This package adds functionalities to the Eloquent model and Query builder for MongoDB, using the original Laravel API. This library extends the original Laravel classes, so it uses exactly the same methods.
- Laravel MongoDB
Make sure you have the MongoDB PHP driver installed. You can find installation instructions at http://php.net/manual/en/mongodb.installation.php

Install the package via Composer:
$ composer require jenssegers/mongodbIn case your Laravel version does NOT autoload the packages, add the service provider to config/app.php:
Jenssegers\Mongodb\MongodbServiceProvider::class,For usage with Lumen, add the service provider in bootstrap/app.php. In this file, you will also need to enable Eloquent. You must however ensure that your call to $app->withEloquent(); is below where you have registered the MongodbServiceProvider:
$app->register(Jenssegers\Mongodb\MongodbServiceProvider::class);
$app->withEloquent();The service provider will register a MongoDB database extension with the original database manager. There is no need to register additional facades or objects.
When using MongoDB connections, Laravel will automatically provide you with the corresponding MongoDB objects.
For usage outside Laravel, check out the Capsule manager and add:
$capsule->getDatabaseManager()->extend('mongodb', function($config, $name) {
$config['name'] = $name;
return new Jenssegers\Mongodb\Connection($config);
});To run the test for this package, run:
docker-compose up
To reset the database after each test, add:
use Illuminate\Foundation\Testing\DatabaseMigrations;Also inside each test classes, add:
use DatabaseMigrations;Keep in mind that these traits are not yet supported:
use Database Transactions;use RefreshDatabase;
You can use MongoDB either as the main database, either as a side database. To do so, add a new mongodb connection to config/database.php:
'mongodb' => [
'driver' => 'mongodb',
'host' => env('DB_HOST', '127.0.0.1'),
'port' => env('DB_PORT', 27017),
'database' => env('DB_DATABASE', 'homestead'),
'username' => env('DB_USERNAME', 'homestead'),
'password' => env('DB_PASSWORD', 'secret'),
'options' => [
// here you can pass more settings to the Mongo Driver Manager
// see https://www.php.net/manual/en/mongodb-driver-manager.construct.php under "Uri Options" for a list of complete parameters that you can use
'database' => env('DB_AUTHENTICATION_DATABASE', 'admin'), // required with Mongo 3+
],
],For multiple servers or replica set configurations, set the host to an array and specify each server host:
'mongodb' => [
'driver' => 'mongodb',
'host' => ['server1', 'server2', ...],
...
'options' => [
'replicaSet' => 'rs0',
],
],If you wish to use a connection string instead of full key-value params, you can set it so. Check the documentation on MongoDB's URI format: https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/connection-string/
'mongodb' => [
'driver' => 'mongodb',
'dsn' => env('DB_DSN'),
'database' => env('DB_DATABASE', 'homestead'),
],This package includes a MongoDB enabled Eloquent class that you can use to define models for corresponding collections.
use Jenssegers\Mongodb\Eloquent\Model;
class Book extends Model
{
//
}Just like a normal model, the MongoDB model class will know which collection to use based on the model name. For Book, the collection books will be used.
To change the collection, pass the $collection property:
use Jenssegers\Mongodb\Eloquent\Model;
class Book extends Model
{
protected $collection = 'my_books_collection';
}NOTE: MongoDB documents are automatically stored with a unique ID that is stored in the _id property. If you wish to use your own ID, substitute the $primaryKey property and set it to your own primary key attribute name.
use Jenssegers\Mongodb\Eloquent\Model;
class Book extends Model
{
protected $primaryKey = 'id';
}
// Mongo will also create _id, but the 'id' property will be used for primary key actions like find().
Book::create(['id' => 1, 'title' => 'The Fault in Our Stars']);Likewise, you may define a connection property to override the name of the database connection that should be used when utilizing the model.
use Jenssegers\Mongodb\Eloquent\Model;
class Book extends Model
{
protected $connection = 'mongodb';
}When soft deleting a model, it is not actually removed from your database. Instead, a deleted_at timestamp is set on the record.
