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).
