Mongoose Plugin for Godspeed

It provides seamless integration with MongoDB through the Mongoose library. MongoDB is a popular NoSQL database, and 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 Add

Create a godspeed project from the CLI, open the created project in vscode and then add the plugin:

godspeed plugin add @godspeedsystems/plugins-mongoose-as-datasource 

- You will find two files in your project related to the mongoose plugin at src/datasources/types/mongoose.ts and src/datasources/mongoose.yaml

src/datasources/types/mongoose.ts
import { DataSource } from '@godspeedsystems/plugins-mongoose-as-datastore';
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

Alt text

  • 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

These files are stored in datasources/<datasource_name>/models folder.

Export Syntax :

Your TS or JS file should export as following:

datasources/<datasource_name>/models/SomeModel.ts

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

datasources/<datasource_name>/models/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,
},
api: {
type: String,
},
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.mongoose1.<Model_Name>.<Function_Name> from TS/JS files.

events/createModel.yaml
http.post./some-models:
fn: createUser1
body:
content:
application/json:
schema:
type: object
properties:
partnerName:
type: string
description: Partner Name
productType:
type: string
description: Product Type
apiType:
type: string
description: API Type
responses:
201:
description: SomeModel created successfully
content:
application/json:
schema:
type: object
properties:
someModel:
type: object
description: The created SomeModel object
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

Run the service

  • Set an environment variable MONGO_URL as your connection string to running mongodb instance. For example, setting via a unix shell.

      export MONGO_URL='mongodb+srv://<user_name>:<password>@cluster0.xyzabc.mongodb.net/?retryWrites=true&w=majority'
  • From your command line run your service in the auto-watch mode