To enable soft deletes for a model, apply the Jenssegers\Mongodb\Eloquent\SoftDeletes Trait to the model:
use Jenssegers\Mongodb\Eloquent\SoftDeletes;
class User extends Model
{
use SoftDeletes;
protected $dates = ['deleted_at'];
}For more information check Laravel Docs about Soft Deleting.
Eloquent allows you to work with Carbon or DateTime objects instead of MongoDate objects. Internally, these dates will be converted to MongoDate objects when saved to the database.
use Jenssegers\Mongodb\Eloquent\Model;
class User extends Model
{
protected $dates = ['birthday'];
}This allows you to execute queries like this:
$users = User::where(
'birthday', '>',
new DateTime('-18 years')
)->get();Retrieving all models
$users = User::all();Retrieving a record by primary key
$user = User::find('517c43667db388101e00000f');Where
$posts =
Post::where('author.name', 'John')
->take(10)
->get();OR Statements
$posts =
Post::where('votes', '>', 0)
->orWhere('is_approved', true)
->get();AND statements
$users =
User::where('age', '>', 18)
->where('name', '!=', 'John')
->get();whereIn
$users = User::whereIn('age', [16, 18, 20])->get();When using whereNotIn objects will be returned if the field is non-existent. Combine with whereNotNull('age') to leave out those documents.
whereBetween
$posts = Post::whereBetween('votes', [1, 100])->get();whereNull
$users = User::whereNull('age')->get();Advanced wheres
$users =
User::where('name', 'John')
->orWhere(function ($query) {
return $query
->where('votes', '>', 100)
->where('title', '<>', 'Admin');
})->get();orderBy
$users = User::orderBy('age', 'desc')->get();Offset & Limit (skip & take)
$users =
User::skip(10)
->take(5)
->get();groupBy
Selected columns that are not grouped will be aggregated with the $last function.
$users =
Users::groupBy('title')
->get(['title', 'name']);Distinct
Distinct requires a field for which to return the distinct values.
$users = User::distinct()->get(['name']);
// Equivalent to:
$users = User::distinct('name')->get();Distinct can be combined with where:
$users =
User::where('active', true)
->distinct('name')
->get();Like
$spamComments = Comment::where('body', 'like', '%spam%')->get();Aggregation
Aggregations are only available for MongoDB versions greater than 2.2.x
$total = Product::count();
$price = Product::max('price');
$price = Product::min('price');
$price = Product::avg('price');
$total = Product::sum('price');Aggregations can be combined with where:
$sold = Orders::where('sold', true)->sum('price');Aggregations can be also used on sub-documents:
$total = Order::max('suborder.price');NOTE: This aggregation only works with single sub-documents not arrays.
Incrementing/Decrementing the value of a column
Perform increments or decrements (default 1) on specified attributes:
Cat::where('name', 'Kitty')->increment('age');
Car::where('name', 'Toyota')->decrement('weight', 50);The number of updated objects is returned:
$count = User::increment('age');You may also specify additional columns to update:
Cat::where('age', 3)
->increment('age', 1, ['group' => 'Kitty Club']);
Car::where('weight', 300)
->decrement('weight', 100, ['latest_change' => 'carbon fiber']);Exists
Matches documents that have the specified field.
User::where('age', 'exists', true)->get();All
Matches arrays that contain all elements specified in the query.
User::where('roles', 'all', ['moderator', 'author'])->get();Size
Selects documents if the array field is a specified size.
Post::where('tags', 'size', 3)->get();Regex
Selects documents where values match a specified regular expression.
use MongoDB\BSON\Regex;
User::where('name', 'regex', new Regex('.*doe', 'i'))->get();NOTE: you can also use the Laravel regexp operations. These are a bit more flexible and will automatically convert your regular expression string to a MongoDB\BSON\Regex object.
