##Quad (author: Lukasz Mokrzycki) ####'Qestions & Answers' example Django web application, that uses Mongo database.
I used mongoengine in order to connect with mongo database, to achive that documents models should be placed in init file (application directory) not it the models.py, connection to database starts also in init (quad directory).
It also provides uploading and storing files in GridFS.
Dependencies:
- working mongo instance (install mongodb and run mongod proccess)
- pymongo
- mongoengine
- django (i used django 1.4 version)
Setup how-to:
pip install pymongo
pip install mongoengine
pip install django
git clone git://github.com/mokrzu/Quad.git
cd quad
vim quad/settings.py
# edit TEMPLATE_DIRS for your path
python manage.py runserver
Now open browser at: http://127.0.0.1:8000/
Example interaction with database (from python shell in project dir):
If you don't know database name, simply use mongo shell (mongo command),
use show dbs to print all databases names, from here you could also test application
for example: use use quad_db and next db.author.find() to print all Authors documents.
# connect to mongo database
>>> from mongoengine import *
>>> connect('quad_db')
Database(Connection('localhost', 27017), u'quad_db')
>>> from app import *
# print all question titles
>>> for question in Question.objects:
... print question.title
...
hello?
Who's there ?
How add mongo to django?
Awesome question?!
# add new question
>>> q = Question()
>>> q.title = "How to save that?"
>>> a = Author(name="me", email="me@example.com")
>>> a.save()
>>> q.content = "......."
>>> q.tags = ["short", "examples"]
>>> q.save()
>>> Question.objects(title="How to save that?")[0].content
u'.......'
# delete question
>>> Question.objects(title="How to save that?")[0].delete()
>>> Question.objects(title="How to save that?")
