Description

dangoDB is a light-weight MongoDB Object Document Mapper (ODM) library built for the Deno runtime. It provides the core functionality and familiar look and feel of established Node-based libraries. With dangoDB, developers can construct schemas and models, and they can enforce strict type-casting and schema validation to structure their databases. The query functions available from the deno_mongo driver can all be accessed with ease.

In addition, we built a user-friendly web-based GUI that auto-generates schema for users to copy and paste directly into their code.

Getting Started

First, be sure that you have Deno runtime installed and configured.

Quick Start

In your application, import the dangoDB module from the deno.land module.

import { dango } from "https://deno.land/x/dangodb@v1.0.2/mod.ts";

Connect to your Database

Next, open a connection to your MongoDB database using your URI string.

await dango.connect('URI_STRING');

await dango.disconnect();

Define Your Schema

Now, you can define a schema and create a reference to it as illustrated below.

const dinosaurSchema = dango.schema(
  {
    name:                 // A property accepts the below options. Only type is required and must be a valid selection.
      { 
        type: 'string',   // Valid data types listed below.
        required: true,   // A boolean to indicate if the inserted property must have a value specified. Defaults to false.
        unique: true,     // A boolean to indicate if the inserted property much be unique in its value in the collection. Defaults to false.
        default: 'T-Rex', // A value to default to if none specified and required = false. Defaults to null.
        validator: null   // A user provided validation function that must return true with the casted value as input for the data to pass schema validation. Defaults to null.
      },
    age: 'number',        // A property can also accept a schema value with only a type indicated.
  }
);

/**
*  Valid datatypes:
*  - 'number'
*  - 'decimal128'
*  - 'string'
*  - 'boolean'
*  - 'objectid'
*  - 'uuid'
*  - 'date'
*  - userSchema            // User defined schema.
*  - array **              // In progress - Not yet implemented.
*
*/

Create Your Model

Great! Now you have a schema with one property, name, which will be a ‘string.’ The next step is compiling our schema into a Model.

const Dinosaur = dango.model('Dinosaur', dinosaurSchema);

Make a Query

Now, let’s insert a document into the Dinosaur model.

await Dinosaur.insertOne({ name: 'Stegosaurus' });

Now, let’s say you wanted to display all the dinosaurs in our collection. You can access all of the dinosaur documents through our Dinosaur model.

const dinosaurs = await Dinosaur.find({ });
console.log(dinosaurs); 
// [ { name: 'Triceratops', age: 70,000,000 }, { name: 'Brontosaurus', age: 150,000,000 }, { name: 'Stegosaurus', age: null }];

Now you’ve successfully inserted a document into the Dinosaur collection at your MongoDB database.

Congratulations! That’s the end of the quick start. You’ve successfully imported dangoDB, opened up a connection, created a schema, inserted a document for Stegosaurus, and queried all the dinosaurs in your Dinosaur model using dangoDB. Explore the rest of the readme.MD for more detailed instructions on how to use dangoDB.

Schema

When creating a schema, either a type can be assigned to each property in string format, or an object with schema options properties.

Schema Options

type - Number, decimal128, string, boolean, objectid, UUID, date, object. Specified as a lowercase string.
required - Boolean, specifies whether a value is required in an inserted document or replacement document.
unique - Boolean, specifies whether a value is designated as unique for the property.
default - Default value if no value is provided by user. Defaults to null.
validator - User can provide a function test which the values to be inserted/updated need to pass before being inserted. Defaults to null.

To set the type for an embedded object, create a schema for that object, and assign that schema to the property that corresponds with the object.

addressSchema = dango.schema(
  {
    house_number: 'number', 
    unit: 'string', 
    street: 'string', 
    city: 'string'
  }
);

personSchema = dango.schema(
  { 
    name: 'string', 
    address: addressSchema 
  }
);
