NAME

MongoX - DSL sugar for MongoDB

VERSION

version 0.05

SYNOPSIS


            

              
              
# quick bootstrap, add connection and switch to db:'test'
use MongoX ( host => 'mongodb://127.0.0.1',db => 'test' );
# common way
use MongoX;
#register default connection;
add_connection host => '127.0.0.1';
# switch to default connection;
use_connection;
# use database 'test'
use_db 'test';
#add/register another connection with id "remote2"
add_connection host => '192.168.1.1',id => 'remote2';
# switch to this connection
use_connection 'remote2';
#get a collection object (from the db in current context)
my $foo = get_collection 'foo';
# use 'foo' as default context collection
use_collection 'foo';
# use context's db/collection
say 'total rows:',context_collection->count();
my $id = context_collection->insert({ name => 'Pan', home => 'Beijing' });
my $gridfs = context_db->get_gridfs;
# loop dbs/collections
for_dbs{
    for_collections {
        db_ensure_index {created_on => 1};
    } context_db->collection_names;
} 'db1','db2';

DESCRIPTION

MongoX is a light wrapper to MongoDB driver, it provide a very simple but handy DSL syntax. It also will provide some usefull helpers like builtin mongoshell, you can quick work with MongoDB.

OVERVIEW

MongoX takes a set of options for the class construction at compile time as a HASH parameter to the "use" line.

As a convenience, you can pass the default connection parameters and default database, then when MongoX import, it will apply these options to "add_connection" and "use_db", so the following code:


            

              
              
use MongoX ( host => 'mongodb://127.0.0.1',db => 'test' );

is equivalent to:


            

              
              
use MongoX;
add_connection host => 'mongodb://127.0.0.1';
use_connection;
use_db 'test';

context_connection,context_db, context_collection are implicit MongoDB::Connection, MongoDB::Database and MongoDB::Collection.

Options

host => mongodb server, mongodb connection scheme
db => default database
utf8 => Turn on/off UTF8 flag. default is turn on utf8 flag.

DSL keywords

use_connection
use_db
use_collection
with_context

use_* keywords can make/switch implicit MongoDB object in context.

with_context allow build a sanbox to execute code block and do something, the context be restored when out the block.

for_connections
for_dbs
for_collections

These are loop keywords, it will switch related context object in the given list and loop run the code block.

ATTRIBUTES

context_db


            

              
              
my $db = context_db;

Return current MongoDB::Database object in context;

context_connection


            

              
              
my $con = context_connection;

Return current MongoDB::Connection object in context.

context_collection


            

              
              
my $col = context_collection;

Return current MongoDB::Collection object in context, you can replace the object with "use_collection".

METHODS

use_connection


            

              
              
# create a default connection
use_connection;
# use another connection with id:'con2'
use_connection 'con2';

Switch to given connection, set the context connection to this connection.

use_db


            

              
              
use_db 'foo';

Switch to the database, set the context database to this database;

use_collection


            

              
              
use_collection 'user'

Set 'user' collection as context collection.

add_connection


            

              
              
add_connection id => 'default', host => 'mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017'

Register a connnection with the id, if omit, will add as default connection. All options exclude 'id' will direct pass to MongoDB::Connection. The host accept standard mongoDB uri scheme:

mongodb://[username:password@]host1[:port1][,host2[:port2],...[,hostN[:portN]]][/database]

More about, see http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Connections.

boot


            

              
              
boot host => 'mongodb://127.0.0.1',db => 'test'
# same as:
add_connection host => 'mongodb://127.0.0.1', id => 'default';
use_connection;
use_db 'test';

Boot is equivalent to call add_connection,use_connection,use_db.

with_context BLOCK db => 'dbname', connection => 'connection_id', collection => 'foo'


            

              
              
# sandbox
use_db 'test';
with_context {
    use_db 'tmp_db';
    # now context db is 'tmp_db'
    ...
};
# context db auto restor to 'test'
# temp context
with_context {
    context_collection->do_something;
} connection => 'id2', db => 'test2', 'collection' => 'user';
# alternate style
my $db2 = context_connection->get_database('test2');
with_context {
    # context db is $db2,collection is 'foo'
    print context_collection->count;
} db => $db2, 'collection' => 'foo';

with_context let you create a temporary context(sandbox) to invoke the code block. Before execute the code block, current context will be saved, them build a temporary context to invoke the code, after code executed, saved context will be restored.

You can explicit setup the sandbox context include connection,db,collection, or just applied from parent container(context).

with_context allow nested, any with_context will build its context sanbox to run the attached code block.


            

              
              
use_db 'test';
with_context {
    # context db is 'db1'
    with_context {
        # context db is 'db2'
    } db => 'db2';
    # context db restore to 'db1'
} db => 'db1';
# context db restore to 'test'

with_context options key:

connection => connection id or MongoDB::Connection
db => database name or MongoDB::Database
collection => collection name or MongoDB::Collection

for_dbs BLOCK, database List


            

              
              
for_dbs {
    print context_db->name;
} 'test1','test2','test3;
for_dbs {
    print context_db->name;
} context_connection->database_names;

Evaluates the code BLOCK for each database of the list. In block scope, context_db will switch to the list value, and $_ is alias of this context_db value.

for_connections BLOCK connection_id_list


            

              
              
for_connections {
    for_dbs { map { print $_ } context_db->collection_names } $_->database_names;
} 'con_id1', 'con_id2'

Evaluates the code BLOCK against each connection of connection id list. In block scope, context_connection will switch to the list value, and $_ is alais of the current context_connection.

for_collections BLOCK collection_list


            

              
              
# print out all collection's count in the db
for_collections {
    say $_->name, ' count:', db_count;
} context_db->collection_names;
# reindex some collections
for_collections { db_re_index } 'foo','foo2','foo3';
# alternate
for_collections { db_re_index } qw(foo foo2 foo3);
# alternate
for_collections { db_re_index } ('foo','foo2','foo3');
