Best Available options to use : mongodb with node.js

[Sumit]

Guys

I am trying to use mongodb with node.js , Is there anyone who
experienced with the same ? and suggest node.js based native driver or
whatever ( I have almost no knowledge about mongodb, but yes I
installed node.js on my system and ran/write few small examples).

From Internet sources one options seems to be good is : mongoose
My purpose is to implement Proxy cache via using node.js

Though several coded-modules exist from this link, :
https://github.com/ry/node/wiki/modules still I want to hear your
experience.

I've been working with mongoose for a couple of weeks. It's not bad -
I've only used the most basic features, though, like schema definition
and validation.

I have run into a few puzzling error messages. In particular when you
try to create a model instance that includes a field you didn't define
in the schema for the model. But nothing too hard to puzzle out.

Also, I encountered one bug (which I don't remember), but the
maintainer released a fix within 24 hours.

Hi, you might be interested in joining the mongoose google groups:

We work with the node-mongo-driver.  It works well and was recommended by the 10gen folks.  If you want a more object structured framework then Mongoose seems interesting but document (json format) oriented nosql allows you to use a db differntly and we find less of a need to convert our data into object classes.

Mongoose is a good option if you like it's API and document model; if you want something lower-level and closer to the MongoDB shell / native API, try mongodb-native (https://github.com/christkv/node-mongodb-native).

I have started a project using mongodb, but i see that was a big wrong
choice. I must have to use mongoose from the start, because i was
recreating all common tasks by myself. Change all to mongoose was
more easy than maintains as that was.

mongodb is good, but use only if you need a more low level db usage
or/and less control to the data.

I studied all across the mongoose, and referred many examples around, still I wasn't able to compile or execute any simple example , as per the documentation it , Please see below and provide you comments, It will be great if you can please send me any example

I have tried a lot to compile even one basic example of mongoose but
didn't get any success, --

See below :

Mongoose Version : 1.0.10
node version : v0.3.7


Files : ex5.js and schema.js are in same directory
=======================================

Received Error :

node.js:116
       throw e; // process.nextTick error, or 'error' event on first

 options = options || {};
 var key = options.key || 'title';

 return function slugGenerator(schema){
   schema.path(key).set(function(v){
     this.slug = v.toLowerCase().replace(/[^a-z0-9]/g, '').replace(/-
+/g, '');
     return v;
   });
 };
};

BlogPost.plugin(slugGenerator());

/**
 * Define model.
 */

mongoose.model('BlogPost', BlogPost);
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Is there any one who can please share your experience on this ? I
tried to use several permutation and combination to compile at-least
one scenario but didn't get success.

I'm the author of mongolia, the non-ORM alternative to use the raw mongodb driver.

Mongolia is just a little wrapper around the driver that eases the pain of dealing some operations.

IMHO, having models with data and logic mixed up (the activerecord way) is harder to mantain/test as functions have to deal with side effects. Using mongolia you just define functions and hooks that receive mongodb documents and do something with them.

Let's say, mongoose is OOP oriented, and mongolia is FP oriented... kind of.

The module is well documented, but to be honest.. still missing lots of tests which will come with the 1.0 branch I'm working on. The comunity around mongolia is still non-existant (I'm not a rockstar/guru/ninja/... so when my modules are released nobody notices it) although I hope this will change in the future.

 I dig your stuff man. Keep up the good work.

I used Mongoose before the major update. haven't tried it since. but i
worked fine as long as you stayed within the basics. If you want
something fancy, try the native mongodb driver or mongolia.
