monk-middleware-wait-for-connection

library0.2.0jsnpmunverified

A thin middleware for the Monk MongoDB driver that defers all database operations until the underlying MongoDB connection is fully established. Version 0.2.0 is stable, released infrequently, and is part of the Monk middleware ecosystem. It prevents race conditions by queueing queries before the connection is ready. Unlike manual connection checks, this transparently applies to all collections registered in Monk.

Verified usage

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

default

✓ import waitForConnection from 'monk-middleware-wait-for-connection'

✗ const waitForConnection = require('monk-middleware-wait-for-connection')

Default export. CommonJS require works but ESM is preferred in modern environments.

Shows how to apply the wait-for-connection middleware to a Monk database instance, ensuring that subsequent collection operations are queued until the MongoDB connection is established.

import monk from 'monk'; import waitForConnection from 'monk-middleware-wait-for-connection'; const db = monk('localhost/mydb'); db.addMiddleware(waitForConnection); const collection = db.get('mycollection'); // This operation will wait until the connection is ready collection.insert({ name: 'test' }) .then(doc => console.log('Inserted:', doc)) .catch(err => console.error('Error:', err));

Debug

Known issues

gotchaMiddleware must be added before any operations are performed on collections, otherwise those operations may execute before the connection is ready.

fix

Ensure db.addMiddleware(waitForConnection) is called immediately after creating the Monk instance, before any collection.get() or queries.

affects: >=0.1.0

gotchaThis middleware only works with Monk's middleware system. If you bypass Monk and access the native MongoDB driver directly, the middleware will not be applied.

fix

Always use Monk's API (db.get(), collection.find(), etc.) to benefit from the middleware.

affects: >=0.1.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

TypeError: db.addMiddleware is not a function

Attempting to call addMiddleware on a Monk instance that does not support it (e.g., older Monk version or incorrect import).

fix

Ensure you are using Monk version 5.x or later (where middleware was introduced). Upgrade monk to >=5.0.0.

Error: Cannot find module 'monk-middleware-wait-for-connection'

Package not installed or not in node_modules.

fix

Run 'npm install monk-middleware-wait-for-connection' to add the package.
