MongoModel

==========

MongoModel is a Ruby ORM for interfacing with [MongoDB](http://www.mongodb.org/) databases.

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/spohlenz/mongomodel.png?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/spohlenz/mongomodel)

Installation

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

MongoModel is distributed as a gem. Install with:

    gem install mongomodel

For performance, you should probably also install the BSON C extensions:

    gem install bson_ext

Using with Rails

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

Add MongoModel to your Gemfile (and run `bundle install`):

    gem 'mongomodel'

Create the configuration file `config/mongomodel.yml`:

    rails generate mongo_model:config DATABASENAME

Generating a model/document:

    rails generate model Article title:string body:string published_at:time approved:boolean 

Generating an embedded document:

    rails generate model Chapter title:string body:string -E

Sample Model

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

    class Article < MongoModel::Document

      property :title, String, :default => 'Untitled'

      property :body, String

      property :published_at, Time, :protected => true

      property :approved, Boolean, :default => false, :protected => true

      

      timestamps!

      

      validates_presence_of :title, :body

      

      belongs_to :author, :class => User

      

      scope :published, where(:published_at.ne => nil)

    end

    

Configuration

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

MongoModel can be configured similarly to ActiveRecord by creating/editing `config/mongomodel.yml`. The most basic configuration might look like:

```yaml

development:

  database: mymongodbname

  host: localhost

  port: 27017

```

The config file also supports specifying the username, password, pool_size, password and replicas. Running `rails generate mongo_model:config DATABASENAME` will generate a basic config file for you.

Using Replica Sets

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

When working with replica sets, replace the host/port configuration with an array of replicas (`host:port`):

```yaml

production:

  database: database_name

  replicas:

    - some.host.com:27017

    - another.host.com:27017

  username: username

  password: password

```
