django-mongonaut

Info:: An introspective interface for Django and MongoDB.
Version:: 0.2.17
Author:: Daniel Greenfeld (http://pydanny.com)

About

django-mongonaut is an introspective interface for working with MongoDB via mongoengine. Rather then attempt to staple this functionality into Django’s Admin interface, django-mongonaut takes the approach of rolling a new framework from scratch.

By writing it from scratch I get to avoid trying to staple ORM functionality on top of MongoDB, a NoSQL key/value binary-tree store.

Features

Automatic introspection of mongoengine documents.
Ability to constrain who sees what and can do what.
Full control to add, edit, and delete documents
More awesome stuff! See http://django-mongonaut.readthedocs.org/en/latest/index.html#features

Installation

Made as easy as possible, setup is actually easier than django.contrib.admin. Furthermore, the only dependencies are mongoengine and pymongo. Eventually django-mongonaut will be able to support installations without mongoengine.

Get MongoDB:

Download the right version per http://www.mongodb.org/downloads

Get mongoengine (and pymongo):

pip install mongoengine==0.6.2

Get the code:

pip install django-mongonaut==0.2.17

Install the dependency in your settings.py:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
...
'mongonaut',
...
)

You will need the following also set up:

django.contrib.sessions
django.contrib.messages

Add the mongonaut urls.py file to your urlconf file:

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    ...
    (r'^mongonaut/', include('mongonaut.urls')),
    ...
)

Configuration

django-mongonaut will let you duplicate much of what django.contrib.admin gives you, but in a way more suited for MongoDB. Still being implemented, but already works better than any other MongoDB solution for Django. A simple example:

# myapp/mongoadmin.py

# Import the MongoAdmin base class
from mongonaut.sites import MongoAdmin

# Import your custom models
from blog.models import Post

# Instantiate the MongoAdmin class
# Then attach the mongoadmin to your model
Post.mongoadmin = MongoAdmin()
