This is an attempt at MongoDB bindings for Node. The important thing here is to ensure that we never let ourselves or any libraries block on IO. As such, I've tried to do my best to make sure that connect() and recv() never block, but there may be bugs. The MongoDB C drivers are used to interface with the database, but some core functions needed to be rewritten to operate in a non-blocking manner.
- Make sure you have git installed.
- ./update-mongo-c-driver.sh
- node-waf configure build
- ./run-tests.sh
This package is EXPERIMENTAL, with emphasis on MENTAL. I am working on this in my spare time to learn the Node, v8 and MongoDB API's.
The error handling in this extension needs to be improved substantially. Be warned.
I would appreciate any and all patches, suggestions and constructive criticisms.
- ryah's Node postgres driver was the foundation for this extension
- MongoDB C drivers
- The people in #node.js and #mongodb on freenode for answering my questions
