MongoDB Storage (/db/ Route)

Optional MongoDB-backed route for JSON-LD documents that need scale (social feeds, posts, follows). All other routes continue using the filesystem unchanged.

# Install the optional MongoDB driver
npm install mongodb

# Start with MongoDB enabled
jss start --mongo --mongo-url mongodb://localhost:27017 --mongo-database solid

Operations

# Store a document
curl -X PUT http://localhost:3000/db/alice/notes/1 \
  -H "Content-Type: application/ld+json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>" \
  -d '{"@context": "https://schema.org/", "@type": "Note", "text": "Hello"}'

# Read it back
curl http://localhost:3000/db/alice/notes/1

# List container (derived from URI prefixes)
curl http://localhost:3000/db/alice/

# Delete
curl -X DELETE http://localhost:3000/db/alice/notes/1 \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>"

How It Works

• GET /db/:path — retrieve a document by URI, or list a virtual container
• PUT /db/:path — create or update (upsert) a JSON-LD document
• DELETE /db/:path — remove a document
• Returns standard LDP headers (Link, ETag, WAC-Allow, CORS)
• Supports conditional requests (If-Match, If-None-Match)
• Container listings are computed from URI prefix queries — no directory management needed
• Auth: pod owner can write (/db/{podName}/...), reads are public
• MongoDB is an optional dependency — the server runs without it
