The DocumentDb Driver for Azure Mobile Apps

Azure Mobile Apps DocumentDb Driver

This contains the Azure Mobile Apps DocumentDb Driver for the Node SDK.

Configuring via App Settings

Set a Connection String called MS_DocumentDbConnectionString to the connection string of your DocumentDb instance. This is found in the Keys section of the DocumentDb resource.

Configuring in azureMobile.js

Here is an example azureMobile.js file:

var docdb = require('azure-mobile-apps-documentdb-driver');
var winston = require('winston');

module.exports = {
    data: {
        provider: docdb,
        host: '<the url to your documentdb instance>',
        accountKey: '<the account key for your documentdb instance>'
    },

    logging: {
        level: 'silly',
        transports: [
            new winston.transports.Console({ colorize: true, timestamp: true })
        ]
    }
};

Configuring in code

You can configure within the your code as well, like this:

const mobile = zumo({
    data: {
        provider: require('azure-mobile-apps-documentdb-driver')
    }
});

This is useful when configuring via App Settings as you still have to tell the server to use the driver!

Other Options in the data object

• database: 'AzureMobile',
• connectionPolicy: undefined,
• consistencyLevel: 'Session',
