I'm trying to set up mongodb on Windows 8 using node.js, Does anyone know why im getting this error. C:\users\phill\node_modules\mongodb\lib\mongodb\mongo_client.js:359 it also says at collection = db collection,,, can't call method 'collection' of null. I'm having a hard time setting it up. My goal is to be able to add to mongo db, and see that I add or pull up what I added, but adding something is good enough for me for now. I'm trying every thing I can find, even straight from the website, I tried everything I see on here as well. Think it maybe it's the way I have things set up. My node.js is saved in my c: drive there is a file that says, program files(86x) in there I have node_modules, npm and such. The path ends up being, computer > windows (C:) > program files(86x) > nodejs. My Mongodb is saved right on my C: drive the path end up being windows (C:) > mongodb-win32-x86_64-2008plus-2.4.8. In my C: I also created a file data and in it created another db. I have been told i should just use mongoose, I'm just learning so i open to any advice, links or anything that will help. I have one last question as well, i learned php and then found out about sql injections and stuff like that, i am not seeing anything about security at all, should i expect the same as well. For this i get text not defined, but i have been getting errors with everthing i have done, best i did was get stuck on a right concern screen.
var MongoClient = require('mongodb').MongoClient;
MongoClient.connect("mongodb://localhost:27017/integration_test", function(err, db) {
test.equal(null, err);
test.ok(db != null);
db.collection("replicaset_mongo_client_collection").update({a:1},
{b:1}, {upsert:true}, function(err, result) {
test.equal(null, err);
test.equal(1, result);
db.close();
test.done();
});
});
Tried this as well and getting a error,C:\users\phill\node_modules\mongodb\lib\mongodb\mongo_client.js:359.... at collection = db collection,,, can't call method 'collection' of null. im calling it in command prompt node filename.js I'm saving it where my node.js file is, I have pulled up files before and created a server.
var Db = require('mongodb').Db,
MongoClient = require('mongodb').MongoClient,
Server = require('mongodb').Server,
ReplSetServers = require('mongodb').ReplSetServers,
ObjectID = require('mongodb').ObjectID,
Binary = require('mongodb').Binary,
GridStore = require('mongodb').GridStore,
Grid = require('mongodb').Grid,
Code = require('mongodb').Code,
BSON = require('mongodb').pure().BSON,
assert = require('assert');
var db = new Db('test', new Server('localhost', 27017));
// Fetch a collection to insert document into
db.open(function(err, db) {
var collection = db.collection("simple_document_insert_collection_no_safe");
// Insert a single document
collection.insert({hello:'world_no_safe'});
// Wait for a second before finishing up, to ensure we have written the item to disk
setTimeout(function() {
// Fetch the document
collection.findOne({hello:'world_no_safe'}, function(err, item) {
assert.equal(null, err);
assert.equal('world_no_safe', item.hello);
db.close();
})
}, 100);
});
In your first code example, you said:
For this i get text not defined
I assume you meant "test not defined?" Your script only requires the mongodb library, and I don't believe test is a core nodejs function, so that would explain the error.
To reference the driver documentation for db.collection(), an assert library is used, but also properly imported (as you did in your second example).
Within your callback to db.open(), you don't check if an error occurred. That might shed some light on why db is null in that function.
