This project explains how to build a REST API in a Cloudflare worker using MongoDB Realm Web SDK and a MongoDB Atlas cluster to store the data.
- The MongoDB Atlas cluster stores the data in the
cloudflare.todos
collection. - A MongoDB Atlas App Services App manages the authentication and the collection access rules.
- A Cloudflare worker uses the Realm Web SDK to authenticate and retrieve the data that is then exposed with a REST API.
- MongoDB Cloud account.
- MongoDB Atlas Cluster (M0 is fine).
- MongoDB Atlas App Services Application created & deployed.
- with Authentication API Keys turned on + an API key created.
- with a rule on the collection
cloudflare.todos
with a role "owner" with read and write access on all the fields, applied when{"owner": "%%user.id"}
.
- Cloudflare account (free plan is fine) with a
*.workers.dev
subdomain.
To deploy & test the API we need:
- The Atlas App Services Application ID (top left corner).
- The App authentication API key (in Authentication tab > API Keys).
- The Cloudflare account login/password.
- The Cloudflare account ID (in Workers tab > Overview).
- The Cloudflare
*.workers.dev
subdomain (in Workers tab > Overview).
Clone this repository
git clone git@github.com:mongodb-developer/cloudflare-worker-rest-api-atlas.git
cd cloudflare-worker-rest-api-atlas
Edit the file wrangler.toml
- replace
CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID
by your real Cloudflare account ID. - replace
MONGODB_REALM_APPID
by your real MongoDB Atlas App Services App ID.
If you want to use the bash files to test the REST API, edit the file api_tests/variables.sh
:
- replace
YOUR_SUBDOMAIN
so the final worker URL matches yours. - replace
YOUR_REALM_AUTH_API_KEY
with your App auth API key.
Run the following commands:
$ npm i wrangler -g
$ wrangler login
$ wrangler deploy
$ cd api_tests
$ ./post.sh "Write a good README.md for Github"
$ ./post.sh "Commit and push"
$ ./findAll.sh
$ ./findOne.sh <OBJECT_ID> # replace with an _id from the previous command
$ ./patch.sh <OBJECT_ID> true
$ ./findAll.sh # note that done=true now on your todo
$ ./deleteOne.sh <OBJECT_ID>
$ ./findAll.sh # only one left
You can also navigate to your MongoDB Atlas Cluster and browse your collection cloudflare.todos
to confirm the above tests.
