Contentstack is a headless CMS with an API-first approach. It is a CMS that developers can use to build powerful cross-platform applications in their favorite languages. Build your application frontend, and Contentstack will take care of the rest. Read More.
Contentstack DataSync lets you sync your Contentstack data with your database, enabling you to save data locally and serve content directly from your database. It is a combination of four powerful modules that is DataSync Webhook Listener, DataSync Manager, DataSync Asset Store Filesystem, DataSync Content Store — Filesystem and MongoDB.
The Cotentstack MongoDB Content Store is part of Contentstack DataSync's content storage drivers and is used to store data in the MongoDB database. Any publish, unpublish, or delete action performed on content will be tracked by the Webhook Listener and the relevant content will be synced accordingly in your MongoDB database.
- Nodejs v8 or above
- Mongodb v3.6 or above
This is how the datasync-content-store-filesystem is defined in the boilerplate:
const assetStore = require('@contentstack/datasync-asset-store-filesystem')
const contentStore = require('@contentstack/datasync-content-store-mongodb')
const listener = require('@contentstack/webhook-listener')
const syncManager = require('@contentstack/datasync-manager')
const config = require('./config')
syncManager.setAssetStore(assetStore)
syncManager.setContentStore(contentStore)// Sets required asset store to sync manager.
syncManager.setListener(listener)
syncManager.setConfig(config)
syncManager.start()
.then(() => {
console.log('Contentstack sync started successfully!')
})
.catch(console.error)
Here is the config table for the module:
Property | Data Type | Default value | Description |
---|---|---|---|
dbName | string | contentstack-persistent-db | Optional. The MongoDB database name |
collectionName | string | contents | Optional. MongoDB database's collection name |
uri | string | mongodb://localhost:27017 | Optional. The MongoDB connection URI |
indexes | object | see config below | Optional. Option to create db indexes via configuration |
unwantedKeys | object | see config below | Optional. Keys to be removed, while data is being inserted |
options | object | see config below | Optional. The MongoDB connection options |
