example of Rails application using MongoDb

Setup¶ ↑

Install MongoDb (docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-os-x/).

brew update
brew install mongodb

Clone example and load required resources using bundler. Sample application has been configured using instructions on MongoMapper’s Site.

git clone [email protected]:dcvezzani/ballin-octo-dubstep.git mongoapp
cd mongoapp
bundle install

Test¶ ↑

Start MongoDb

./start-db.sh

Run the unit tests. There aren’t any test that exist, but it at least verifies the connection to the database is good.

./run-tests.sh

Start the Rails console¶ ↑

Get your hands dirty. Interact with the database using ActiveRecord like syntax.

Here are some examples to get you started. See MongoMapper::Querying for other querying options.

m = Movie.create!(title: "Tangled")
a = Actor.create!(name: "Joe")

# add actor to the actors for a movie
m.actors << a
m.save!

# search by full field value
m = Movie.where(title: "Tangled").first

# search by "wildcard" (use regular expressions)
m = Movie.where(title: /^Tan/).first

Once you’ve had some time to play around, check out the rest of the great documentation (mongomapper.com/documentation/getting-started/).
