This package spins up a actual/real MongoDB Server programmatically from node for testing or mocking during development. By default it holds the data in memory. Fresh spinned up mongod process takes about 7Mb of memory. The server will allow you to connect your favorite ODM or client library to the MongoDB Server and run integration tests isolated from each other.
This package on first start downloads the latest MongoDB binaries and save it to node_modules/.cache/mongodb-memory-server/mongodb-binaries folder. So first run may take a time. All further runs will fast, because use already downloaded binaries.
Every MongoMemoryServer instance creates and starts fresh MongoDB server on some free port. You may start up several mongod simultaneously. When you terminate your script or call stop() MongoDB server(s) will be automatically shutdown.
Perfectly works with Travis CI without additional services and addons options in .travis.yml.
yarn add mongodb-memory-server --dev
OR
npm install mongodb-memory-server --save-dev
import MongoMemoryServer from 'mongodb-memory-server';
const mongod = new MongoMemoryServer();
const uri = await mongod.getConnectionString();
const port = await mongod.getPort();
const dbPath = await mongod.getDbPath();
const dbName = await mongod.getDbName();
// some code
// you may stop mongod manually
mongod.stop();
// or it will be stopped automatically when you exit from scriptAll options are optional.
const mongod = new MongoMemoryServer({
instance: {

const opts = { useMongoClient: true }; // remove this option if you use mongoose 5 and above
const conn = mongoose.createConnection(); // just create connection instance
const User = conn.model('User', new mongoose.Schema({ name: String })); // define model
conn.open(uri, opts); // open connection to database (NOT `connect` method!)With default connection:
import mongoose from 'mongoose';
const opts = { useMongoClient: true }; // remove this option if you use mongoose 5 and above
mongoose.connect(uri, opts);
const User = mongoose.model('User', new mongoose.Schema({ name: String })); // define modelStart Mocha with --timeout 60000 cause first download of MongoDB binaries may take a time.

It is very important to limit spawned number of Jest workers for avoiding race condition. Cause Jest spawn huge amount of workers for every node environment on same machine. More details
Use --maxWorkers 4 or --runInBand option.
