## The only connector that lets you use Django with MongoDB *without* changing the Django ORM

Use MongoDB as a backend database for your Django project, without changing the Django ORM.
Use the Django Admin GUI to add and modify documents in MongoDB.

## Usage:


  1. Install djongo:

    ```
    pip install djongo
    ```


  2. Into settings.py file of your project, add:

    ```python
    DATABASES = {
    'default': {
    'ENGINE': 'djongo',
    'NAME': 'your-db-name',
    'CLIENT': {
    'host': 'your-db-host',
    }
    }
    }
    ```


  3. Run manage.py makemigrations &ltapp_name&gt followed by manage.py migrate (ONLY the first time to create collections in mongoDB)

  4. YOUR ARE SET! HAVE FUN!

## Requirements:

1. Python 3.6 or higher.
2. MongoDB 3.4 or higher.
3. If your models use nested queries or sub querysets like:

```python
inner_qs = Blog.objects.filter(name__contains='Ch').values('name')
entries = Entry.objects.filter(blog__name__in=inner_qs)
```
MongoDB 3.6 or higher is required.

## How it works

djongo is a SQL to mongodb query compiler. It translates a SQL query string into a mongoDB query document.
As a result, all Django features, models etc. work as is.

Django contrib modules:

  

'django.contrib.admin',
'django.contrib.auth',
'django.contrib.sessions',


and others... fully supported.

## Features

* Use Django Admin GUI to access MongoDB.
* Embedded Model.
* Embedded Array.
* Embedded Form Fields.