Regarding your question about the equivalent of SQL injection with MongoDB, the main areas of concern are places where you might pass untrusted input into evaluated JavaScript, or using such input to construct free-form query objects (not simply using a string, but more like dropping an object into your BSON query). Both of these links should provide more information on the subject:

Azure is driving me mad again. What I try to achieve is that the data that comes in through an Event Hub needs to be written to the database. What I got working thus far is that the data arrives at the Event Hub and that the Azure function is able to post data to the database. I would prefer to do this with Node.JS as the integration seems kind of nice in Azure. The script I use to send some bogus data to the database is as follows:
module.exports = async function (context, eventHubMessages){
const initOptions = {
query(e) {context.log(e.query)},
capSQL: true
//capSQL: true // capitalize all generated SQL
};
const pgp = require('pg-promise')(initOptions);
const db = pgp({
host: '####',
user: '####',
password: '####',
database: 'iotdemo',
port: 5432,
ssl: true
});
// our set of columns, to be created only once (statically), and then reused,
// to let it cache up its formatting templates for high performance:
const cs = new pgp.helpers.ColumnSet(['customer', 'tag', 'value', 'period'], {table: 'testtable'});
// generating a multi-row insert query:
const query = pgp.helpers.insert(JSON.parse(eventHubMessages), cs);
//=> INSERT INTO "tmp"("col_a","col_b") VALUES('a1','b1'),('a2','b2')
// executing the query:
db.none(query);
};
And yes, this is a snippet from somewhere else. The 'eventHubMessages' should contain the payload. A couple of issues that I have had thus far are:
I can send a payload defined within the script or whilst giving it a testing payload, but I cant send the payload of the actual message
pg-promise returns a 202 regardless of whether it fails or not, so debugging is 'blind' at the moment. Any tips on how to get proper logging would be much appreciated.
I used 'capture events' in the event hub instance to capture the actual messages. These were stored in a blob storage. In noticed that the format is Avro. Do I need to peel away at that object to get to the actual array?
The input should look something like this:
[{"customer": duderino, "tag": nice_rug, "value": 10, "period": 163249839}]
I think I have 2 issues:
I dont know how to get meaningful logging out of the Azure function using Node.JS
Something is off about how my payload is coming in.
A more deeper question is, how do I know whether the Azure function is getting the data that it should. I know that the Event Grid gets the data, but there is no throughput. Namespaces are consistent and the Azure Function should be triggered by that namespace and get the input as a string.
I am seriously lost and out of my depth. Apart from the solution I would also appreciate feedback on my request. I am not a pro on StackOverflow and don't want to waste your time.
Regards
Ok, so after some digging I found a few things to resolve the issue. First of all, I was receiving the payload as a string, meaning that I needed it to parse first, before I could make it a callable object. In terms of code its simple, and part of the base functions of node.js
var parsed_payload = JSON.parse(payload_that_is_a_string);
Lastly, to get meaningful logging I found that the PG-Promise module has great support for that, and that this can be configured when loading the module itself. I was particularly interested in errors, so I enabled that option like so:
const initOptions = {
query(e) {console.log(e.query)},
capSQL: true,
//capSQL: true // capitalize all generated SQL
error: function (error, e) {
if (e.cn) {
// A connection-related error;
// console.log("DC:", e.cn);
// console.log("EVENT:", error.message);
}
}
};
That then can be used as a settings object for loading PG-Promise:
const pgp = require('pg-promise')(initOptions);
Thanks for considering my ask for help. I hope this proves useful for anyone out there!

I am new to programming and trying to experiment a bit, still struggling with the best way to access mongoDB from within my code. I've seen a few posts here on stack overflow but they more or less all require that the code required to load mongo is included in each and every .js file. I would like to avoid that in order to keep the code for accessing my DB in only one file.
Note that I am using the "mongo-factory" module.
Would the code below be acceptable?
I've created what I would call a "producer" of database objects, database.js
var mongoFactory = require('mongo-factory');
function Database(close,callback) {
mongoFactory.getConnection(<connection string>).then(function (database) {
callback(database.db(<db name>));
if(close) database.close();
}).catch(function (err) {
console.error(err);
});
}
module.exports = Database;
Then when I want to access the database from any of my files I could do the below, avoiding to introduce db-specific parameters and the mongo-factory requirement in here:
var Database = require('./database');
var callback_actOnDatabase = function (db) {
db.collection..... do something here
};
var d = new Database(false, callback_actOnDatabase);
instead of mongo-factoy use mongoose module to connect the database,model declaration also we dont intalise the db parameters again,please go through the link

I am having several problems when trying to use neo4j in nodejs at the backend.
