Meteor Any-Db [MAINTAINER WANTED]
This package allows you to use Meteor with any database or data source.
Getting Started
Simply add this package to your project:
meteor add ccorcos:any-db
API
This works with any arbitrary collection. Every document needs a unique _id field. We'll demonstrate this with Mongo, but you could easily use ccorcos:neo4j or ccorcos:rethink as well.
Subscriptions are limited to only one argument!
Messages = new Mongo.Collection('messages')
# publish an ordered collection
AnyDb.publish 'messages', (roomId) ->
# make sure any async methods are wrapped in a fiber.
# every document needs a unique _id field.
Messages.find({roomId}, {sort: {time: -1}}).fetch()
# subscriptions are limited to only one argument
sub = AnyDb.subscribe 'messages', roomId, (sub) ->
console.log("sub ready", sub.data)
sub.onChange (data) ->
console.log("new sub data", sub.data)
sub.stop()
# publications must be manually refreshed if you want reactive data
Meteor.methods
newMsg: (roomId, text) ->
Messages.insert({roomId, text, time: Date.now()})
# Ramda.js makes these refresh calls really clean
AnyDb.refresh 'messages', R.propEq('roomId', roomId)
