Documentation

Getting started

  1. Require the DocumentStore class from the ravendb package
const { DocumentStore } = require('ravendb');

or (using ES6 / Typescript imports)

import { DocumentStore } from 'ravendb';
  1. Initialize the document store (you should have a single DocumentStore instance per application)
const store = new DocumentStore('http://live-test.ravendb.net', 'databaseName');
store.initialize();
  1. Open a session
const session = store.openSession();
  1. Call saveChanges() when you're done
session
 .load('users/1-A') // Load document
 .then((user) => {
   user.password = PBKDF2('new password'); // Update data 
 })
 .then(() => session.saveChanges()) // Save changes
 .then(() => {
     // Data is now persisted
     // You can proceed e.g. finish web request
  });

Supported asynchronous call types

Most methods on the session object are asynchronous and return a Promise.
Either use async & await or .then() with callback functions.

  1. async / await
const session = store.openSession();
let user = await session.load('users/1-A');
user.password = PBKDF2('new password');
await session.saveChanges();
  1. .then & callback functions
session.load('Users/1-A')
    .then((user) => {
        user.password = PBKDF2('new password');
    })
    .then(() => session.saveChanges())
    .then(() => {
        // here session is complete
    });

CRUD example

Store documents

let product = {
    id: null,
    title: 'iPhone X',
    price: 999.99,
    currency: 'USD',
    storage: 64,
    manufacturer: 'Apple',
    in_stock: true,
    last_update: new Date('2017-10-01T00:00:00')
};

await session.store(product, 'products/1-A');
console.log(product.id); // products/1-A
await session.saveChanges();
Related tests:

Load documents

const product = await session.load('products/1-A');
console.log(product.title); // iPhone X
console.log(product.id);    // products/1-A
Related tests:

load()

Load documents with include

// users/1
// {
//      "name": "John",
//      "kids": ["users/2", "users/3"]
// }

const session = store.openSession();
const user1 = await session
    .include("kids")
    .load("users/1");
    // Document users/1 and all docs referenced in "kids"
    // will be fetched from the server in a single request.

const user2 = await session.load("users/2"); // this won't call server again

assert.ok(user1);
assert.ok(user2);
assert.equal(session.advanced.numberOfRequests, 1);

Update documents

let product = await session.load('products/1-A');
product.in_stock = false;
product.last_update = new Date();
await session.saveChanges();
// ...
product = await session.load('products/1-A');
console.log(product.in_stock);    // false
console.log(product.last_update); // the current date

Delete documents

  1. Using entity
let product = await session.load('products/1-A');
await session.delete(product);
await session.saveChanges();

product = await session.load('products/1-A');
console.log(product); // null
  1. Using document ID
await session.delete('products/1-A');
Related tests:

delete doc by entity
delete doc by ID
onBeforeDelete is called before delete by ID
cannot delete untracked entity
loading deleted doc returns null

Query documents

  1. Use query() session method:

Query by collection:

const query = session.query({ collection: 'products' });

Query by index name:

const query = session.query({ indexName: 'productsByCategory' });

Query by index:

const query = session.query(Product, Product_ByName);

Query by entity type:

import { User } from "./models";
const query = session.query(User);
  1. Build up the query - apply search conditions, set ordering, etc.
    Query supports chaining calls:
query
    .waitForNonStaleResults()
    .usingDefaultOperator('AND')
    .whereEquals('manufacturer', 'Apple')
    .whereEquals('in_stock', true)
    .whereBetween('last_update', new Date('2022-11-01T00:00:00'), new Date())
    .orderBy('price');
  1. Execute the query to get results:
const results = await query.all(); // get all results
// ...
const firstResult = await query.first(); // gets first result
// ...
const single = await query.single();  // gets single result

Using object literals for entities

To comfortably use object literals as entities,
configure the collection name that will be used in the store conventions.

