Best way to add mongodb?

[vadimsg]

Hello there,

What would be the best way to add mongodb to this starter-kit? SQL will not do for my project.
Was looking in issues and was surprised no one was asking before it.

Thanks for any information!

@vadimsg The kit is database-agnostic. It is examples of server-side modules, e.g. src/server/modules that use particular database. So add your own server module and use MongoDB, or graph database (this is what several people do), or anything else. Maybe start with porting counter example to MongoDB

@Vlasenko Thanks for the reply! By the way maybe some one has a mini example for mongo server module or directions what is needed to be done, what to connect to include other db support so this kit works with it as good as with out of the box supported db. Looking at those different settings/configs for mysql, pg, sqlite that somehow work together with this kit and different libraries are not helping much at the moment as I'm new in so advanced scenarios and for each db are different approaches/settings how to use it with this kit.

Would appreciate any sort of small list about what/where to connect, what to not forget etc.
Thanks!

When I do some testing of another database in this Kit. I usually create a generic connector inside the folder "/src/server/sql/myCustomConnector.js". After that I only add in the module sql.js the path of this connector and make my calls normally. You do not even need to take the Knex out of the kit.

You can use "/src/server/modules/myModule/sql.js" or modify the sql.js name to "mongodb.js" just for the sake of aesthetics.

@MichelDiz Thanks a lot!

@vadimsg Ware you able to make the MongoDB connection work with this kit?

[vadimsg]

@mitjade yes, thank you guys for tips. Great kit!

@vadimsg Great! Would you be willing to make a PR or your solution?
It does not need to be perfect, we can help out in making it acceptable to be merged in the kit or we can even just leave it in a PR, so someone else having the same problem would find this helpful.

[vadimsg]

@mitjade Ok, I will try to make it when will have free time.

@vadimsg Great! Thank you in advance.

@vadimsg : Could you please post some example on how did you achieve on integrating with mongo?

I had a look at the code (I want to integrate with Mongo as well) and the best place is probably here https://github.com/sysgears/apollo-universal-starter-kit/blob/master/src/server/modules/user/resolvers.js#L12

users: withAuth(['user:view:all'], (obj, { orderBy, filter }, context) => {
  return context.User.getUsers(orderBy, filter); // <---- here you can call Mongo
}),
