Express Server for MongoDB and Ember JS

This server sits between MongoDB and a basic EmberJS App

Prerequisites

You will need the following things properly installed on your computer.

• Node.js (with NPM)
• MongoDB

Setting up MongoDB

Download and install MongoDB (Link above)

In one terminal do:

"C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.4\bin\mongod.exe" --config "C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.4\mongod.cfg" --install

Creates a mongod.cfg file inside "C:\Programme Files\MongoDB\Server\3.4\" if the following is not inside add it in.

systemLog:
    destination: file
    path: C:\data\log\mongod.log
storage:
    dbPath: C:\data\db

You'll then need to add the folders above.

mkdir C:\data\log\ & mkdir C:\data\db

net start mongoDB to start the service.

In another terminal do:

"C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.4\bin\mongo.exe"

use emberData creates and switches to a new database called emberData (call this what you like but remember to change the endpoint in server.js)

add C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.4\bin to windows PATH for future use of mongo and mongod.

Issues

If you have issues with mongod try manually shutting down mongo use admin and db.shutdownServer() Then mongod --dbpath /data/db --repair should refresh the lock file

Dependancies

npm install to pull in Mongoose and Express

Start her up

Fire up node server from a terminal.

Test

curl http://localhost:4500/test/ should return "working"

To Do

• Add test for MongoDB connection
• Add other database drivers
