Struct MongoCollection

All methods take arbitrary types for Bson arguments. serializeToBson() is implicitly called on them before they are send to the database. The following example shows some possible ways to specify objects.

Example

import vibe.data.bson;
import vibe.data.json;
import vibe.db.mongo.mongo;

void test()
{
	MongoClient client = connectMongoDB("127.0.0.1");
	MongoCollection users = client.getCollection("myapp.users");

	// canonical version using a Bson object
	users.insert(Bson(["name": Bson("admin"), "password": Bson("secret")]));

	// short version using a string[string] AA that is automatically
	// serialized to Bson
	users.insert(["name": "admin", "password": "secret"]);

	// BSON specific types are also serialized automatically
	auto uid = BsonObjectID.fromString("507f1f77bcf86cd799439011");
	Bson usr = users.findOne(["_id": uid]);

	// JSON is another possibility
	Json jusr = parseJsonString(`{"name": "admin", "password": "secret"}`);
	users.insert(jusr);
}

Example

Using the type system to define a document "schema"

import vibe.db.mongo.mongo;
import vibe.data.serialization : name;
import std.typecons : Nullable;

// Nested object within a "User" document
struct Address {
	string name;
	string street;
	int zipCode;
}

// The document structure of the "myapp.users" collection
struct User {
	@name("_id") BsonObjectID id; // represented as "_id" in the database
	string loginName;
	string password;
	Address address;
}

void test()
{
	MongoClient client = connectMongoDB("127.0.0.1");
	MongoCollection users = client.getCollection("myapp.users");

	// D values are automatically serialized to the internal BSON format
	// upon insertion - see also vibe.data.serialization
	User usr;
	usr.id = BsonObjectID.generate();
	usr.loginName = "admin";
	usr.password = "secret";
	users.insert(usr);

	// find supports direct de-serialization of the returned documents
	foreach (usr2; users.find!User()) {
		logInfo("User: %s", usr2.loginName);
	}

	// the same goes for findOne
	Nullable!User qusr = users.findOne!User(["_id": usr.id]);
	if (!qusr.isNull)
		logInfo("User: %s", qusr.loginName);
}
