MongoDB connector for loopback-datasource-juggler.

Please see the full documentation at docs.strongloop.com.

Customizing MongoDB configuration for tests/examples

By default, examples and tests from this module assume there is a MongoDB server instance running on localhost at port 27017.

To customize the settings, you can drop in a .loopbackrc file to the root directory of the project or the home folder.

Note: Tests and examples in this project configure the data source using the deprecated '.loopbackrc' file method, which is not suppored in general. For information on configuring the connector in a LoopBack application, please refer to LoopBack documentation.

The .loopbackrc file is in JSON format, for example:

{
    "dev": {
        "mongodb": {
            "host": "127.0.0.1",
            "database": "test",
            "username": "youruser",
            "password": "yourpass",
            "port": 27017
        }
    },
    "test": {
        "mongodb": {
            "host": "127.0.0.1",
            "database": "test",
            "username": "youruser",
            "password": "yourpass",
            "port": 27017
        }
    }
}

Note: username/password is only required if the MongoDB server has authentication enabled.

Running tests

The tests in this repository are mainly integration tests, meaning you will need to run them using our preconfigured test server.

  1. Ask a core developer for instructions on how to set up test server credentials on your machine
  2. npm test
