Monk

A tiny layer that provides simple yet substantial usability improvements for MongoDB usage within Node.JS.

[![build status](https://secure.travis-ci.org/Automattic/monk.svg?branch=master)](https://secure.travis-ci.org/Automattic/monk) [![codecov](https://codecov.io/gh/Automattic/monk/branch/master/graph/badge.svg)](https://codecov.io/gh/Automattic/monk) [![Join the chat at https://gitter.im/Automattic/monk](https://badges.gitter.im/Automattic/monk.svg)](https://gitter.im/Automattic/monk?utm_source=badge&utm_medium=badge&utm_campaign=pr-badge&utm_content=badge) *note*: monk 2.x drop the support for node < 0.12. If you are still using an earlier version, stick to monk 1.x ```js const db = require('monk')('localhost/mydb') // or // const db = require('monk')('user:pass@localhost:port/mydb') const users = db.get('users') users.index('name last') users.insert({ name: 'Tobi', bigdata: {} }) users.find({ name: 'Loki' }, '-bigdata').then(function () { // exclude bigdata field }) users.find({}, {sort: {name: 1}}).then(function () { // sorted by name field }) users.remove({ name: 'Loki' }) db.close() ``` ## Features - Well-designed API signatures - Easy connections / configuration - Command buffering. You can start querying right away - Promises built-in for all queries. Easy interoperability with modules - Auto-casting of `_id` in queries - Allows to set global options or collection-level options for queries. (eg: `castIds` is `true` by default for all queries) ## Middlewares Most of the Monk's features are implemented as [middleware](https://automattic.github.io/monk/docs/middlewares.html). There are a bunch of third-parties middlewares that add even more functionalities to Monk: - [monk-middleware-wrap-non-dollar-update](https://github.com/monk-middlewares/monk-middleware-wrap-non-dollar-update) - [monk-middleware-debug](https://github.com/monk-middlewares/monk-middleware-debug) - [monk-middleware-dereference](https://github.com/monk-middlewares/monk-middleware-dereference) *Created an nice middleware?
