Example

Here’s a basic example of how to define some models and connect them to MongoDB:

from mongomodels import connect, fields, MongoModel, EmbeddedMongoModel


# Connect to MongoDB first. MongoModels supports all URI options supported by
# PyMongo. Make sure also to specify a database in the connection string:
connect('mongodb://localhost:27017/myApp')


# Now let's define some Models.
class User(MongoModel):
    # Use 'email' as the '_id' field in MongoDB.
    email = fields.EmailField(primary_key=True)
    fname = fields.CharField()
    lname = fields.CharField()


class BlogPost(MongoModel):
    # This field references the User model above.
    # It's stored as a bson.objectid.ObjectId in MongoDB.
    author = fields.ReferenceField(User)
    title = fields.CharField(max_length=100)
    content = fields.CharField()
    tags = fields.ListField(fields.StringField(max_length=20))
    # These Comment objects will be stored inside each Post document in the
    # database.
    comments = fields.EmbeddedDocumentListField('Comment')


# This is an "embedded" model and will be stored as a sub-document.
class Comment(EmbeddedMongoModel):
    author = fields.ReferenceField(User)
    body = fields.CharField()
    vote_score = fields.IntegerField(min_value=0)


# Start the blog.
# We need to save these objects before referencing them later.
han_solo = User('[e-mail]', 'Han', 'Solo').save()
chewbacca = User(
    '[e-mail]', 'Chewbacca', 'Thomas').save()


post = BlogPost(
    # Since this is a ReferenceField, we had to save han_solo first.
    author=han_solo,
    title="Five Crazy Health Foods Jabba Eats.",
    content="...",
    tags=['alien health', 'slideshow', 'jabba', 'huts'],
    comments=[
        Comment(author=chewbacca, body='Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!', vote_score=42)
    ]
).save()


# Find objects using familiar MongoDB-style syntax.
slideshows = BlogPost.objects.raw({'tags': 'slideshow'})

# Only retrieve the 'title' field.
slideshow_titles = slideshows.only('title')

# u'Five Crazy Health Foods Jabba Eats.'
print(slideshow_titles.first().title)
