monk

Monk is a tiny layer that provides simple yet substantial usability improvements for MongoDB usage within Node.JS.

note: monk 2.x drop the support for node < 0.12. If you are still using an earlier version, stick to monk 1.x

const db = require('monk')('localhost/mydb')
const users = db.get('users')

users.index('name last')
users.insert({ name: 'Tobi', bigdata: {} })
users.find({ name: 'Loki' }, '-bigdata').then(function () {
  // exclude bigdata field
})
users.find({}, {sort: {name: 1}}).then(function () {
  // sorted by name field
})
users.remove({ name: 'Loki' })

db.close()

Features

• Command buffering. You can start querying right away.
• Promises built-in for all queries. Easy interoperability with modules.
• Easy connections / configuration
• Well-designed signatures
• Improvements to the MongoDB APIs (eg: findAndModify supports the update signature style)
• Auto-casting of _id in queries
• Allows to set global options or collection-level options for queries. (eg: safe is true by default for all queries)
