Data modeling library using JoiQL and Mongo
npm install joiql-mongoGraphQL and MongoDB modeling library using JoiQL.
```javascript
const { connect, model, models, string, date } = require('joiql-mongo')
connect('mongodb://localhost:27017/gluu')
const user = model('user', {
name: string()
.meta((is) => ({
create: is.required()
})),
email: string().email()
})
const tweet = model('tweet', {
body: string()
.meta((is) => ({
'create update': is.required().max(150)
}))
createdAt: date()
.meta((is) => ({
'create read update delete list': is.forbidden().default(new Date())
}))
})
tweet.on('create', (ctx, next) => {
next().then(() =>
console.log('Congrats on the tweet', ctx.res.createTweet.body)
)
})
const api = models(tweet, user)
graphql(api.schema, ...)
``
Connects to a MongoDB database and returns a promised-mongojs instance.
``javascript``
const { connect } = require('joiq-mongo')
const db = connect('mongodb://localhost:27017/mydb')
Create an instance of a model that can be automatically converted into GraphQL schemas for CRUDL operations. Pass in the model name and an object of Joi types.
``javascript``
const { model, string, array, objectid } = require('joiq-mongo')
const user = model('user', {
name: string(),
email: string().email(),
friends: array().items(objectid())
})
As you can see above, JoiQL Mongo exports Joi types for your convenience. There is even a custom objectid type that validates and typecasts strings to ObjectId instances.
Hook into CRUDL operations of a model through JoiQL middleware. JoiQL Mongo will automatically add persistence middleware (e.g. db.save or db.find operations) to the bottom of the stack. This way you can hook into before and after persistence operations by running code before or after control flows upstream using await next().
_For those faimiliar with Rails, you can think of these as the equivalent of ActiveRecord callbacks._
``javascript``
user.on('update', async (ctx, next) => {
await next()
if (ctx.res.updateUser.password) sendConfirmationEmail()
})
JoiQL Mongo allows for conditional validation via a DSL leveraging the meta API in Joi. Pass a function that returns an object describing the conditional validation.
See below how we use the key 'create update' to specify that a user's name is required with a minimum of 2 characters when running a createUser or updateUser GraphQL operation. The keys of this object can be any combination of create read update delete list joined by spaces, and the values extend the attribute passed in as the first argument to the function.
``javascript``
model('user', {
name: string().meta((is) => ({
'create update': is.required().min(2)
}))
})
Convenience method for running a "create" operation that leverages validation and middleware.
``javascript``
user.create({ name: 'Foo' })
.catch(() => console.log('validation failed'))
.then(() => console.log('successfully created user'))
Convenience method for running a "read" operation that leverages validation and middleware.
``javascript``
user.find({ name: 'Foo' })
.catch(() => console.log('validation failed'))
.then(() => console.log('successfully created user'))
Convenience method for running an "update" operation that leverages validation and middleware.
``javascript``
user.update({ _id: "543d3fb87261692e99a80500", name: 'Foo' })
.catch(() => console.log('validation failed'))
.then(() => console.log('successfully created user'))
Convenience method for running a "delete" operation that leverages validation and middleware.
``javascript``
user.destroy({ _id: "543d3fb87261692e99a80500", name: 'Foo' })
.catch(() => console.log('validation failed'))
.then(() => console.log('successfully created user'))
Convenience method for running a "list" operation that leverages validation and middleware.
``javascript``
user.where({ name: 'Foo' })
.catch(() => console.log('validation failed'))
.then(() => console.log('successfully created user'))
Convenience utility for adding add-hoc GraphQL queries.
``javascript``
const { query, string, array } = require('joiql-mongo')
query('tags', array().items(string()), async (ctx, next) => {
ctx.res.tags = await Tags.find()
})
Convenience utility for adding add-hoc GraphQL mutations.
``javascript``
const { mutation, string, array } = require('joiql-mongo')
mutation('emailBlast', string().meta({ args: {
emails: array().items(string().email())
} }), async (ctx, next) => {
await sendEmail()
ctx.res.emailBlast = 'success'
next()
})
Combine a set of models into a JoiQL instance that exposes a GraphQL.js schema object.
``javascript``
const { models } = require('joiql-mongo')
//...
const api = models(tweet, user)
app.use('/graphql', graphqlHTTP({ schema: api.schema }))
Convenience utility for converting a hash of model objects into mountable Koa middleware
``javascript
const { graphqlize } = require('joiql-mongo')
const models = require('./models')
const mount = require('koa-mount')
const app = new Koa()
app.use(mount('/graphql', graphqlize(models))))
