catbox-mongodb

MongoDB adapter for catbox

Note: the module has been deprecated and archived due to low usage. The last publish version is known it work well but that may change in the future as breaking changes of catbox are introduced. If you rely on this module, consider forking it and creating your own alternative (it is very little code). You can also ask to take over and the module will be moved to your personal account to maintain.

catbox-mongodb serializes values to BSON using MongoDB driver, therefore following data types are supported for this adapter: Object, Array, Number, String, Date, RegExp.

Installation

The lastest catbox-mongodb version 4.x works only with hapi v17 and v18

Install catbox-mongodb via NPM. Remember that catbox-mongodb requires its parent module catbox:

npm install catbox catbox-mongodb

Do you use hapi v16 or lower? Install catbox-mongodb version 3.x with a compatible version of catbox:

# for hapi v16 (or lower)
npm install catbox@9 catbox-mongodb@3

Options

catbox-mongodb accepts the following options:

  • uri - the MongoDB URI, defaults to 'mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/?maxPoolSize=5'
  • partition - the MongoDB database for cached items

Usage

Sample catbox cache initialization :

const Catbox = require('catbox');

const cache = new Catbox.Client(require('catbox-mongodb'), {
    uri: 'your-mongodb-uri', // Defaults to 'mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/?maxPoolSize=5'
    partition: 'cache-users'
})

Or configure your hapi server to use catbox-mongodb as the caching strategy (code snippet uses hapi v17):

const Hapi = require('hapi')

const server = new Hapi.Server({
    cache : [{
        name: 'mongodb-cache',
        engine: require('catbox-mongodb'),
        uri: 'your-mongodb-uri', // Defaults to 'mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/?maxPoolSize=5'
        partition: 'cache-posts'
    }]
});

For hapi v18 you need a slightly different config:

const Hapi = require('hapi')
 
const server = new Hapi.Server({
    cache : [{
        name: 'mongodb-cache',
        provider: {
          constructor: require('catbox-mongodb'),
          options: {
            uri       : 'your-mongodb-uri', // Defaults to 'mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/?maxPoolSize=5'
            partition : 'cache'
          }
        }
    }]
});
