wait-for-mongodb-slim

library1.0.3jsnpmunverified

Lightweight CLI tool that waits for a MongoDB server to be ready by repeatedly attempting a connection to the provided URI with a configurable retry interval. Version 1.0.3 (latest) offers a simple, no-dependency approach focusing solely on connection readiness. Unlike heavier alternatives like docker-compose wait scripts, this package provides a minimal, portable solution for CI/CD pipelines and orchestration scenarios where only connection availability is needed. Release cadence is low; no active development.

Known issues

gotchaPackage is CLI-only and has no programmatic API. Cannot be used as a module in code.

fix

If you need a programmatic wait function, use a different library like wait-for-mongo (non-slim) or write your own.

affects: >=1.0.0

gotchaThe --t argument value is in seconds, but many users mistakenly assume milliseconds.

fix

Use --t with the number of seconds (e.g., --t 2 for 2 seconds).

affects: >=1.0.0
