MongoX

This is a fork of https://github.com/ericmj/mongodb with full replica set support. We're current using it in production environment, so we need to evolve it regardless of the original project.

Features

• Full Replica Set Support
• Supports MongoDB versions 2.4, 2.6, 3.0, 3.2
• Connection pooling
• Streaming cursors
• Performant ObjectID generation
• Follows driver specification set by 10gen
• Safe (by default) and unsafe writes
• Aggregation pipeline

Immediate Roadmap

• Add timeouts for all calls
• Bang and non-bang Mongo functions
• Move BSON encoding to client process
  • Make sure requests don't go over the 16mb limit
• Replica sets
  • Block in client (and timeout) when waiting for new primary selection
• New 2.6 write queries and bulk writes
• Reconnect backoffs with https://github.com/ferd/backoff
• Lazy connect ? Drop save_* because it was dropped by driver specs

Tentative Roadmap

• SSL
• Use meta-driver test suite
• Server selection / Read preference
  • https://www.mongodb.com/blog/post/server-selection-next-generation-mongodb-drivers
  • http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/read-preference

Data representation

BSON                Elixir
----------          ------
double              0.0
string              "Elixir"
document            [{"key", "value"}] | %{"key" => "value"} *
binary              %BSON.Binary{binary: <<42, 43>>, subtype: :generic}
object id           %BSON.ObjectId{value: <<...>>}
boolean             true | false
UTC datetime        %BSON.DateTime{utc: ...}
null                nil
regex               %BSON.Regex{pattern: "..."}
JavaScript          %BSON.JavaScript{code: "..."}
integer             42
symbol              "foo" **
min key             :BSON_min
max key             :BSON_max

• Since BSON documents are ordered Elixir maps cannot be used to fully represent them. This driver chose to accept both maps and lists of key-value pairs when encoding but will only decode documents to lists. This has the side-effect that it's impossible to discern empty arrays from empty documents. Additionally the driver will accept both atoms and strings for document keys but will only decode to strings.

** BSON symbols can only be decoded.

Usage

Connection Pools

defmodule MongoPool do
  use Mongo.Pool, name: __MODULE__, adapter: Mongo.Pool.Poolboy
end

# Starts the pool named MongoPool
{:ok, _} = MongoPool.start_link(database: "test")

# Gets an enumerable cursor for the results
cursor = Mongo.find(MongoPool, "test-collection", %{})

Enum.to_list(cursor)
|> IO.inspect

Examples

Mongo.find(MongoPool, "test-collection", %{}, limit: 20)
Mongo.find(MongoPool, "test-collection", %{"field" => %{"$gt" => 0}}, limit: 20, sort: %{"field" => 1})

Mongo.insert_one(MongoPool, "test-collection", %{"field" => 10})

Mongo.insert_many(MongoPool, "test-collection", [%{"field" => 10}, %{"field" => 20}])

Mongo.delete_one(MongoPool, "test-collection", %{"field" => 10})

Mongo.delete_many(MongoPool, "test-collection", %{"field" => 10})