This must be done before calling initialize() on the DocumentStore instance,
else, your entities will be created in the @empty collection.

const store = new DocumentStore(urls, database);

// Configure the collection name that will be used
store.conventions.findCollectionNameForObjectLiteral = entity => entity["collection"];
// ...
store.initialize();

// Sample object literal
const user = {
   collection: "Users",
   name: "John"
};

session = store.openSession();
await session.store(user);
await session.saveChanges();

// The document will be stored in the 'Users' collection

Using classes for entities

  1. Define your model as class. Attributes should be just public properties:
export class Product {
    constructor(
        id = null,
        title = '',
        price = 0,
        currency = 'USD',
        storage = 0,
        manufacturer = '',
        in_stock = false,
        last_update = null
    ) {
        Object.assign(this, {
            title,
            price,
            currency,
            storage,
            manufacturer,
            in_stock,
            last_update: last_update || new Date()
        });
      }
}
  1. To store a document pass its instance to store().
    The collection name will automatically be detected from the entity's class name.
import { Product } from "./models"; 

let product = new Product(
  null, 'iPhone X', 999.99, 'USD', 64, 'Apple', true, new Date('2017-10-01T00:00:00'));

product = await session.store(product);
console.log(product instanceof Product);       // true
console.log(product.id.includes('products/')); // true
await session.saveChanges();
  1. Loading a document
const product = await session.load('products/1-A');
console.log(product instanceof Product); // true
console.log(product.id);                 // products/1-A
  1. Querying for documents
const products = await session.query({  collection: 'products' }).all();

products.forEach((product) => {
  console.log(product instanceof Product);       // true
  console.log(product.id.includes('products/')); // true
});

Usage with TypeScript

TypeScript typings are embedded into the package (see types property in package.json).

// file models/product.ts
export class Product {
  constructor(
    public id: string = null,
    public title: string = '',
    public price: number = 0,
    public currency: string = 'USD',
    public storage: number = 0,
    public manufacturer: string = '',
    public in_stock: boolean = false,
    public last_update: Date = null
  ) {}
}

// file app.ts
import {Product} from "models/product";
import {DocumentStore, IDocumentStore, IDocumentSession, IDocumentQuery, DocumentConstructor, QueryOperators} from 'ravendb';

const store: IDocumentStore = new DocumentStore('url', 'database name');
let session: IDocumentSession;

store.initialize();

(async (): Promise<void> => {
  let product = new Product(
    null, 'iPhone X', 999.99, 'USD', 64, 'Apple', true, new Date('2017-10-01T00:00:00')
  );

  await session.store<Product>(product);
  await session.saveChanges();
  console.log(product instanceof Product);       // true
  console.log(product.id.includes('products/')); // true

  product = await session.load<Product>('products/1-A');
  console.log(product instanceof Product); // true
  console.log(product.id);                 // products/1-A

  let products: Product[] = await session
    .query<Product>({ collection: 'Products' })
    .waitForNonStaleResults()
    .whereEquals('manufacturer', 'Apple')
    .whereEquals('in_stock', true)
    .whereBetween('last_update', new Date('2017-10-01T00:00:00'), new Date())
    .whereGreaterThanOrEqual('storage', 64)
    .all();

  products.forEach((product: Product): void => {
    console.log(product instanceof Product);       // true
    console.log(product.id.includes('products/')); // true
  });
})();

Working with a secure server

  1. Fill auth options object.
    Pass the contents of the pem/pfx certificate, specify its type, and (optionally) a passphrase:
const {DocumentStore, Certificate} = require('ravendb');

const certificate = `
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
...
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
...
-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
`;

let authOptions = {
  certificate,
  type: "pem",
  password: "my passphrase" // optional  
};

PFX certificates content should be passed as a Buffer object:

const {DocumentStore} = require('ravendb');
const fs = require('fs');

const certificate = './cert.pfx';

let authOptions = {
  certificate: fs.readFileSync(certificate),
  type: "pfx",
  password: 'my passphrase' // optional  
};
  1. Pass auth options as third argument to DocumentStore constructor:
let store = new DocumentStore('url', 'databaseName', authOptions);
store.initialize();