User::where('name', 'regexp', '/.*doe/i')->get();The inverse of regexp:
User::where('name', 'not regexp', '/.*doe/i')->get();Type
Selects documents if a field is of the specified type. For more information check: http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/operator/query/type/#op._S_type
User::where('age', 'type', 2)->get();Mod
Performs a modulo operation on the value of a field and selects documents with a specified result.
User::where('age', 'mod', [10, 0])->get();Near
$bars = Bar::where('location', 'near', [
'$geometry' => [
'type' => 'Point',
'coordinates' => [
-0.1367563, // longitude
51.5100913, // latitude
],
],
'$maxDistance' => 50,
])->get();GeoWithin
$bars = Bar::where('location', 'geoWithin', [
'$geometry' => [
'type' => 'Polygon',
'coordinates' => [
[
[-0.1450383, 51.5069158],
[-0.1367563, 51.5100913],
[-0.1270247, 51.5013233],
[-0.1450383, 51.5069158],
],
],
],
])->get();GeoIntersects
$bars = Bar::where('location', 'geoIntersects', [
'$geometry' => [
'type' => 'LineString',
'coordinates' => [
[-0.144044, 51.515215],
[-0.129545, 51.507864],
],
],
])->get();Inserting, updating and deleting records works just like the original Eloquent. Please check Laravel Docs' Eloquent section.
Here, only the MongoDB-specific operations are specified.
Raw Expressions
These expressions will be injected directly into the query.
User::whereRaw([
'age' => ['$gt' => 30, '$lt' => 40],
])->get();You can also perform raw expressions on the internal MongoCollection object. If this is executed on the model class, it will return a collection of models.
If this is executed on the query builder, it will return the original response.
Cursor timeout
To prevent MongoCursorTimeout exceptions, you can manually set a timeout value that will be applied to the cursor:
DB::collection('users')->timeout(-1)->get();Upsert
Update or insert a document. Additional options for the update method are passed directly to the native update method.
// Query Builder
DB::collection('users')
->where('name', 'John')
->update($data, ['upsert' => true]);
// Eloquent
$user->update($data, ['upsert' => true]);Projections
You can apply projections to your queries using the project method.
DB::collection('items')
->project(['tags' => ['$slice' => 1]])
->get();
DB::collection('items')
->project(['tags' => ['$slice' => [3, 7]]])
->get();Projections with Pagination
$limit = 25;
$projections = ['id', 'name'];
DB::collection('items')
->paginate($limit, $projections);Push
Add items to an array.
DB::collection('users')
->where('name', 'John')
->push('items', 'boots');
$user->push('items', 'boots');DB::collection('users')
->where('name', 'John')
->push('messages', [
'from' => 'Jane Doe',
'message' => 'Hi John',
]);
$user->push('messages', [
'from' => 'Jane Doe',
'message' => 'Hi John',
]);If you DON'T want duplicate items, set the third parameter to true:
DB::collection('users')
->where('name', 'John')
->push('items', 'boots', true);
$user->push('items', 'boots', true);Pull
Remove an item from an array.
DB::collection('users')
->where('name', 'John')
->pull('items', 'boots');
$user->pull('items', 'boots');DB::collection('users')
->where('name', 'John')
->pull('messages', [
'from' => 'Jane Doe',
'message' => 'Hi John',
]);
$user->pull('messages', [
'from' => 'Jane Doe',
'message' => 'Hi John',
]);Unset
Remove one or more fields from a document.
DB::collection('users')
->where('name', 'John')
->unset('note');
$user->unset('note');The only available relationships are:
- hasOne
- hasMany
- belongsTo
- belongsToMany
Here is a small example:
use Jenssegers\Mongodb\Eloquent\Model;
class User extends Model
{
public function items()
{
return $this->hasMany(Item::class);
}
}The inverse relation of hasMany is belongsTo:
use Jenssegers\Mongodb\Eloquent\Model;
class Item extends Model
{
public function user()
{
return $this->belongsTo(User::class);
}
}The belongsToMany relation will not use a pivot "table" but will push id's to a related_ids attribute instead. This makes the second parameter for the belongsToMany method useless.
