var levelup = require('levelup')
var mongodown = require('mongodown')
var db = levelup('myuser:[email protected]:53798/pliplu', {db: mongodown})
db.put('key', 'value')

Should create a dabatase and put a document in it, right? But it doesn't. It fails with a MongoError: auth failed.

Everything works if I precreate the database in the MongoLab console, but I cannot make mongodown create the databases for me.

I don't understand the workings of MongoDB, so this is maybe a stupid question, but thank you for the help.

Howdy,

I have a situation where I already have a mongo connection db and collection instances, and would like to try out mongodown as a way to introduce the code to the levelup ecosystem.

I added a few lines to attempt re-using {conn: <mongojs.connect( )>, collection: 'mycollection'} as options, but got snagged when I couldn't get tests to pass before or after my changes. Any advice? Should I comment out some tests?

Hi,

I'm looking to use this package as part of some framework code and I think it would be useful to be able to set the collection name as part of the constructor. Is that behaviour that you'd be interested in?

I tried to run the example at the readme:

var levelup = require('levelup');
var db = levelup('localhost/my-database', { db: require('mongodown') });

db.put('name', 'Yuri Irsenovich Kim')
db.put('dob', '16 February 1941')
db.put('spouse', 'Kim Young-sook')
db.put('occupation', 'Clown')

db.readStream()
  .on('data', console.log)
  .on('close', function () { console.log('Show\'s over folks!') })

But I only got "Show's over folks!".
Trying to manually .get any of the keys also didn't work.

Using MongoLab as my backend. Following the instructions at the mongojs readme, I placed my user and password along with the string in the way they describe there. I also precreated a collection named "mongodown" as I saw it was the default name mongodown was using.

I placed some console.logs at the .connect and .put code to see if they were being called correctly, and yes they were. Everything seemed fine, but I couldn't dig more.

During the whole process, I tried to inspect the error parameters in the callbacks, but they were undefined or {}.

My MongoLab dashboard also shows no document has been written.
