=========

:Info: Minimal database Model management for MongoDB.

:Author: Steve Lacy ([email protected])

About

-----

``minimongo`` is a lightweight, schemaless, Pythonic Object-Oriented

interface to MongoDB.

It provides a very thin, dynamicly typed (schema-less) object management

layer for any data stored in any MongoDB collection. ``minimongo`` directly

calls the existing pymongo_ query syntax.

``minimongo`` can easily layer on top of existing MongoDB collections, and

will work properly with almost any existing schema, even from third party

applications.

Installation

------------

If you have `setuptools `_

you can use ``easy_install -U minimongo``. Otherwise, you can download the

source from `GitHub `_ and run ``python

setup.py install``.

Dependencies

============

- pymongo_ 1.9+

- `sphinx `_ (optional -- for documentation generation)

Example

-------

Here's a very brief example of creating an object, querying for it, modifying

a field, and then saving it back again:

.. code:: python

    from minimongo import Model, Index

    class Foo(Model):

        class Meta:

            # Here, we specify the database and collection names.

            # A connection to your DB is automatically created.

            database = "minimongo"

            collection = "rocks"

            # Now, we programatically declare what indices we want.

            # The arguments to the Index constructor are identical to

            # the args to pymongo"s ensure_index function.

            indices = (

                Index("a"),

            )

    if __name__ == "__main__":

        # Create & save an object, and return a local in-memory copy of it:

        foo = Foo({"x": 1, "y": 2}).save()

        # Find that object again, loading it into memory:

        foo = Foo.collection.find_one({"x": 1})

        # Change a field value, and save it back to the DB.

        foo.other = "some data"

        foo.save()

Feedback welcome!
