We got a note from Anders Elo from Sweden. He told us that he has released a ArangoDB client for node.js. Awesome! 
You can find it on Github under the URL https://github.com/kaerus/arango-client. To install locally
npm install git://github.com/kaerus/arango-client

It’s still lacking features and is prone to changes but it works quite nice, atleast I think so.
I’ve not documented this project as of yet due to lack of time so I’ll briefly instruct you by some examples.
var arango = require('arango.client'), util = require('util'); /* Prepare a connection, defaults {protocol:'http', hostname:'127.0.0.1', port: 8529} */ db = new arango.Connection({name:"testcollection"}); /* we need to first create our test collection */ db.collection.create(function(err,ret){ console.log("err(%s): ",err, ret); }); /* create a new document in collection */ db.document.create({a:"test"},function(err,ret){ if(err) console.log("error(%s): ", err,ret); else console.log(util.inspect(ret)); }); /* create a document and a new collection on demand */ db.document.create_("newcollection",{a:"test"},function(err,ret){ if(err) console.log("error(%s): ", err,ret); else console.log(util.inspect(ret)); }); /* alternate style utilizing events */ db.document.list().on('result',function(result){ console.log(util.inspect(result)); }).on('error',function(error){ console.log("error(%s):", error.code, error.message); }); |
The interface to the ArangoDB REST api resides in the lib/api directory. You can find out more details there. Anders also includes some tests, just runt “npm test” to execute them.
