pow-mongodb-fixtures

library0.14.0jsnpmunverified

A simple fixture loader for MongoDB on Node.js that uses JSON files to define test data. Version 0.14.0 is the latest stable release; the package appears to be in maintenance mode with no recent updates (last publish ~8 years ago). Key differentiators include easy document relationship management (referencing document IDs), support for loading from files or directories, built-in CLI tool, and helpers like clearAndLoad and addModifier. It uses the native MongoDB driver but is not promise-based — all APIs are callback-style.

Install & Compatibility

Where this runs

No compatibility data collected yet for this library.

Code

Verified usage

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

Loader

✓ const fixtures = require('pow-mongodb-fixtures').connect('dbname');

✗ import fixtures from 'pow-mongodb-fixtures';

This package is CommonJS-only, not ESM-compatible. Use require() or dynamic import(). The connect() method returns a Loader instance.

createObjectId

✓ const createObjectId = require('pow-mongodb-fixtures').createObjectId;

✗ const { createObjectId } = require('pow-mongodb-fixtures');

createObjectId is a named export from the main module, but destructuring from require may not work depending on module system. Use the full require() call.

fixtures.load

✓ fixtures.load({ users: [{ name: 'test' }] }, function(err) { if (err) throw err; });

✗ fixtures.load({ users: [{ name: 'test' }] });

The load method requires a callback. Omitting it will cause an unhandled error if something fails.

Connects to MongoDB, clears all existing data, and loads user fixtures using clearAllAndLoad.

Debug

Known issues

breakingAll callback methods (load, clear, etc.) must receive a callback. If omitted, errors may be thrown or become unhandled.

fix

Always provide a callback function to async methods, even if empty.

affects: >=0.0.0

deprecatedThe package uses the callback pattern instead of promises or async/await. No promise wrappers are provided.

fix

Wrap calls in your own promise or use util.promisify to convert to async/await.

affects: >=0.0.0

breakingOptions object in connect() accepts 'safe' which defaults to false. In modern MongoDB drivers, safe mode is not relevant and may cause unexpected behavior.

fix

Set safe: true if you need write acknowledgments, or remove the option to use default driver behavior.

affects: >=0.9.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

TypeError: fixtures.load is not a function

Calling fixtures.load() before running connect() or using a wrong import path.

fix

Ensure you call connect() first: const fixtures = require('pow-mongodb-fixtures').connect('dbname');

MongoError: no primary server is available

MongoDB server is not running or connection options (host/port) are incorrect.

fix

Start MongoDB (e.g., mongod) or check host/port in connect() call.

Error: callback is required

Calling load, clear, or other async methods without a callback argument.

fix

Provide a callback function as the last argument: load(data, function(err) { ... });
