library1.0.6jsnpmunverified

A small utility library (v1.0.6, last release 2012) providing helper functions used internally for MongoDB driver testing. No active development; superseded by mongodb-memory-server and modern test harnesses. Differentiator: early tool for MongoDB test setup, now outdated.

Verified usage

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

MongoTools
✓ const MongoTools = require('mongodb-tools');
✗ import MongoTools from 'mongodb-tools';
This package provides a CommonJS module; no ES module or default export available. Use require().
startMongoD
✓ const startMongoD = require('mongodb-tools').startMongoD;
✗ const { startMongoD } = require('mongodb-tools');
Destructuring works, but the package exports individual functions on the module object.
stopMongoD
✓ const stopMongoD = require('mongodb-tools').stopMongoD;
✗ import { stopMongoD } from 'mongodb-tools';
ESM import is not supported; only CommonJS require.

Shows how to start and stop a MongoDB process using asynchronous callbacks.

const MongoTools = require('mongodb-tools'); // Start a MongoDB instance (uses mongod from PATH) MongoTools.startMongoD({ dbpath: '/tmp/mongodb-test' }, function(err, child) { if (err) throw err; console.log('MongoDB started with PID:', child.pid); // ... run tests ... // Stop the instance MongoTools.stopMongoD(child, function(err) { if (err) throw err; console.log('MongoDB stopped'); }); });

fix
Install MongoDB server separately or upgrade to mongodb-memory-server.
affects: >=1.0.0
gotchaCallbacks only; no Promise support.
fix
Wrap in Promise manually or use a modern library.
