Using BSON or converting it to JSON to use it in AngularJS

[Bhanu Chaudhary]

 Hi ,
I am using angularjs as my frontend and scala based tiny HTTP service DSL while using reactivemongo as my driver to my mongodb . I am very new to nosql and mongodb ,
I just want to know is it possible to use BSON directly in angularjs or any other easy way to covert bson to json .
Thank you in advance

You need to search for Bson<->Json library in Javascript but I don't know if it exists.

What you can do also is to use directly Json from/to Mongo with ReactiveMongo and the BSON/JSON conversion is managed by ReactiveMongo (using Play/Json)

 Hi,
Thanks for the prompt reply anyways can I use the BSON/JSON conversion is managed by ReactiveMongo without using play
Thanks in advance

yes you can but it's not yet out-of-the-box and require a few manual actions (not quite complicated)...

You can use Play/Json outside play because it's an independent library. Have a look at my article there:
http://mandubian.com/2013/02/21/play-json-stand-alone/

You should also be able to depend on Play Plugin (it's a simple JAR) and simply import the packages provided in json.scala & jsoncollection.scala which provide everything you need to use Json directly with ReactiveMongo.

Don't care about controllers...

Thank you very much . Saved me a lot of effort and time which could have gone in vain :-)

Hi,

I am not sure why would you forgo with play.  It is really straight forward using angular + play + reactive mongo.  Only thing we needed to do is to transform the id <-> _id / $oid.  Then just some validators on create and update of mongo docs.

that's the kind of stuff we need to add to play-reactivemongo but it's so trivial that we haven't done it yet :D

Yes its really trivial, I think for me I would be happy enough if its on the sample app.

// json transformers so mongo specific stuff is not given to the front end

val mongoToFE = (

  (__.json.update((__ \ 'id).json.copyFrom((__ \ '_id \ '$oid).json.pick))) andThen

  (__ \ '_id).json.prune andThen

  stripCreatedAndModified

)
