Node.js Backend and API Developer Needed
$8-15 USD / hour
Description
I have a small Node/Docker application which does not work if the MongoDB library is included. Structure of the application is:
Node Express application - Exposes a few simple test API endpoints.
Docker - The Node application runs in a Docker container
MongoDB Atlas - Currently this is *not* included but it is the objective of this work. I want the Node application to make a connection to MongoDB using the *native Mongo* driver. NOT Mongoose.
NodeMon - Project is setup with file monitoring to save development time. Also, the Visual Studio debugger is enabled and appears to be working well.
Here is a link to a Visual Studio project which contains a test version of the application error. It has had files removed for security and to reduce the file size. Here’s some rough instructions, I’m not a Node/Docker expert but this should get you going. [login to view URL]
1 - Download and uncompressed the Visual Studio zip file
2 - Open the workspace in Visual Studio
3 - Open a new terminal window in the project root folder and run "docker compose build" to the project
4 - Run ‘docker compose up’ to run the project
You’re objective is to:
1 - Remove the "//const MongoClient = require("mongodb").MongoClient;” line
2 - Run ‘docker compose up’ to start the code
3 - Fix the code so it does not crash
4 - Demonstrate a working connection between the application and a remote Mongo Atlas database (you will need to create one yourself or point to one). The data does not matter, I just need to see examples of: a) A READ query, b) An UPDATE query, c) A CREATE new record query
Error
See this file for a description of the error which needs to be fixed - [login to view URL]
Debugging
The application connects to a remote Mongo Atlas database correctly if the code is run outside the container. I’ve developed a simple Mongo connection js file which tests this. The output is shown here - [login to view URL]
Also, here is a screenshot of a sample GET call to the API endpoint using Postman. This call works when the Mongo library is commented out in the [login to view URL] file. [login to view URL]
I’ve also checked the Mongo library is present within the running Docker container. This has been done by looking at the file system of the Node app within Docker Desktop. [login to view URL]
NOTE - I have deleted the node_modules folder to reduce the size of the sample application for upload. The Docker compose process should rebuild this.
Deliverables
A working Visual Studio project which allows the Node application to connect with a remote Atlas hosted Mongo database. Importantly, the Node application must be hosted in a Docker container.
Timescale
I expect this should be a very simple task for an experienced Node/Docker/Mongo developer. Including time for Q&A and setup I’m thinking this is no more than a couple of hours work. If you disagree please do not waste time responding.
Skills Needed
You will have strong experience in Node/Express, Docker, Mongo, NodeMon. You will be self sufficient and able to work without extensive supervision. Good communication and English skills are essential.
