lx-mongodb is a MongoDB driver wrapper by Litixsoft, built on top of mongojs, providing a repository pattern, JSON schema validation, and a simple data access layer. Version 0.7.0 is the latest (and possibly final) release, with low maintenance frequency. It offers BaseRepo for CRUD operations, schema-based validation, and connection management via GetDb. Unlike Mongoose, it is lighter and uses mongojs internally, but has limited community support and documentation only in German.

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

lxDb
✓ const lxDb = require('lx-mongodb');
✗ import lxDb from 'lx-mongodb';
Package uses CommonJS; ES modules not supported.
GetDb
✓ const db = lxDb.GetDb('connectionString', ['collections']);
✗ const db = lxDb.GetDb({url: '...', collections: [...]});
First argument is a connection string, second is an array of collection names.
BaseRepo
✓ const repo = lxDb.BaseRepo(collection);
✗ const repo = new lxDb.BaseRepo(collection);
BaseRepo is a factory function, not a constructor. Optionally accepts a schema function as second parameter.

Connects to a local MongoDB blog database, creates a repository for the users collection, inserts a user, and retrieves all users.

const lxDb = require('lx-mongodb'); const db = lxDb.GetDb('localhost/blog?w=1&journal=True&fsync=True', ['users']); const repo = lxDb.BaseRepo(db.users); // insert a user repo.insert({ userName: 'Alice', age: 30 }, (err, result) => { if (err) console.error(err); else console.log('Inserted:', result); }); // find all users repo.find((err, users) => { if (err) console.error(err); else console.log('Users:', users); });
Debug
Known issues
breakingMethod `insert` returns the raw mongojs result object, not a Mongoose-like document.
fix
Access inserted document from the callback result (e.g., result.ops[0]) or use `insertOne`.
affects: *
gotchaConnection string must include query parameters for write concern (e.g., ?w=1). Without them, writes may be unacknowledged.
fix
Always append ?w=1&journal=True to the connection string for safe writes.
affects: *
deprecatedPackage relies on `mongojs`, which is no longer actively maintained. Consider migrating to the official MongoDB Node.js driver or Mongoose.
fix
Replace lx-mongodb with `mongodb` or `mongoose` for modern applications.
affects: *
gotchaCollection names passed to GetDb are case-sensitive and must match exactly.
fix
Ensure collection names are spelled correctly and match the database.
affects: *
Errors
Common errors & fixes
Cannot find module 'mongojs'
lx-mongodb requires mongojs as a peer dependency, but it's not installed.
fix
npm install mongojs
TypeError: lxDb.GetDb is not a function
Incorrect import or package not loaded properly.
fix
Use const lxDb = require('lx-mongodb');
Error: schema is not a function
Second argument to BaseRepo must be a function returning a schema object.
fix
Ensure schema is defined as function() { return { ... }; }
MongoError: not authorized for query on blog.users
Authentication not provided or credentials missing.
fix
Include credentials in connection string: 'username:password@localhost/blog'