The following seems fine, but I could not see any nodes in local database browser.
var neo4j = require('neo4j-driver').v1;
var driver = neo4j.driver("bolt://localhost", neo4j.auth.basic("neo4j", "neo4j"));
var session = driver.session();
session.run('CREATE (a:person {name: "aaaa")-[a:work_at]->(b:company {type:"Inc"})');
session.close();
driver.close();
at the local browser
http://localhost:7474/browser/
I tried to see these added nodes by
match (a) return a
but nothing came out.
So, where above nodes are now? how do I know that i added something to database?
Since above code seems fine, I put it inside a function in a module, called it in another module. The problem is that I got an error, how is this possible? It is the same code, OMG!
function test() {
var neo4j = require('neo4j-driver').v1;
var driver = neo4j.driver("bolt://localhost", neo4j.auth.basic("neo4j", "neo4j"));
var session = driver.session();
session
.run( 'CREATE (a:person {name: "aaaa")-[a:work_at]->(b:company {type:"Inc"})' )
.then( () => {
console.log( 'add a node' );
session.close();
driver.close();
})
.catch(error =>{
console.log( error );
session.close();
driver.close();
return error;
})
}
I keep getting the following error. Searched everywhere, but could not fix it.
Error: Connection was closed by server
How can I specify where to put my database files, name of the database file and so on?
I wanted to import data to noe4j from csv file.
Can I use 'load csv' like the following
session.run('load csv from .....')
can I do that?
I saw every one just using 'load csv' from commend line.
If I must have to do from command line, how can I specify the path of the file?
Anyone point out what I am doing wrong?
Please help!
Your Cypher query has a couple of major problems, and will not work.
You omitted the } when assigning the name property to the person node.
You are attempting to use the same identifier, "a", in two conflicting ways: for a node and for a relationship.
Something like this would work (I left out all identifiers, since your current query doesn't need them):
CREATE (:person {name: "aaaa"})-[:work_at]->(:company {type:"Inc"})
I'm going through learnyoumongo and I'm stuck on part 3. Basically a test database is included in the challenge, it is full of parrots, and the goal is to select the parrots whose age is greater than the input. I'm getting a weird error and google is full of mongo 2.x solutions to not exactly the same problem and I'm using mongo 3.0
This is the javascript code:
var mongo = require('mongodb').MongoClient;
var parsedInput = parseInt(process.argv[2]);
var results;
mongo.connect('mongodb://localhost:27017/learnyoumongo', function(err, db){
results = db.collection('parrots').find({ age: { $gt: parsedInput } } ).toArray(function(err, doc) //find if a value exists
{
if(doc) //if it does
{
console.log(doc);
}
else{
console.log(err);
}
});
//console.log(results);
db.close();
});
This is the weird error message:
PS C:\git\learnyoumongo> node .\test.js { [MongoError: server localhost:27017 sockets closed]
name: 'MongoError',
message: 'server localhost:27017 sockets closed' }
I tried restarting mongo, but I'm still not able to pull any of the 'parrots' data out. Even with just find({})
The problem was two pronged - The main issue was I was expecting to be able to run the query with node test.js, and see the results from the parrots collection. But learnyoumongo has atomic tests, meaning they clear the database entirely before and after, so the only way to test was learnyoumongo test.js, and I kept getting an empty result set running the node command.
The other issue was with db.close(), you can't just call db.open and then db.close, because open is async and it would close right after opening, hence the sockets closed error. So you put db.close in the toArray function, or in any other callback of db.open
In the example below, I expect to see two lines from the console.log statements in the terminal but I only get one since the second callback is never fired. I'm using mongodb (2.4.8_1) and Node.js (0.10.22) from MacPorts with the official Node.js mongodb driver (1.3.20) from NPM (1.3.15). How can this happen?
var mongodb = require('mongodb');
mongodb.MongoClient.connect('mongodb://localhost:27017/test', function (err, db) {
var query = { _id: new mongodb.ObjectID };
console.log('connect!');
db.collection('test').findOne(query, function (err, doc) {
console.log('findOne!');
});
});
Every time you run new mongodb.ObjectID it creates a new ID value - which you then instantly search for without inserting a document with. So how can it find a document, and hence show the second log line?
