A basic ORM like interface for mongodb in python.

Mongoclass

A basic ORM like interface for mongodb in python that uses dataclasses.

Installation

To get started, install mongoclass using pip like so.

pip install -U mongoclass

Getting Started

This section will explain the basics of how to use mongoclass. After reading this, read the API Reference for more information.

from mongoclass import MongoClassClient
client = MongoClassClient("mongoclass", "localhost:27017")

This will create a MongoClassClient instance that exposes the features of mongoclass. MongoClassClient inherits from pymongo.MongoClient so you can also use it like you'd normally use pymongo.

Schemas

To create a schema (or a preferred term, mongoclass), this is all you have to do.

from dataclasses import dataclass

@client.mongoclass()
@dataclass
class User:
    name: str
    email: str
    phone: int
    country: str = "US"

This creates a User mongoclass that belongs in the user collection inside the default database. To create an actual User object and have it be inserted in the database, create an instance of User and call the .insert() method like so

john = User("John Dee", "[e-mail]", 5821)
insert_result = john.insert()

The first line creates the user John Dee with the provided information. Notice how we didn't need to provide a country, that is because country defaults to US.

The second line inserts it to the user collection in the default database and then returns a pymongo.InsertOneResult

As an alternative to having to call .insert(), you can pass _insert=True to User() which will automatically insert as soon as the object is initialized. You do loose the ability to receive the pymongo.InsertOneResult
