# MongoDB Setup for Broccolini Bot ## Overview Broccolini Bot uses **MongoDB only** for persistent storage (tickets, transcripts, counters, tags, close requests). Run all commands from the repo root; create `.env` there (copy from `.env.example`) and set `MONGODB_URI`. For test runs, use `.env.test` (copy from `.env.test.example`) and `npm run test-mongodb:test`; see [ENV_AND_SECURITY.md](./ENV_AND_SECURITY.md). ## Files 1. **`db-connection.js`** - MongoDB connection module with reconnection logic 2. **`models.js`** - Mongoose schemas including: - `Ticket` - Stores ticket information - `TicketCounter` - Tracks ticket numbers per sender - `Transcript` - Stores transcript message references 3. **`scripts/test-mongodb.js`** - Connection test script (run via `npm run test-mongodb`; use `npm run test-mongodb:test` with `.env.test`) ## Configuration ### 1. Environment Variable Add to your `.env` file: ```env MONGODB_URI=mongodb://localhost:27018/broccolini_bot ``` **Note:** Uses port `27018` to match your existing setup (as defined in docker-compose.yml). ### 2. Install Dependencies ```bash npm install ``` This will install `mongoose@^6.12.0`. ## Usage in Your Code ### Basic Connection ```javascript const { connectMongoDB, closeMongoDB, mongoose } = require('./db-connection'); // In your Discord client.once('ready', ...) event: await connectMongoDB(process.env.MONGODB_URI); console.log('Connected to MongoDB'); // Get models: const Ticket = mongoose.model('Ticket'); const TicketCounter = mongoose.model('TicketCounter'); const Transcript = mongoose.model('Transcript'); ``` ## Schema Reference ### Ticket Schema ```javascript { gmail_thread_id: String (required, unique, indexed), discord_thread_id: String, broccolini_ticket_id: Number, sender_email: String (required), subject: String, created_at: Date (default: now), status: String (enum: ['open', 'closed'], default: 'open'), claimed_by: String (Discord user ID), escalated: Boolean (default: false), ticket_number: Number, rename_count: Number (default: 0), rename_window_start: Date } ``` ### TicketCounter Schema ```javascript { sender_local: String (required, unique), counter: Number (default: 1) } ``` ### Transcript Schema ```javascript { gmail_thread_id: String (required), transcript_message_id: String, created_at: Date (default: now) } ``` ## Testing the Connection From the repo root, run: ```bash npm run test-mongodb ``` Expected output: ``` Pinged your deployment. You successfully connected to MongoDB! ``` ## Graceful Shutdown Add this to your main file for clean shutdown: ```javascript process.on('SIGTERM', async () => { console.log('SIGTERM received, closing connections...'); await closeMongoDB(); await client.destroy(); // Discord client process.exit(0); }); process.on('SIGINT', async () => { console.log('SIGINT received, closing connections...'); await closeMongoDB(); await client.destroy(); process.exit(0); }); ``` ## Connection Features - **Auto-reconnection**: If MongoDB connection drops, Mongoose will automatically attempt to reconnect - **Connection events**: Logs when connected, disconnected, and reconnected - **Error handling**: Graceful error messages with stack traces - **Timeouts**: Configured with reasonable defaults (5s server selection, 45s socket timeout) ## Next Steps 1. Review the schemas in `models.js` 2. Test the connection with `npm run test-mongodb` 3. Start the bot with `npm start` (uses MongoDB throughout) 4. Monitor MongoDB connection in production logs ## Troubleshooting ### Connection refused - Check MongoDB is running: `docker ps` or `systemctl status mongodb` - Verify port 27018 is correct in `.env` - Check MongoDB logs for errors ### Authentication failed - If MongoDB requires auth, update URI: `mongodb://username:password@localhost:27018/broccolini_bot` ### Schema validation errors - Check required fields are provided when creating documents - Ensure `status` is either 'open' or 'closed' (enum validation)
