Using mongodb-stitch library in Angular 4 - mongodb

Question

Im been trying the MongoDB Stitch service in Angular, so far Im able to use the service. However, the only way I could connect to the service is by including the js library hosted in AWS on the html page.
There is a mongodb-stitch npm package available and there are sample pages on mongodb tutorial on how to use it. But this is a pure JS library (no TS support) and I have tried several ways (using require, installing typings of the lib (not available), using #types) to no avail.
Anyone tried this on Ng4? Would love to have the steps you did to use the 'mongodb-stitch' package the create a service.

Answer 1

The other answer suggests instantiating a new instance of StitchClient which is something that MongoDB have explicitly advised against in the Official API Documentation - and with reason, since there is a factory method available for that purpose. So, (after installing mongodb-stitch), the following code would help you get started in component.ts
import { Component, OnInit } from "#angular/core";
import { StitchClientFactory } from "mongodb-stitch";
let appId = 'authapp-****';
#Component({
selector: "app-mongo-auth",
templateUrl: "./mongo-auth.component.html",
styleUrls: ["./mongo-auth.component.css"]
})
export class MongoAuthComponent implements OnInit {
mClient;
ngOnInit() {
this.mClient = StitchClientFactory.create(appId);
}
And you can then use this for whatever purpose you want, such as for implementing sign-in with Google
gLogin(){
this.mClient.then(stitchClient => {
stitchClient.authenticate("google");
})

Answer 2

not sure whether the question is still relevant considering it was asked two months ago but anyway...
As you pointed out you can use
npm install --save mongodb-stitch
to install the package and since there is no TS binding you can declare the stitch library as any
For example:
declare var stitch: any;
export class MyService implements OnInit {
db;
client;
ngOnInit() {
this.client = new stitch.StitchClient('<check the stitch app page for proper value>');
this.db = this.client.service('mongodb', 'mongodb-atlas').db('<the db name goes here>');
this.client.login();
}
save() {
this.db.collection('<collection name>').insertOne({key : 'value'}).then(() => console.log("All done"));
}
}

the previous answers are functional, but i wanna share a example using a service injectable.
service.ts
import { Injectable } from '#angular/core';
import { Jsonp, URLSearchParams } from '#angular/http';
import { StitchClientFactory } from "mongodb-stitch";
import 'rxjs/add/operator/map';
#Injectable()
export class Service {
constructor(private jsonp: Jsonp) { }
client;
connect(){
this.client = new StitchClientFactory.create("App ID"); // Slitch apps > Clients > App ID
this.client.then(stitchClient => stitchClient.login())
.then((stitchClient) => console.log('logged in as: ' + stitchClient))
.catch(e => console.log('error: ', e));
}
all() {
this.connect();
return this.client.then(stitchClient => {
let db = stitchClient.service('mongodb', 'mongodb-atlas').db("database Name"); // Slitch apps > mongodb-atlas > Name database.Collection
let itemsCollection = db.collection('name collection'); // Slitch apps > mongodb-atlas > Name database.Collection
console.log(itemsCollection.find().execute());
return itemsCollection.find().execute();
})
.then(result => {return result})
.catch(e => console.log('error: ', e));
}
}
after make the previous file, you must create a module to receive the data, so:
module.ts
import { Component, OnInit, Injectable } from '#angular/core';
import { Observable } from 'rxjs/Observable';
import { StitchClientFactory } from "mongodb-stitch";
import { Service } from 'service'; // previous code
declare var stitch: any;
#Component({
template: '
<ul class="demo-list-icon mdl-list">
<li class="mdl-list__item" *ngFor="let item of data | async">
<span class="mdl-list__item-primary-content">
<i class="material-icons mdl-list__item-icon">{{propiedad.nombre}}</i>
</span>
</li>
</ul>
'
})
export class MainComponent implements OnInit {
data: Observable<[]>;
constructor(private Service: service) {
}
ngOnInit() {
this.propiedades = this.Service.all();
}
}
important, you don´t must forget to add service on module.ts intitial declarations.
