mongodol

Access MongoDB through a Mapping (dict-like) interface.

mongodol wraps pymongo collections as Mapping/MutableMapping objects (readers and persisters), so you can read and write mongo data with normal dict-like syntax, and compose your own key/value transforms with dol wrappers instead of writing backend-specific boilerplate.

To install:

pip install mongodol

And of course, you need a running MongoDB -- see the installation instructions.

For AI agents

mongodol publishes its documentation in forms made for coding agents. If you are one, start here.

The documentation, machine-readable: llms.txt indexes every page; mongodol.md is the whole documentation in one file; every page has a .md twin; objects.inv maps symbols to URLs.

If you are a control freak, the rest of this README is written for you, starting at Quick start.

Quick start

from mongodol import MongoCollectionPersister, mk_dflt_mgc

# mk_dflt_mgc() gives you a pymongo collection to play with (mongodol/mongodol_test by default)
mgc = mk_dflt_mgc()
mgc.delete_many(
    {}
)  # start from an empty collection (skip this to keep what's already there)
s = MongoCollectionPersister(mgc, getitem_projection={"_id": False})

len(s)
# 0

k = {"_id": "my_id"}
s[k] = {"mongo": "uses", "json": "data"}
list(s)
# [{'_id': 'my_id'}]

Since the base reader is a thin, low-level wrapper, s[k] returns a pymongo.cursor.Cursor (a key may match zero, one, or many docs), so you fetch the value(s) explicitly:

next(s[k])
# {'mongo': 'uses', 'json': 'data'}

del s[k]
len(s)
# 0

Beyond the base classes

The base MongoCollectionReader/MongoCollectionPersister classes always return cursors and never validate uniqueness. For the common case of "one key maps to one doc", use one of the *UniqueDoc*/*FirstDoc* reader and persister classes instead:

from mongodol import MongoCollectionUniqueDocReader

MongoCollectionUniqueDocReader gives you s[k] as a plain dict (not a cursor), and raises KeyNotUniqueError if more than one doc matches k. See its docstring for a runnable example.

For custom key/value shapes, business logic, or connecting mongodol stores to the rest of the dol ecosystem (caching, serialization, key transforms, etc.), wrap a mongodol store with dol.wrap_kvs like you would any other dol store.
