Gun-Mongo

A MongoDB adapter for GunJS.

Some Considerations

gun-mongo stores the each graph node (along with some metadata) in a document and uses the key as the Mongo '_id'. This makes gun-mongo right for some application but not all.

If the following are true, then gun-mongo could be right for you:

1. No single node is huge (e.g., a users node with millions of children would be problematic). Most nodes are small to medium. Fair warning: If a node grows too large, it could overwhelm memory and cause crashes.
2. Nodes are created more than updated.

Contrast this with gun-mongo-key. Whereas gun-mongo-key has the advantage for updates and enabling streaming of large nodes, gun-mongo makes Node creation much more efficient.

Installation

yarn add gun-mongo or npm install gun-mongo.

 
const Gun = require('gun');
 
// Must be added after Gun but before instantiating Gun
require('gun-mongo');
 
// Instantiate Gun
const gun = new Gun({
    file: false,
    web: httpServer,
 
    // The following are defaults. You can supply `true` to use all defaults, or overwrite the ones you choose
    mongo: {
        host: 'localhost',
        port: '27017',
        database: 'gun',
        collection: 'gun-mongo',
        query: ''
    }
});
