[plugin] MongoDB Atlas

[DavidWells]

Create a Netlify build plugin that allows users to provision MongoDB atlas databases for a site.

The user will need to supply their mongo API key from atlas.

The first time it runs, it will create a database instance

Example config:

plugins:
  - mongo:
       databaseName: 'xyz'
       MONGO_API_KEY: ${env:mongokey}
       ...

see this is where i get confused between addons and plugins.

easy to say "anything goes" but once you let people do this you will have confusion between them for ever.

[DavidWells]

Yeah maybe these types of plugins will run on a provisioning step.

They might expose functions like:

function mongoPlugin(conf) {
  return {
    create: ({ netlifyConfig }) => {
      console.log('idempotent create')
    },
    update: () => {
      console.log('update if inputs have changed')
    },
    delete: () => {
      console.log('delete when site deleted')
    }
  }
}

Figuring it out as we go

[DavidWells]

For right now we can use the lifecycle in place.

function mongoPlugin(conf) {
  return {
    init: () => {
      // create idempotent mongoDB instance
    },
  }
}

TODO look into the mongoDB complexity

Also outputs.
