  1. Documentation
  2. Change Log

This extension is a basic active record for MongoDb. I've used it in my project at This http://rserve.me I have not fully tested it yet but so far it's work like I expected. I share it to you all so you can use it as reference or fix it if it has bugs.

Documentation

Requirements
  • Tested with Yii 1.1.2
Installation
  • Extract the release file under protected/components
  • Insert the code below in your config file inside components sections
'mongodb'=>array(
                    'class'=>'MongoDbConnection',
                    'db'=>'rserve'
                ),
Usage

See the following code example, this is an ActiveRecord example for Venue Collection:

/**
 * Venue model used for interacting with venue collections in mongodb
 *
 * @author yohan
 */

class Venue extends MongoRecord
{
/**
 * Default document to store inside a record
 */
    protected $_document=array(
        'merchant_id'=>'','name'=>'','desc'=>''
    );
/**
 * Return collection or table name 
 */
    protected function  getCollectionName()
    {
        return 'venue';
    }
    
    public static function model($className=__CLASS__)
    {
      return parent::model($className);
    }
    public function rules()
    {
        return array();
    }

    public function attributeNames()
    {
        return array();
    }
    
    


}

This component was extended from CModel component, just like CActiveRecord component. And it's borrow many method from CActiveRecord. So basically you can use it just like you use CActiveRecord.

the $this->_document property is a default document that will store in MongoDb document. It just like table structure in conventional DB. Because it's like CActiveRecord, you can access and modify the your $_document record just like using class property. For example to insert new record;

$venue=new Venue;
$venue->merchant_id=1;
$venue->save(FALSE); //disable validation

You can post your question on http://www.yiiframework.com/forum/index.php?/topic/11887-mongorecord-extensions/.

To find records, you can use this both method that similar with CActiveRecord methods

$query=array('_id=>new MongoId('4c8377a88ead0ec468000000'));
ModelName::model()->find($query);

this method will return MongoRecord instance

$query=array('merchant_id'=>1,'');
ModelName::model()->findAll($query);

This method will return an array that contains MongoRecord instance

The $query is the same query that used in MongoRecord criteria query in PHP MongoDb query function. You can read how to write the criteria query on

http://www.php.net/manual/en/mongo.queries.php

Note

I haven't implement ensure index function because I still confuse where is the best way to ensure the index of document. I though if I do it every time we call find() and findAll() method it will decrease it's performance. May be we need to call it manually to set the index in collection.
