MongoDB plugin

Add to docpad.coffee

# Define the DocPad Configuration
docpadConfig = {

	[...]

	plugins:

		mongo:
			hostname: 'mongodb://...:...@troup.mongohq.com:10044/'
			# hostname: 'mongodb://localhost/'
			user: ...
			pass: ...
			database: 'app22118608'		
			collection: 'gigs',
			customSchema:
				town: String,
				date: { type: Date, default: Date.now },
				location: String,
				link: String		
			queryArr: [
				name: "futuregigs"
				predicate: {"date": {$gte: new Date()}}
			,
				name: "pastgigs"
				predicate: {"date": {$lt: new Date()}}
			]
}

# Export the DocPad Configuration
module.exports = docpadConfig

Example of usage in eco file, note the extra hidden input element that tells the server which predicate to use to rewrite all the content of (it will delete everything matching the predicate first and then insert the data sent from the client).

<% zero_pad = (x) -> if x < 10 then '0'+x else ''+x %>
<input type='hidden' id='queryName' value='futuregigs'>
<% if @gigs.length: %>
	<% for gig in @futuregigs: %>
		<% mString = gig.date.getFullYear() %>
		<% mString += "-"+ zero_pad (gig.date.getMonth() + 1) %>
		<% mString += "-"+ zero_pad gig.date.getDate() %>
		<div class="gig-entry">
			<input type="hidden" name="_id" value="<%= gig._id %>">
			<input type="date" name="date" width="20" value="<%- mString %>">
			<input type="textarea" name="location" value="<%= gig.location %>">
			<input type="textarea" name="town" value="<%= gig.town %>">
			<input type="textarea" name="link" value="<%= gig.link %>">
		</div>
	<% end %>
<% end %>
