hapi-mongo-models

A hapi plugin for mongo-models.

Install

$ npm install hapi-mongo-models

Server plugin

During plugin registration we connect to MongoDB using the supplied options.

During Hapi's onPreStart server extension point and based on your autoIndex option, we create any indexes defined in the models supplied.

Register

const HapiMongoModels = require('hapi-mongo-models');

const plugin = {
    plugin: HapiMongoModels,
    options: {
        mongodb: {
            connection: {
                uri: 'mongodb://localhost:27017/',
                db: 'hapi-mongo-models-test'
            },
            options: {}
        },
        models: [
            './path/to/customer',
            './path/to/order'
        ],
        autoIndex: false
    }
};

await server.register(plugin);
