crgwbr/mongo_orm

A light & simple Python ORM for MongoDB based on Django's default object mapper. Warning: This is a work is progress and has not been extensively tested.

#README

mongo_orm is a simple, lightweight object relation mapper for MongoDB, based on Django's default ORM. It's goal is to provide a super easy way to start using MongoDB in any Python project. This project is NOT recommended for use yet; saying its half-baked is an overstatement. It will get better with time :)

#Getting Started

A functioning example is found in test.py. These are the basic steps to get mongo_orm working in your project.

1. Define you database settings in db_settings.py

2. Define you models in any file by importing models.py and creating Objects like the one found in test.py. Mainly, this means creating an object with a 'fields' method, containing all the data fields you'd like to save.

#Usage

If we have a model class named 'TestModel':

# Create a new object and give it some data
test = TestModel()
test.normal_string = "Hello."
test.normal_int = 100

# Save the object to Mongo
test.save()

# Fetch the object we just saved
print str(TestModel.objects().get(_id=test.uid))

# List everything in the TestModel collection 
for item in TestModel.objects().all():
    print str(item)
