zealot

library0.2.0jsnpmunverified

Zealot is a futurist MongoDB library for Node.js 7+ that provides a proxy-based API allowing CRUD operations via property assignment and deletion syntax. It wraps the MongoDB driver's native API (db.collection, findOne, update, deleteOne, drop) with async/await support. As of v0.2.0, it is in early development with limited features and no connection pooling or advanced query capabilities. It offers a unique syntactic style but sacrifices clarity and is not recommended for production use. Release cadence is unknown; last published 2016.

Code

Verified usage

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

default

✓ import zealot from 'zealot'

✗ const zealot = require('zealot').default

ESM default import works directly as the package exports a single function/object.

open

✓ zealot.open(uri)

✗ const { open } = require('zealot')

open is a method on the default export, not a named export.

collection access

✓ zealot.collectionName.find()

✗ zealot.getCollection('collectionName').find()

Collections are accessed via property names on the zealot object (Proxy). No getCollection method exists.

Demonstrates open connection, insert via assignment, findOne, update via property set, delete document, and drop collection.

const zealot = require('zealot') async function main() { await zealot.open('mongodb://localhost:27017/test') // Insert a document using assignment await (zealot.users['john_doe'] = { name: 'John Doe', email: 'john@example.com' }) // Find one document const user = await zealot.users.findOne({ name: 'John Doe' }) console.log('Found user:', user) // Update via assignment await (zealot.users[user._id].email = 'john.doe@example.com') // Delete a document await (delete zealot.users[user._id]) // Drop collection await (delete zealot.users) } main().catch(console.error)

Debug

Known issues

gotchaProperty assignment and deletion are async and must be awaited, but they look like synchronous operations.

fix

Always use await when assigning or deleting to trigger the database operation.

affects: >=0.1.0

gotchaCollection names are accessed as properties of the zealot object. Using a variable as a collection name is not straightforward.

fix

Use zealot[collectionName] where collectionName is a string variable.

affects: >=0.1.0

breakingOnly works with Node.js 7+ due to async/await and Proxy support. Older versions will throw errors.

fix

Upgrade to Node.js 7+ or use a transpiler like Babel.

affects: >=0.1.0

deprecatedThe library is early-stage and not actively maintained. The last release was in 2016.

fix

Consider using the official MongoDB driver (mongodb) or Mongoose for production.

affects: >=0.1.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

ReferenceError: zealot is not defined

Missing require or import of the package.

fix

Add 'const zealot = require('zealot')' or 'import zealot from 'zealot'' at the top.

TypeError: zealot.open is not a function

Forgot to require the package, so zealot is undefined or a different object.

fix

Ensure require('zealot') returns the correct object.

SyntaxError: await is only valid in async function

Using await outside an async function.

fix

Wrap code in an async function.
