Mobile Database
Lite version of MongoDB formed into a library
• C ABI
• Auth, Replication, Sharding, etc. removed
• Supports only the mobile storage engine
• Passive: no background threads
• Light: disk, memory, energy
C Interface
• Low level
• Drivers are extended to invoke it
Availability
• Builds out of MongoDB 4.0+ community tree
• Pre-built binary packages for mobile targets
lib = mongo_embedded_v1_lib_init (&params, status);
instance = mongo_embedded_v1_instance_create (lib,
params.yaml_config, status);
client = mongoc_embedded_v1_client_create (instance);
collection = mongoc_client_get_collection (client,
"iot_test", "sensor_data");
insert = bson_new ();
BSON_APPEND_UTF8 (insert, "message", "Hey there!");
BSON_APPEND_UTF8 (insert, "from", "Matt Lord);
mongoc_collection_insert_one (collection, insert, NULL,
NULL, &error);
query = bson_new ();
cursor = mongoc_collection_find_with_opts (collection,
query, NULL, NULL);
while (mongoc_cursor_next(cursor, &doc)) {
str = bson_as_canonical_extended_json (doc, NULL);
printf ("%sn", str);

Mobile Storage Engine
Leverages SQLite as a K/V store
• Maintaining full MongoDB Query Language support
• Single SQLite database called “mobile”
• Table names follow the WiredTiger filesystem / dictionary
naming convention
• Every entity you create
• database, collection, index, …
Can be tested with standard MongoDB

Stitch Mobile Sync
Example Setup
Steps for Sync
1. Define Sync + Conflict Handlers on a collection
2. Add Documents to be synced
3. Application manages local documents
4. Stitch then syncs state with the backend automatically
• Bi-directional synchronization
// Initialize your application, then configure Synced
collections Stitch.initializeDefaultAppClient('<your-
app-id>').then(() => {
tripsColl.configureSync(trip_conflict,
trip_change, trip_error);
...
});
// Find all trips that should be synced and ensure
they’re synced
tripsColl.find({user:
stitch.getUserId()}).toArray().then(trips =>{
tripsColl.syncMany(trips)
});
...
tripsColl.sync().update({trip_id:currTripId},{meal_ch
oice: selectedMeal});
...

Stitch Mobile Sync
Example Usage
Stitch Syncs data when online on a per operation basis
Uses 3 client-side event responders
• ChangeListener
• ConflictHandler
• ErrorListener
Handlers receive all local/remote changes
// On changes to the remote document the trip_change
handler is called
function trip_change(changeEvent){
...
if(updatedFields.keys().includes(“Gate”)){
setStatusBarUpdate(“Gate Changed”, tripID,
gate);
}
...
}
// On a conflict, the trip_conflict handler is called
function trip_conflict(localDoc, remoteDoc){
newStatus = remoteDoc;
for(key in remoteDoc.keys()){
if(localDoc[key] != remoteDoc[key] &&
isLocalPreferred(key)){
newStatus[key] = localDoc[key]
}
}
// Returning a document from the handler will
attempt to write it
return newStatus;
};
