MongoDB Integration

MongoDB is a popular NoSQL database. In Godspeed, you can connect to MongoDB in two ways:

1. Using Mongoose-as-datasource Plugin (Plugin Repository)

2. Using Prisma-as-datastore Plugin (Plugin Repository)

Mongoose as datasource Plugin

This plugin provides seamless integration with MongoDB through the Mongoose library. With this plugin, you can harness the power of Mongoose to model your data, perform queries, and interact with MongoDB in a structured and efficient manner.

How to Use

- Open the godspeed project in vscode and then install the plugin by specifying its name:

  1. Using Godspeed CLI
  godspeed plugin add @godspeedsystems/plugins-mongoose-as-datasource

  1. Using npm
npm i @godspeedsystems/plugins-mongoose-as-datasource

- After installing the plugin using godspeed plugin add command, you will find two auto generated files in your project at src/datasources/types/mongoose.ts and src/datasources/mongoose.yaml

src/datasources/types/mongoose.ts
import { DataSource } from '@godspeedsystems/plugins-mongoose-as-datasource';
export default DataSource;
src/datasources/mongoose.yaml
type: mongoose
successResponseCodes: #default response codes for success responses
create: 201
find: 200
findOne: 200
aggregate: 200
findOneAndUpdate: 201
findOneAndDelete: 202

  • You can keep the file by any name. This file is used to initialize a mongoose datasource instance. Whatever is the name of the file, you will need to invoke the mongoose datasource commands by the same name. Also your models will be needed to be kept in a folder with the same name as your yaml file (i.e. your datasource instance name). For example mongoose1.yaml would mean calling fn:datasources.mongoose1.<Model_Name>.<Function_Name> from yaml workflows and ctx.datasources.mongoose1.<Model_Name>.<Function_Name> from TS/JS files. Also you will need to create a folder datasources/mongoose1/models and keep your models there as detailed below.

  • You can override the default response codes for success cases for different methods by putting them in the datasource instance's yaml file

Setting up Mongoose models

This datasource loads the Mongoose models from datasources/<datasource_name>/models folder.

Alt text

Example Mongoose model file
These files are stored in datasources/<datasource_name>/models folder Your TS or JS file should export as following

module.exports = {
type: 'SomeModel', //The name by which you will access methods of this collection/model
model: SomeModel //The Mongoose Model
};

An example Mongoose model file

SomeModel.ts
const { model, Schema, Document } =require('mongoose');

const SomeModelSchema = new Schema(
{
partnerName: {
type: String,
required: true,
},
productType: {
type: String,
required: true,
},
apiType: {
type: String,
required: true,
},
method: {
type: String,
required: true,
},
api: {
type: String,
required: true,
},
code: String,
headers: Schema.Types.Mixed,
payload: Schema.Types.Mixed,
response: Schema.Types.Mixed,
isDynamicUrl: Boolean,
expectedResponseStatusCode: Number,
},
{ timestamps: true }
);

const SomeModel = model('some-model', SomeModelSchema, 'some-model');
module.exports = {
type: 'SomeModel', //The name by which you will access methods of this collection/model
model: SomeModel
};

Sample workflow

When calling any api function it will be called as ctx.datasources.mongoose.<Model_Name>.<Function_Name> from TS/JS files.

import { GSContext, GSDataSource, GSStatus } from "@godspeedsystems/core";

export default async function (ctx: GSContext) {

const mongoClient: GSDataSource = ctx.datasources.mongoose;
const body =ctx.inputs.data.body ;
const data = {
meta: {
entityType: 'SomeModel',
method: 'create'
},
...body
};
const response = await mongoClient.execute(ctx, data);
return response;
}

Error response

When a call has an error the datasource returns following GSStatus.

    code: 500
success: false
data:
message: Internal Server Error

Set Mongo URL

Set an environment variable MONGO_URL as your connection string.

  export MONGO_URL='mongodb+srv://<user_name>:<password>@cluster0.xyzabc.mongodb.net/?retryWrites=true&w=majority'

Run the service

From your command line run your service in the auto-watch mode

godspeed serve

Prisma as Datastore Plugin

Prisma has experimental support for MongoDB, although this support may not be as mature as for relational databases. Make sure you have access to a MongoDB 4.2+ server with a replica set deployment. As, MongoDB database connector uses transactions to support nested writes, which require a replica set deployment. The easiest way to deploy a replica set is with Atlas.

How to Use

- Open the godspeed project in vscode and then add the plugin from the CLI of vscode, select the 'prisma-as-datastore' to integrate the plugin.

You will find a file in your project related to the Prisma plugin at src/datasources/types/prisma.ts.

prisma.ts
import { DataSource } from '@godspeedsystems/plugins-prisma-as-datastore';
export default DataSource;

Set your connection url in .env file, See example

MONGO_TEST_URL=mongodb+srv://atlas_username:pswd@cluster0.w3bbqrp.mongodb.net/prisma_test?retryWrites=true&w=majority&appName=Cluster0

Create your prisma schema

Now, you can create your prisma schema in src/datasources directory.

Sample prisma schema for mongo db

src/datasources/mongo.prisma
datasource db {
provider = "mongodb"
url = env("MONGO_TEST_URL") //Connection string added in the .env file
}

generator client {
provider = "prisma-client-js"
output = "./prisma-clients/mongo" // mongo is the name of prisma schema file
}

model User {
id String @id @default(auto()) @map("_id") @db.ObjectId
createdAt DateTime @default(now())
email String @unique
name String?
role Role @default(USER)
posts Post[]
}

model Post {
id String @id @default(auto()) @map("_id") @db.ObjectId
createdAt DateTime @default(now())
updatedAt DateTime @updatedAt
published Boolean @default(false)
title String
author User? @relation(fields: [authorId], references: [id])
authorId String @db.ObjectId
}
enum Role {
USER
ADMIN
}

Generate prisma client

This command will generate the prisma client and will sync the database with prisma schema

godspeed prisma prepare

Once you generate prisma client, the multiple clients get generated in src/datasources/prisma-clients directory. Godspeed automatically loads all the clients present in this directory.

Generate CRUD APIs

You can generate the CRUD API'S enter the below command:

godspeed gen-crud-api
  • This command will generate the crud apis based on the sample prisma schema provided at ./src/datasources/mongo.prisma

  • Now you can view the event and workflows according defined prisma schema

Sample API

Here is a sample event and workflow for mongodb, which is fetching data from the database.

src/events/getPost.yaml
http.get./mongo/post/{id}:
summary: Fetch Post
description: Fetch Post from database
fn: com.biz.mongo.post.one
params:
- name: id
in: path
required: true
schema:
type: string
responses:
content:
application/json:
schema:
type: object

import { GSContext, GSStatus, PlainObject } from "@godspeedsystems/core";
import { PrismaClient } from "@prisma/client";

module.exports = async (ctx: GSContext, args: PlainObject) => {
const { inputs: { data: { params } }, logger, datasources } = ctx;

const client: PrismaClient = datasources.mongo.client;

const response = await client.Post.findUnique({
where: { id: params.id }
});
return new GSStatus(true, 200, "Post fetched", response, undefined );
}
