Simple MongoDB wrapper

This gem is not yet ready for production use.

gem install tinymongo

To create TinyMongo config file (config/tinymongo.yml) and initializer file (config/initializers/tinymongo.rb), do the following:

rails generate tinymongo

TinyMongo.configure({:host => 'localhost', :database => 'db_name'})
TinyMongo.connect

class Person < TinyMongo::Model
  mongo_collection :people          # optional if using Rails
  mongo_key :name
  mongo_key :age, :default => 0
  mongo_key :children, :default => []

  def make_child
    child = Person.create(:name => 'Baby')
    push({:children => child})      # push child into children array
  end

  def grow_up
    inc({:age => 1})                # increments age by 1
  end

  def set_stuff(n,a,c)
    # don't forget to put self
    self.name = n
    self.age = a
    self.children = c
    save
  end
end

Person.drop                         # empty person collection

p = Person.create(:name => 'John', :age => 20)
p.make_child
p.grow_up

Person.find.each do |person|
  puts person.name
end

Person.find_one(:name => 'John').age

Person.create(:name => 'Jim')
Person.create(:name => 'Pam')

Person.find.to_a.map { |person| person.name }

Person.find.has_next?

Person.find.sort({:name => 1}).skip(2).limit(1).next!.name 

Person.find({:name => 'John'}, {:age => 1}) # select only age field

Person.find.count # count ignores skip and limit
Person.find.skip(1).size # size is affected by skip and limit

Person.distinct(:name)

Person.ensure_index({:name => 1})
Person.drop_index({:name => 1})
