This project is a fork from doableware/djongo

This documentation is a work in progress based on the base repo.

The second connector that lets you use Django with MongoDB without changing the Django ORM

Use MongoDB as a backend database for your Django project, without changing the Django ORM. Use the Django Admin GUI to add and modify documents in MongoDB.

Usage:

1. Install dj-mongo-backend:

   pip install dj-mongo-backend
   

2. Into settings.py file of your project, add:

   DATABASES = {
       'default': {
           'ENGINE': 'djongo',
           'NAME': 'your-db-name',
           'CLIENT': {
              'host': 'your-db-host',
           }
       }
   }

3. Run manage.py makemigrations <app_name> followed by manage.py migrate (ONLY the first time to create collections in mongoDB)
4. YOUR ARE SET! HAVE FUN!

Requirements:

1. Python 3.6 or higher.

2. MongoDB 3.4 or higher.

3. If your models use nested queries or sub querysets like:

   inner_qs = Blog.objects.filter(name__contains='Ch').values('name')
   entries = Entry.objects.filter(blog__name__in=inner_qs)

   MongoDB 3.6 or higher is required.

How it works

djongo is a SQL to mongodb query compiler. It translates a SQL query string into a mongoDB query document. As a result, all Django features, models etc. work as is.

Django contrib modules:

  
'django.contrib.admin',
'django.contrib.auth',    
'django.contrib.sessions',

and others... fully supported.

Features

• Use Django Admin GUI to access MongoDB.
• Embedded Model.
• Embedded Array.
• Embedded Form Fields.
