Mongous

Mongous, for humongous, is a dead simple and blazing fast MongoDB driver that uses a jQuery like syntax. Note: Due to a small unfixed bug with the find() funciton, please explicitly call db('').open();

How it works

var db = require(PATH_TO_MONGOUS +'/mongous').Mongous;
db('hello.world').save({foo: 'bar'});

Done. App development has never felt as close to the shell as this! Making it a breeze to grab'n'store anything anywhere in your code without the nasty hassle of connections, collections, and cascading callbacks.

Database & Collections

• db('Database.Collection')
  • Database is the name of your database
  • Collection is the name of your collection
  • Examples
    • db('blog.post')
    • db('blog.post.body')

Commands

• Update db('blog.post').update(find, update, ...)
  • find is the object you want to find.
  • update is what you want to update find with.
  • ...
    • { upsert: true, multi: false }
    • true, true
• Save db('blog.post').save(what)
  • what is the object to be updated or created.
• Insert db('blog.post').insert(what...)
  • what is an object to be created. is an array of objects to be created.
  • Examples
    • db('blog.post').save({hello: 'world'})
    • db('blog.post').save([{hello: 'world'}, {foo: 'bar'}])
    • db('blog.post').save({hello: 'world'}, {foo: 'bar'})
• Remove db('blog.post').remove(what, ...)
  • what is the object to be removed.
  • ... true for atomic.
• Find db('blog.users').find(..., function(reply){ })
  • reply is the reply from MongoDB.
  • reply.documents are the documents that you found from MongoDB.

  • ...

    params are filtered by type - Objects - first object is what you want to find. - second object are fields you want

Ex: { name: 1, age: 1 } - third object is any of the following options:

{ lim: x, skip: y } - Numbers - first number is the limit (return all if not specified) - second number is the skip - Examples - db('blog.users').find(5, function(reply){ })

        reply.documents is the first 5 documents,
    - <code>db('blog.users').find(5, {age: 23}, function(reply){ })</code>


        with age of 23,
    - <code>db('blog.users').find({age: 27}, 5, {name: 1}, function(reply){ })</code>


        and a name.
    - <code>db('blog.users').find(5, {age: 27}, {name: 1}, {lim: 10}, function(reply){ })</code>


        is the same as the previous example, except the limit is 10 instead of 5.
    - <code>db('blog.users').find(5, function(reply){ }, 2)</code>


        reply.documents skips the first 2 documents and is the next 3 documents.
    - <code>db('blog.users').find(function(reply){ }, {age: 25}, {}, {limit: 5, skip: 2})</code>


        is the same as the previous example except only of doucments with the age of 25.
