Stream Node

Install

. Install getstream-node via npm install getstream-node for your application
. Copy getstream.js config file from node_modules/getstream-node into the root directory of your application
. Edit getstream.js and set your API keys (https://getstream.io/dashboard)
. Add require('getstream-node'); early on in your application code

If you wish to keep the configuration for the module separate from your application, the module will look for getstream.json in the directory referenced by the environment variable STREAM_NODE_CONFIG_DIR if it's set.

Mongoose integration

Register the models' schemas that you want to store in feeds:

var stream = require('getstream-node');

var tweetSchema = Schema({
  text    : String,
  actor   : { type: Schema.Types.ObjectId, ref: 'User' },
  bg      : String,
  link    : { type: Schema.Types.ObjectId, ref: 'Link' }
});

stream.mongoose.activitySchema(tweetSchema);

Make sure you register your mongoose connection or things won't work!

stream_node.mongoose.setupMongoose(mongoose);

Store extra information in feeds:

tweetSchema.methods.activityExtraData = function() {
  return {'bg': this.bg, 'link': this.link};
}

Automatically populate paths:

tweetSchema.statics.pathsToPopulate = function() {
  return ['actor', 'link'];
};

Use custom attribute for the actor field:

tweetSchema.methods.activityActorProp = function() {
  return 'actor';
}