If you want to define custom keys for your relation, set it to null:
use Jenssegers\Mongodb\Eloquent\Model;
class User extends Model
{
public function groups()
{
return $this->belongsToMany(
Group::class, null, 'user_ids', 'group_ids'
);
}
}The database driver plugs right into the original query builder.
When using MongoDB connections, you will be able to build fluent queries to perform database operations.
For your convenience, there is a collection alias for table as well as some additional MongoDB specific operators/operations.
$books = DB::collection('books')->get();
$hungerGames =
DB::collection('books')
->where('name', 'Hunger Games')
->first();If you are familiar with Eloquent Queries, there is the same functionality.
To see the available operations, check the Eloquent section.
The database driver also has (limited) schema builder support. You can easily manipulate collections and set indexes.
Schema::create('users', function ($collection) {
$collection->index('name');
$collection->unique('email');
});You can also pass all the parameters specified in the MongoDB docs to the $options parameter:
Schema::create('users', function ($collection) {
$collection->index(
'username',
null,
null,
[
'sparse' => true,
'unique' => true,
'background' => true,
]
);
});Inherited operations:
- create and drop
- collection
- hasCollection
- index and dropIndex (compound indexes supported as well)
- unique
MongoDB specific operations:
- background
- sparse
- expire
- geospatial
All other (unsupported) operations are implemented as dummy pass-through methods because MongoDB does not use a predefined schema.
Read more about the schema builder on Laravel Docs
Geospatial indexes are handy for querying location-based documents.
They come in two forms: 2d and 2dsphere. Use the schema builder to add these to a collection.
Schema::create('bars', function ($collection) {
$collection->geospatial('location', '2d');
});To add a 2dsphere index:
Schema::create('bars', function ($collection) {
$collection->geospatial('location', '2dsphere');
});If you're using a hybrid MongoDB and SQL setup, you can define relationships across them.
The model will automatically return a MongoDB-related or SQL-related relation based on the type of the related model.
If you want this functionality to work both ways, your SQL-models will need to use the Jenssegers\Mongodb\Eloquent\HybridRelations trait.
This functionality only works for hasOne, hasMany and belongsTo.
The MySQL model should use the HybridRelations trait:
use Jenssegers\Mongodb\Eloquent\HybridRelations;
class User extends Model
{
use HybridRelations;
protected $connection = 'mysql';
public function messages()
{
return $this->hasMany(Message::class);
}
}Within your MongoDB model, you should define the relationship:
use Jenssegers\Mongodb\Eloquent\Model;
class Message extends Model
{
protected $connection = 'mongodb';
public function user()
{
return $this->belongsTo(User::class);
}
}If you want to use Laravel's native Auth functionality, register this included service provider:
Jenssegers\Mongodb\Auth\PasswordResetServiceProvider::class,This service provider will slightly modify the internal DatabaseReminderRepository to add support for MongoDB based password reminders.
If you don't use password reminders, you don't have to register this service provider and everything else should work just fine.
If you want to use MongoDB as your database backend, change the driver in config/queue.php:
'connections' => [
'database' => [
'driver' => 'mongodb',
'table' => 'jobs',
'queue' => 'default',
'expire' => 60,
],
],If you want to use MongoDB to handle failed jobs, change the database in config/queue.php:
'failed' => [
'driver' => env('QUEUE_FAILED_DRIVER', 'database'),
'database' => env('DB_CONNECTION', 'mongodb'),
'table' => 'failed_jobs',
],Or simply set your own QUEUE_FAILED_DRIVER environment variable to mongodb
QUEUE_FAILED_DRIVER=mongodbLast, add the service provider in config/app.php:
Jenssegers\Mongodb\MongodbQueueServiceProvider::class,This new major release contains breaking changes which is listed below:
- EmbedsOne and EmbedsMany relations has been removed completely. See explanation here
