transom-atlas-accesslist

Auto add the node server's IP address to Atlas MongoDB using the Atlas Administration API.

Include this plugin near the top of your TransomJS server statup so that the IP address is added before the server tries to connect to MongoDB.

transom.configure(transomAtlasAccesslist);

transom.configure(transomMongoose, {
    mongodbUri: process.env.MONGO
});

Transom API definition

The definition file entry for the Atlass plugin should be populated using environment variables so that these keys don't end up in source control.

If atlas.name is not provided the plugin will create one using the name at the root of the API object.

{
  name: "My Transom App",
  definition: {
        atlas: {
            publicKey: process.env.ATLAS_PUBLIC_KEY,
            privateKey: process.env.ATLAS_PRIVATE_KEY,
            projectId: process.env.ATLAS_PROJECT_ID,
            // Use an APP-ID or HOSTNAME in the name to prevent getting remove by a second instance!
            // name: process.env.ATLAS_NAME + `(${process.env.NODE_ENV})`,
        }
  }
}

ATLAS_PUBLIC_KEY and ATLAS_PUBLIC_KEY are keys provided for the Organization in the Atlas dashboard. Create a new pair of keys by going to Organization > Access Manager > API Keys (button, top right).

ATLAS_PROJECT_ID can be found under Organization > Projects > Copy Project ID (actions menu)
