  • Introduction to Flexmonster MongoDB Connector

    Flexmonster MongoDB Connector is an open-source server-side tool for connecting to MongoDB. The Connector is written in Node.js and is based on the custom data source API, our communication protocol for loading data from any server to Flexmonster Pivot.

    How the Connector works

    Flexmonster MongoDB Connector contains a set of methods that retrieve the necessary data from MongoDB and aggregate it.

    To use these methods, you must embed the Connector into your proxy Node.js server. Flexmonster will send requests for data to this server, whereas the server will pass them to the Connector using the Connector’s methods. Once the Connector fetches and processes the MongoDB data, the server will send the ready-to-show data to Flexmonster.

    Since all manipulations with data are performed on the server side, data visualization becomes faster and the browser's resources are used more efficiently.
