MongoDB integration example

[ch4nd4n]

Is there any example of how to integrate with MongoDB? I would like to know the best practice around it, any comments?

This is what I did

1. Create Mongoose Model

const TodoSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
  title: { type: String, required: true },
});
const model = mongoose.models.Todo || mongoose.model("Todo", TodoSchema);

2. Connect to Mongo

mongoose.connect(
  "mongodb://root:example@localhost:27017/chandan_vercel_dev?authSource=admin",
);

3. Fetch data using loader

export let loader: any = async () => {
  return await Todo.find({});
};

Described the workflow at https://www.chandankumar.com/blog/remix-run-mongodb-tutorial

Yes I am aware of that. Wanted to know without prisma.

Thanks, I got a working example at https://github.com/ch4nd4n/practice/tree/master/remix/firebase-auth

Best practice is to use Prisma for your databases, if available.

Best practice is to use Prisma for your databases, if available.

I suspect that's the case on the official documentation

Known limitations
As MongoDB support is currently in preview there are some known limitations that come with adopting Prisma into your MongoDB project, these include:

Currently no embedded collection support.

Embedded documents and the ability to query is one of the core features. I am not sure without these anyone would take Prisma seriously for MongoDB.

[ccssmnn]

Yeah, if Prisma support is not there (yet), I would refer to the database's best practices for NodeJS clients. Data fetching inside the loaders is just NodeJS communicating with the client. Everything else is cient-server-communication, which should not be affected by your choice of database.

There is nothing special about using MongoDB.
You can create a global connection like in the NextJS example and then use that in your actions/loaders/...
Same for mongoose.

For some reason, I missed the example. Yes, I ended up doing something similar but abstracted the implementation in a service layer.
