DataMapper MongoDB Adapter¶ ↑

Status¶ ↑

The adapter is going through a major re-work as DataMapper will soon support EmbeddedValue (see: wiki.github.com/datamapper/dm-core/roadmap) and the adapter will significantly benefit from that fact as there won’t be a need to hack around DM’s private API like it used to be. Apart from embedded docs support there’s plenty of work that needs to be done around MongoDB’s modifier operators (www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Updating). With these things done we can start thinking about releasing 1.0.

Contributors are most welcome! In case of any questions you can find me on #datamapper IRC channel.

# No need to (auto_)migrate!
biology = Course.create(:name => "Biology")
english = Course.create(:name => "English")

# Queries
Student.all(:age.gte => 20, :name => /oh/, :limit => 20, :order => [:age.asc])

# Array and Hash as a property
class Zoo
  include DataMapper::Mongo::Resource

  property :id, ObjectId

end

Zoo.create(
  :opening_hours => { :weekend => '9am-8pm', :weekdays => '11am-8pm' },

Note on Patches/Pull Requests¶ ↑

Fork the project.
Make your feature addition or bug fix.
Add tests for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally.
Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)
Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
