A MongoDB driver for HaXe

MongoDB driver for Haxe

This is a database driver for MongoDB written in Haxe and available for all targets allowing a socket connection (neko/php/cpp).

Find all objects in a collection

Finding rows in a relational database can be a daunting process. Thankfully with Mongo it's just like accessing a regular Haxe object instance.

import org.mongodb.Mongo;

class Main
{
	public static function main()
	{
		var mongo = new Mongo();       // connects to MongoDB
		var posts = mongo.blog.posts;  // get the "blog.posts" collection

		// loops through all objects in "test.posts"
		for (post in posts.find())
		{
			trace(post.title); // assumes that all posts have a title
		}
	}
}

Inserting and updating

Inserting object in Mongo is just as simple as putting values in an Array. Just create an object and put it in the collection by calling insert(). Updating objects is just as simple except we need a way to find the original object so we pass a selector object first.

import org.mongodb.Mongo;

class Main
{
	public static function main()
	{
		var mongo = new Mongo();       // connects to MongoDB
		var posts = mongo.blog.posts;  // get the "blog.posts" collection

		// creating a new post is as easy as making a new object
		var post = {
			title: 'My awesome post',
			body: 'MongoDB is easy as pie'
		};
		posts.insert(post); // save the post in Mongo

		post.body = 'Made some updates to my post';
		posts.update({title: post.title}, post); // update the post
	}
}
