Just hosted my first MongoDB instance in the cloud and called it from a Node program. It is incredible easy and free, go to:
It took be about 2 mins to setup. After setup I ran the following local Node program:
var mongoose = require('mongoose');
var db = mongoose.connect('mongodb://<user>:<password>@ds029257.mongolab.com:29257/mongo1');
Schema = mongoose.Schema;
Beer = new Schema({
brand : String,
rating : Number
});
var BeerModel = mongoose.model('Beer', Beer);
var first = new BeerModel({ brand:'second', rating: 41});
first.save(function(err){
if (err) { console.log(err); }
});
BeerModel.find({ rating: {$gt: 35} },
function(err, beers) {
beers.forEach(function(beer){
console.log(beer);
});
});
Note: Now your homework is to make calls to mongolabs hosted MongoDB from an Node/Express application deployed on Heroku.
