djongo-itday 1.3.4

Driver for allowing Django to use MongoDB as the database backend.

Use Mongodb as a backend database for your django project, without changing a single django model!

Usage

1. Install djongo:

   pip install djongo

2. Into settings.py file of your project, add:

   DATABASES = {
        'default': {
            'ENGINE': 'djongo',
            'NAME': 'your-db-name',
        }
    }

3. Run (ONLY the first time to create collections in mongoDB):

   manage.py makemigrations
   manage.py migrate

YOUR ARE SET! HAVE FUN!

Requirements

1. Djongo requires python 3.6 or above.

How it works

Djongo is a SQL to mongodb query transpiler. It translates a SQL query string into a mongoDB query document. As a result, all Django features, models etc work as is.

Django contrib modules:

'django.contrib.admin',
'django.contrib.auth',
'django.contrib.sessions',

and others… fully supported.
