+# koop-provider-mongo
+
+Provider to fetch data from a MongoDb instance.  It can access any database/collection on your instance by assigning the `id` route-parameter a delimited value in the form of `database-name::collection-name`.
+
+## Data considerations
+As per MongoDB specifications, [each document/record in your dataset will have a unique-identifier](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/core/document/#the-_id-field), `_id`.  At insert time, you can choose to assign this value manually, or allow Mongo to generate it automatically. In terms of your provider metadata, this means that you could always use `_id` as the value of your provider's `idField` (an attribute used to flag which GeoJSON property is the unique-identifier).
+
+If your data has a geometry, you should consider using [geospatial index](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/core/indexes/index-types/index-geospatial/).  While not necessary, it will likely speed any queries including a geometry operation.
+
+## Usage
+
+Register the provider with Koop:
+
+```js
+const Koop = require('@koopjs/koop-core');
+const koop = new Koop({ logLevel: 'info'});
+const mongoProvider = require('@koopjs/provider-mongodb');
+
+koop.register(mongoProvider, { connnectString, databases });
+```
+
+### Registration/Config parameters
+The provider can be configured with registration options or the use of the `config` module with an entry key `"mongodb"` in the JSON configuration document.  See below, for an example of using the `config` approach 
+
+
+#### `connectString`: string
+A MongoDB connection string, e.g., `mongodb://localhost:27017`. 
+
+#### `databases`: object
+A key/value populated object that serves as a metadata lookup/dictionary for any database/collection on your MongoDB instance that you wish to provide access.  For example, if imagine you have a database called `db1` and it has a collection called `my-collection`.  You can set up the `databases` object so as to provide metadata for `my-collection`:
+
+```js
+{
+  db1: {
+    'my-collection': {
+      geometryField: 'location', // field holding a record's GeoJSON geometry.
+      idField: '_id', // field to treat as the unique-id.  Default: `_id`.
+      cacheTtl: 0, // number of seconds to cache results from MongoDb. Default: 0.
+      crs: 4326, // Coordinate reference system of geometry. Default: 4326.
+      maxRecordCount: 2000, // Max number of records to return in a page. Default: 2000.
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Note that for each collection, you may configure the options above.  If you do not assign a field to `geometryField`, the collection will be treated like tabular data, and the GeoJSON generated will have no geometry,
+
+#### `definedCollectionsOnly`: boolean
+This setting determines if the database/collection must appear in the `databases` parameter to be accessed. Defaults to `true`.
+
+
+#### Setting with the "config" module
+Koop allows providers to use the [`config` module](https://github.com/node-config/node-config). The settings above can be stored in a config JSON under the key `mongodb`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "mongodb": {
+      "connectString": "mongodb://localhost:27017",
+      "databases": {
+        "cdf-sample-data": {
+          "fires": {
+            "geometryField": "location",
+            "idField": "_id",
+            "cacheTtl": 0,
+            "crs": 4326,
+            "maxRecordCount": 2000
+          }
+        }
+      }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Route parameters
+
+#### `id`
+Once registered with Koop, the provide will expose routes with an `id` parameter. For example:
+
+```sh
+/mongodb/rest/services/:id/FeatureServer
+```
+
+The `id` parameter should be filled with a `::` delimited string with the target `<database>::<collection>`.  For example, a request like:
+
+```sh
+/mongodb/rest/services/sample-db::fires/FeatureServer/0/query
+```
+
+would return records from the `fires` _collection_ in the `sample-db` _database_. 
+
+## Demo
+
+The repository includes a demonstration project.  To run the demo you will need Docker installed on your computer. Once installed you can following the steps below to create a local Elastic instance and load it with sample data:
+
+```sh
+> npm install
+
+> cd demo
+
+# use Docker to run Elastic/Kibana
+> docker-compose up -d
+
+# load sample data; this will create an MongoDB database called "sample-data' with a collection named "fires"
+> node loader.js 
+
+# start the Koop application
+> node index.js
+```
