Start and stop a MongoDB server.
npm install mongod



Start and stop a local MongoDB server in Node.js like a boss.
``Bash
npm install mongod
`
The constructor exported by this module optionally accepts a single argument;
a number or string that is a port or an object for configuration.
`JavaScript
const Mongod = require('mongod');
// Simply pass the port that you want a MongoDB server to listen on.
const server = new Mongod(27017);
server.open((err) => {
if (err === null) {
// You may now connect a client to the MongoDB
// server bound to port 27017.
}
});
`
| Property | Type | Default | Description
|:--------------|:--------|:--------|:-----------
| bin | String | mongod | A path to a MongoDB server binary.
| conf | String | | A path to a MongoDB server configuration file.
| dbpath | String | | A path to a to store MongoDB server files.
| storageEngine | String | | A MongoDB storage engine (i.e. wiredTiger).
| nojournal | Boolean | false | A flag to tell MongoDB to disable journaling.
| port | Number | 27017 | A port to bind a MongoDB server to.
A MongoDB server binary must be available. If you do not have one in $PATH,
provide a path in configuration.
`JavaScript
const server = new Mongod({
port: 27017,
bin: '/opt/local/bin/mongod'
});
`
You may use a MongoDB configuration file instead of configuration object
properties that are flags (i.e. dbpath and port). If conf is
provided, no flags will be passed to the binary.
`JavaScript
const server = new Mongod({
conf: '/path/to/mongodb.conf'
});
`
For methods that accept callback, callback will receive an Errornull
as the first argument if a problem is detected; , if not.
#### Mongod#open()

##### Promise style open()
` JavaScript
server.open().then(() => {
// You may now connect to the MongoDB server.
});
`
##### Callback style open()
` JavaScript
server.open((err) => {
if (err === null) {
// You may now connect to the MongoDB server.
}
});
`
#### Mongod#close()
Close the associated MongoDB server. Returns a Promise. NOTE: Disconnect
clients prior to calling this method to avoid receiving connection

##### Promise style close()
` JavaScript
server.close().then(() => {
// The MongoDB server is now closed.
});
`
##### Callback style close()
` JavaScript
server.close((err) => {
// The MongoDB server is now closed.
});
`
#### Mongod#isOpening
Determine if the instance is starting a MongoDB server; true while a

#### Mongod#isRunning
Determine if the instance is running a MongoDB server; true once a process
has spawned and the contained MongoDB server is ready to service requests.
#### Mongod#isClosing
Determine if the instance is closing a MongoDB server; true` while a

#### opening
Emitted when attempting to start a MongoDB server.
#### open
