage

@push.rocks/smartdata enables efficient data handling and operation management with a focus on using MongoDB. It leverages TypeScript for strong typing and ESM syntax for modern JavaScript usage. Below are various scenarios demonstrating how to utilize this package effectively in a project.

Setting Up and Connecting to the Database

Before interacting with the database, you need to set up and establish a connection. The SmartdataDb class handles connection pooling and automatic reconnection.

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

// Create a new instance of SmartdataDb with MongoDB connection details
const db = new SmartdataDb({
  mongoDbUrl: 'mongodb://<USERNAME>:<PASSWORD>@localhost:27017/<DBNAME>',
  mongoDbName: 'your-database-name',
  mongoDbUser: 'your-username',
  mongoDbPass: 'your-password',
});

// Initialize and connect to the database
// This sets up a connection pool with max 100 connections
await db.init();

Defining Data Models

Data models in @push.rocks/smartdata are classes that represent collections and documents in your MongoDB database. Use decorators such as @Collection, @unI, and @svDb to define your data models.

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

@Collection(() => db)  // Associate this model with the database instance
class User extends SmartDataDbDoc<User, User> {
  @unI()
  public id: string = 'unique-user-id'; // Mark 'id' as a unique index
  
  @svDb()
  public username: string;  // Mark 'username' to be saved in DB
  
  @svDb()
  public email: string;  // Mark 'email' to be saved in DB
  
  constructor(username: string, email: string) {
    super();
    this.username = username;
    this.email = email;
  }
}

Performing CRUD Operations

@push.rocks/smartdata simplifies CRUD operations with intuitive methods on model instances.

Create

const newUser = new User('myUsername', 'myEmail@example.com');
await newUser.save();  // Save the new user to the database

Read

// Fetch a single user by a unique attribute
const user = await User.getInstance({ username: 'myUsername' });

// Fetch multiple users that match criteria
const users = await User.getInstances({ email: 'myEmail@example.com' });

Update

// Assuming 'user' is an instance of User
user.email = 'newEmail@example.com';
await user.save();  // Update the user in the database

Delete

// Assuming 'user' is an instance of User
await user.delete();  // Delete the user from the database

Advanced Features

EasyStore

EasyStore provides a simple key-value storage system with automatic persistence:

// Create an EasyStore instance
const store = await db.createEasyStore<YourDataType>('store-name');

// Write and read data
await store.writeKey('key', value);
const value = await store.readKey('key');

Distributed Coordination

Built-in support for distributed systems with leader election:

// Create a distributed coordinator
const coordinator = new SmartdataDistributedCoordinator(db);

// Start coordination
await coordinator.start();

// Handle leadership changes
coordinator.on('leadershipChange', (isLeader) => {
  if (isLeader) {
    // This instance is now the leader
  }
});

Real-time Data Watching

Watch for changes in your collections:

const watcher = new SmartdataDbWatcher(collection);

watcher.on('change', (change) => {
  console.log('Document changed:', change);
});

await watcher.start();

Conclusion

With its focus on TypeScript, modern JavaScript syntax, and leveraging MongoDB's features, @push.rocks/smartdata offers a powerful toolkit for data handling and operations management in Node.js applications. Its design for ease of use, coupled with advanced features, makes it a versatile choice for developers looking to build efficient and scalable data-driven applications.
