JJMasterData.MongoDB

Intro

Plugin used to add support for the MongoDB database. At the moment only the IDataDictionaryRepository interface (used to store your database metadata) is implemented.

Motivation

The metadata in JJMasterData is represented by JSON objects. We believe that it makes more sense to store metadata in JSON format in a NoSQL database than in a relational database.
In the future it is also planned to implement the forms data storage (IEntityRepository).

Configuration

Add the following method to MasterDataServiceBuilder:

builder.AddJJMasterDataWeb()
.WithMongoDBDataDictionaryRepository(mongo =>
{
    mongo.ConnectionString = "mongodb://localhost:27017";
    mongo.CollectionName = "metadata";
    mongo.DatabaseName = "jjmasterdata";
});

Development Setup

Creating a MongoDB database using a Docker container

Pull the image

docker pull mongo

Run the container
Obs: On --name you can put whatever name you want it. The convention for the port is 27017

docker run -d -p 27017:27017 --name mongodb mongo:latest

Check the port your database is running.

docker ps
