# Project Hints

## Deno Compatibility

### mongodb-memory-server Import
- The package uses a **default import** for `mongodb-memory-server` in `ts/smartmongo.plugins.ts`
- Syntax: `import mongoPlugin from 'mongodb-memory-server';`
- This works in both Node.js and Deno environments
- **Why:** Deno wraps CommonJS exports in a `default` property, so default imports are required
- Fixed in version 2.0.13 (changed from `import * as mongoPlugin`)

## TsmDB - MongoDB Wire Protocol Server

### Architecture
TsmDB implements the MongoDB binary wire protocol (OP_MSG, OP_QUERY) allowing official MongoDB drivers to connect directly.

```
Official MongoClient  →  TCP (wire protocol)  →  TsmdbServer  →  Engines  →  Storage
     (mongodb npm)           OP_MSG/BSON            (port)
```

### Usage Example
```typescript
import { TsmdbServer } from '@push.rocks/smartmongo/tsmdb';
import { MongoClient } from 'mongodb';

// Start server
const server = new TsmdbServer({ port: 27117 });
await server.start();

// Connect with official MongoDB driver
const client = new MongoClient('mongodb://127.0.0.1:27117', {
  directConnection: true
});
await client.connect();

// Use like any MongoDB instance
const db = client.db('mydb');
await db.collection('users').insertOne({ name: 'John' });
const user = await db.collection('users').findOne({ name: 'John' });

// Cleanup
await client.close();
await server.stop();
```

### Supported Commands
- **Handshake**: hello, isMaster
- **CRUD**: find, insert, update, delete, findAndModify, getMore, killCursors
- **Aggregation**: aggregate, count, distinct
