In this post I will explain how to use my MongoDB Node Driver module for NestJS 😻.
For those unfamiliar or unfamiliar with NestJS, it is a TypeScript Node.js framework that helps you build efficient and scalable enterprise-grade Node.js applications.
For those who have never used MongoDB Driver is the official package for MongoDB for Nodejs, but you can also use it in other programming languages (see here for more information on the drivers).
So let's get started by creating the NestJS app 😻.
Open terminal and install CLI for NestJS, if you already have it installed, skip this step.
$ npm i -g @nestjs/cli
Then create a NestJS project
$ nest new app
$ cd app
// start the application
$ npm run start:dev
Open the browser on localhost:3000 to verify that hello world is displayed.
then we create a docker-compose.yml file to create the service MongoDB
version: "3"
services:
mongodb:
image: mongo:latest
environment:
- MONGODB_DATABASE="nest"
ports:
- 27017:27017
for those who do not know what docker is I leave the link here for more information Docker.
Well now let's proceed with the package installation.
Install MongoDbDriverModule and MongoDB dependencies
$ npm install --save nest-mongodb-driver mongodb
Set MongoDbDriverModule in AppModule
import { Module } from '@nestjs/common';
import { MongoDbDriverModule } from 'nest-mongodb-driver';
@Module ({
imports: [
MongoDbDriverModule.forRoot({
url: 'mongodb://localhost:27017/nest',
}),
],
})
export class AppModule {}
Now let's create a REST API and call it users. We open the terminal and run the commands to create the module, the service and the controller for the users:
$ nest g mo users # module
$ nest g s users # service
$ nest g co users # controller
UsersModule:
import { Module } from '@nestjs/common';
import { UsersService } from './users.service';
import { UsersController } from './users.controller';
@Module({
controllers: [UsersController],
providers: [UsersService]
})
export class UsersModule {}
Before we start building our API, create the Data Transfer Objects (Dto) class to create the users
import { IsEmail, IsNotEmpty, IsString } from "class-validator";
export class CreateUserDto {
@Notempty()
@IsString()
firstName: string;
@Notempty()
@IsString()
lastName: string;
@Notempty()
@IsString()
@IsEmail()
email: string;
}
Remember to install this package before creating the dto class for the upgrade.
$ npm i @nestjs/mapped-types
Well, now to update the users data we extend the CreateUserDto class:
import { PartialType } from '@nestjs/mapped-types';
import { CreateUserDto } from './create-user.dto';
export class UpdateUserDto extends PartialType(CreateUserDto){}
We then implement ours UserService:
import {
BadRequestException,
HttpException,
HttpStatus,
Injectable,
NotFoundException,
} from '@nestjs/common';
import { InjectClient } from 'nest-mongodb-driver';
import { CreateUserDto } from './dto/create-user.dto';
import { UpdateUserDto } from './dto/update-user.dto';
import { Db, ObjectId } from 'mongodb';
@Injectable()
export class UsersService {
constructor(@InjectClient() private readonly db: Db) {}
async findAll() {
return await this.db.collection('users').find().toArray();
}
async findOne(id: string) {
if (!ObjectId.isValid(id)) {
throw new BadRequestException();
}
const result = await this.db.collection('users').findOne({
_id: new ObjectId(id),
});
if (!result) {
throw new NotFoundException();
}
return result;
}
async create(createUserDto: CreateUserDto) {
try {
return await this.db.collection('users').insertOne(createUserDto);
} catch (err) {
throw new HttpException(err, HttpStatus.BAD_REQUEST);
}
}
async update(id: string, updateUserDto: UpdateUserDto) {
if (!ObjectId.isValid(id)) {
throw new BadRequestException();
}
try {
const result = this.db.collection('users').updateOne(
{
_id: new ObjectId(id),
},
{
$set: {
...updateUserDto,
},
},
);
return result;
} catch (err) {
throw new HttpException(err, HttpStatus.BAD_REQUEST);
}
}
async remove(id: string) {
if (!ObjectId.isValid(id)) {
throw new BadRequestException();
}
const result = await this.db.collection('users').deleteOne({
_id: new ObjectId(id),
});
if (result.deletedCount === 0) {
throw new NotFoundException();
}
}
}
UsersController:
import { Controller, Get, Post, Body, Put, Param, Delete } from '@nestjs/common';
import { UsersService } from './users.service';
import { CreateUserDto } from './dto/create-user.dto';
import { UpdateUserDto } from './dto/update-user.dto';
@Controller('/api/users')
export class UsersController {
constructor(private readonly usersService: UsersService) {}
@Post()
create(@Body() createUserDto: CreateUserDto) {
return this.usersService.create(createUserDto);
}
@Get()
findAll() {
return this.usersService.findAll();
}
@Get(':id')
findOne(@Param('id') id: string) {
return this.usersService.findOne(id);
}
@Put(':id')
update(@Param('id') id: string, @Body() updateUserDto: UpdateUserDto) {
return this.usersService.update(id, updateUserDto);
}
@Delete(':id')
remove(@Param('id') id: string) {
return this.usersService.remove(id);
}
}
well now we should have our API tested if everything works perfectly this commands from curl or whatever you prefer to use.
$ curl -H 'content-type: application/json' -v -X GET http://127.0.0.1:3000/api/users
$ curl -H 'content-type: application/json' -v -X GET http://127.0.0.1:3000/api/users/:id
$ curl -H 'content-type: application/json' -v -X POST -d '{"firstName": "firstName #1", "lastName": "lastName #1", "email": "example@nest.it"}' http://127.0.0.1:3000/api/users
$ curl -H 'content-type: application/json' -v -X PUT -d '{"firstName": "firstName update #1", "lastName": "lastName update #1", "email": "example@nest.it}' http://127.0.0.1:3000/api/users/:id
$ curl -H 'content-type: application/json' -v -X DELETE http://127.0.0.1:3000/api/users/:id

This module is compatible with version 7.x of NestJS 😻.
That's it 😀
Hope it can be useful in your projects.
For anything write me in the comments 😉
