Introduction to Mongorito

Mongorito is a lightweight and fast MongoDB ODM (Object Data Modeling) framework for Node.js. It provides a simple and intuitive API for working with MongoDB databases. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced developer, Mongorito can significantly simplify your database operations.

Getting Started with Mongorito

To get started with Mongorito, you need to install it using npm:

  
    npm install mongorito --save
  

Connecting to a Database

First, you need to connect to a MongoDB database:

  
    const { Database } = require('mongorito');

    const db = new Database('mongodb://localhost:27017/mydatabase');
    await db.connect();
  

Defining a Model

Define a model by extending the Model class provided by Mongorito:

  
    const { Model } = require('mongorito');

    class Post extends Model {}
  

CRUD Operations

Here are some basic CRUD operations you can perform with Mongorito:

Create

  
    const post = new Post({
      title: 'My first post',
      body: 'This is the content of my first post'
    });

    await post.save();
  

Read

  
    const posts = await Post.find();

    const post = await Post.findOne({ title: 'My first post' });
  

Update

  
    const post = await Post.findOne({ title: 'My first post' });
    post.set('body', 'This is the updated content of my first post');
    await post.save();
  

Delete

  
    const post = await Post.findOne({ title: 'My first post' });
    await post.remove();
  

Advanced Queries

Mongorito allows for advanced querying capabilities:

  
    const recentPosts = await Post.where('created_at').gte('2023-01-01').find();

    const specificPosts = await Post.where('author').equals('John Doe').find();
  

Using Plugins

You can enhance the functionality of your models with plugins:

  
    const { plugin } = require('mongorito');

    const timestampPlugin = (Model) => {
      Model.before('save', async (model) => {
        const now = new Date();
        model.set('updated_at', now);
        if (!model.get('created_at')) {
          model.set('created_at', now);
        }
      });
    };

    db.use(timestampPlugin);
  

Application Example

Here is a basic example of an application using Mongorito:

  
    const { Database, Model } = require('mongorito');

    const db = new Database('mongodb://localhost:27017/blog');
    await db.connect();

    class Post extends Model {}

    class Comment extends Model {}

    const post = new Post({
      title: 'Mongorito is Awesome',
      body: 'Mongorito makes working with MongoDB a breeze!',
    });

    await post.save();

    const comment = new Comment({
      post_id: post.get('_id'),
      author: 'Jane Doe',
      text: 'I completely agree!',
    });

    await comment.save();

    const posts = await Post.find();
    const comments = await Comment.where('post_id', post.get('_id')).find();

    console.log(posts, comments);
  

With this example, you can see how easy it is to create, read, update, and delete data using Mongorito and how to define relationships between different collections.
