The Node wiki lists a few different mongo driverrs for node. What are the pros and cons on each one?
Right now I want to efficiently tail a Mongo capped collection from node, but I suspect I will end up using mongo from node quite heavily and if stackoverflow can save me from having to switch to a different driver later that'd be great.
In general I have no particular interest in object relational mappers; I mainly want to make clean and efficient insert, update and find calls asynchronously.
Connect your Node. js applications to MongoDB and work with your data using the Node. js driver. The driver features an asynchronous API that you can use to access method return values through Promises or specify callbacks to access them when communicating with MongoDB.
On the downside, learning mongoose can take some time, and has some limitations in handling schemas that are quite complex. However, if your collection schema is unpredictable, or you want a Mongo-shell like experience inside Node. js, then go ahead and use the mongodb driver. It is the simplest to pick up.
Node and MongoDB work very-well together, in part because Mongo uses a JavaScript engine built into the database since JavaScript is good at handling JSON objects. Compared to other databases, such as MySQL, MongoDB is fast for storing certain types of data and can be automatically scaled.
To connect a Node. js application to MongoDB, we have to use a library called Mongoose. mongoose. connect("mongodb://localhost:27017/collectionName", { useNewUrlParser: true, useUnifiedTopology: true });
It's hard to say which is the best.
My current favorites from the api-sugar point of view are:
