node-mongodb-native

The documentation for the node-mongo-native collection.find() function says that it creates a cursor object which lazily returns the matching documents. Furthermore: The basic operation on a cursor is the nextObject method that fetches the next matching document from the database. The convenience methods each and toArray call nextObject until the cursor is exhausted. Unfortunately, the documentation provides no indication of how to tell when the cursor is actually exhausted. You could use the "toArray" method and use the standard array interface (e.g. the "length" method) but this solution is

I can't seem to find any examples of MongoDB error objects in their documentation or on the internet. What does an example MongoDB error object look like? I'd like to "handle" the error and/or reformat it for my own purposes, depending on what the error is. As of MongoDB 2.4.8 with the mongodb 1.3.23 driver, they look like this: { "name":"MongoError", "err":"E11000 duplicate key error index: test.test.$country_1 dup key: { : \"XYZ\" }", "code":11000, "n":0, "connectionId":10706, "ok":1 } MongoError objects With newer versions of the node-mongodb-driver (>= 2) things are a little bit different.

I've been searching a lot for unexpectedly closed connections in mongodb but can only find questions from people who WANT their connections to close. I am using node-mongodb-native to connect to a db, but I keep getting seemingly random "Error: connection closed" messages. If I manually retry the request (browser refresh) the request works. Any idea what is causing this? Is there some simple option that will help? I'm getting my db handle using: MongoClient.connect(connection_string, { auto_reconnect: true }, function (err, db) { //server code/routes in here } I was looking through https:/

I am using node + express to create a simple REST API, and am trying to separate out routing logic from db logic. I am having a problem getting access to the DB from the routes. Here is my server.js code: var express = require('express') , path = require('path') , http = require('http') , mongo = require('mongodb'); // Configure Express app var app = express(); app.configure(function () { app.set('port', process.env.PORT || 3000); app.use(express.logger('dev')); /* 'default', 'short', 'tiny', 'dev' */ app.use(express.bodyParser()), app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'public'))); }); /
