run deployd without mongodb (but a jsonfile instead to store data)
$ npm install dpd-filebased-mongodb mongo-mock --save
$ mkdir data
$ export MONGO_DB_FILE=data/mongo.js
$ node app.js
Now make sure you include it before deployd itself in your app.js
:
require('dpd-filebased-mongodb') // <-- magic right there
var deployd = require('deployd')
var dpd = deployd({port:3000});
dpd.listen();
That's it! Now your data is stored in
data/mongodb.js
- Sometimes you want to use deployd for simple api's without the mongodb-requirement.
- Sometimes you want to test deployd with a fake mongodb
- to specify a different dbfile, specify environment variable
MONGO_DB_FILE="data/foo.js"
etc - it doesn't run all mongo-queries, see mongo-mock
- because of this,
hide(field)
doesn't always work (solution: putif( this.password ) delete this.password
into event-code)
