djmongo

djmongo is yet another mongodb adapter for Django. This one however, is build directly on pymongo, tries to be as small and simple as possible and mimics Django's ORM (managers/querysets).

djmongo supports Django >= 1.3.

Installation

To install djmongo simply run:

pip install djmongo

Configuration

djmongo provides database engine so configuration is rather straight-forward:

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3',
        'NAME': 'database.sqlite',
        'TEST_NAME': ':memory:',
    },

    'mongodb': {
        'ENGINE': 'djmongo.backend.mongodb',
        'NAME': 'testdb',
    }
}

In above example we added mongodb aliased connection to local mongodb server.

In your settings you should also provide MONGODB_COLLECTIONS_PREFIX value. By default documents would use it as a prefix for all collections. In example following docuemnt:

class Item(Document):
    pass

with MONGODB_COLLECTIONS_PREFIX set to develop. would have collection name equal to develop.item.

If you want to override default collection name you should always remember to use that prefix from settings (only collections with that prefix are dropped during test run).

Usage

Create a document:

from djmongo.document import Document
from django.conf import settings

class MyDocument(Document):

    class Meta:
        using = 'mongodb'

doc1 = MyDocument.objects.create(data={'foo': 'bar'})
doc2 = MyDocument.objects.create(data={'foo': 'baz'})

...

Testing

In order to properly test an application, one would like to destroy all objects inserted during test run between test cases. Normally, Django does that using transactions, however we need to destroy objects manually. One can do that at tearDown method using connection's extra method called clear_all_collections. Alternatively, one can use subclass of Django's django.test.TestCase: djmongo.test.TestCase.

Development

We use github for development of this package (repository, issue tracker). We also use tox for package testing against - if one would like to run whole test suite against all supported Django versions, simply clone repository and run tox command within it (pip install tox if it's missing).
