Changelog — com.novemberain/monger 3.6.0

New from-db-object implementation for DBObject avoids creation of an unnecessary sequence and instead directly accesses DBObject instance in reduce. This should offer performance improvement of about 20%. A performance test can be found at monger.test.stress-test.

Changes between 2.1.0 and 3.0.0

Monger 3.0 is based on the MongoDB Java driver 3.0 and has some (relatively minor) breaking API changes.

Error Handling Built Around Write Concerns

Monger no longer provides monger.core/get-last-error. It is no longer needed: write concerns and exceptions is now the primary way for clients to be notified of operation failures.

New Authentication API

MongoDB 3.0 supports different authentication mechanisms. Multiple credentials can be specified for a single connection. The client and the server then can negotiate what authentication mechanism to use and which set of credentials succeed.

Monger introduces a new namespace for credential instantiation: monger.credentials. The most common function that relies on authentication mechanism negotiation is monger.credentials/for:

(require '[monger.core :as mg])
(require '[monger.credentials :as mcr])

(let [creds (mcr/for "username" "db-name" "pa$$w0rd")
      conn  (mg/connect-with-credentials "127.0.0.1" creds)]
      )

mg/connect-with-credentials is the most convenient function to connect with if you plan on using authentication.

When connecting using a URI, the API hasn't changed.

monger.search is Gone

monger.search is gone. MongoDB 3.0 supports search queries using regular query operators, namely $text. monger.operators is extended to include $text, $search, $language, and $natural.

An example of a search query in 3.0:

(require '[monger.core :as mg])
(require '[monger.credentials :as mcr])
(require '[monger.collection :as mc])
(require '[monger.operators :refer [$text $search]])

(let [creds (mcr/for "username" "db-name" "pa$$w0rd")
      conn  (mg/connect-with-credentials "127.0.0.1" creds)
      db    (mg/get-db conn "db-name")]
  (mc/find-maps db "collection" {$text {$search "hello"}}))

Add allow-disk-use and Cursor Options to Aggregates

monger.collection/aggregate now supports :cursor and :allow-disk-use options.

Contributed by Bartek Marcinowski.

JSON Serialization of BSON Timestamps

JSON serialisation extensions now support BSON timestamps.

Contributed by Tom McMillen.

Changes between 2.0.0 and 2.1.0

Clojure 1.7 Compatibility

Monger now compiles with Clojure 1.7.

MongoDB Java Driver Update

MongoDB Java driver dependency has been updated to 2.13.x.

$each Operator

The $each operator now can be used via monger.operators.

Contributed by Juha Jokimäki.

Changes between 1.8.0 and 2.0.0

2.0 is a major release that has breaking public API changes.

Explicit Connection/DB/GridFS Argument

In Monger 2.0, all key public API functions require an explicit DB/connection/GridFS object to be provided instead of relying on a shared dynamic var. This makes Monger much easier to use with systems such as Component and Jig, as well as concurrent applications that need to work with multiple connections, database, or GridFS filesystems.

In other words, instead of

(require '[monger.collection :as mc])

(mc/insert "libraries" {:name "Monger"})

it is now necessary to do

(require '[monger.collection :as mc])

(mc/insert db "libraries" {:name "Monger"})

This also means that monger.core/connect! and monger.core/connect-via-uri! were removed, as was monger.multi namespaces.

To connect to MongoDB, use monger.core/connect:

(require '[monger.core :as mg])

(let [conn (mg/connect)])

or monger.core/connect-via-uri:

(require '[monger.core :as mg])

(let [{:keys [conn db]} (mg/connect-via-uri "mongodb://clojurewerkz/monger:monger@127.0.0.1/monger-test4")])

To get a database reference, use monger.core/get-db, which now requires a connection object:

(require '[monger.core :as mg])

(let [conn (mg/connect)
      db   (mg/get-db conn "monger-test")])

Options as Maps

Functions that take options now require a proper Clojure map instead of pseudo keyword arguments:

# in Monger 1.x
(mc/update db coll {} {:score 0} :multi true)

# in Monger 2.x
(mc/update db coll {} {:score 0} {:multi true})

Changes between 1.8.0-beta2 and 1.8.0

Clojure 1.6

Monger now depends on org.clojure/clojure version 1.6.0. It is still compatible with Clojure 1.4 and if your project.clj depends on a different version, it will be used, but 1.6 is the default now.

Changes between 1.8.0-beta1 and 1.8.0-beta2

monger.result Use with WriteConcerns is Deprecated

MongoDB Java driver 2.12.x no longer guarantees connection affinity for thread pool threads.

This means that WriteConcern#getLastError is no longer a safe from concurrency hazards. Therefore the use of monger.result functions on WriteConcern instances is now deprecated in MongoDB Java client and Monger.

MongoDB Java Driver Update

MongoDB Java driver dependency has been updated to 2.12.x.

Default WriteConcern Change

Monger now uses WriteConcern/ACKNOWLEDGED by default. Functionality-wise it is the same as WriteConcern/SAFE in earlier versions.

Changes between 1.7.0 and 1.8.0-beta1

monger.core/connect-via-uri

monger.core/connect-via-uri is a version of monger.core/connect-via-uri! which returns the connection instead of mutating a var.

It should be used by projects that are built from reloadable components, together with monger.multi.*.

Changes between 1.7.0-beta1 and 1.7.0

MongoDB Java Driver Update

MongoDB Java driver dependency has been updated to 2.11.3.

Ragtime Dependency Dropped

Ragtime is now an optional dependency: if your project uses monger.ragtime, you need to add Ragtime to your own project.clj:

[ragtime/ragtime.core          "0.3.4"]

Validateur Dependency Dropped

Validateur is no longer a dependency.

Changes between 1.6.0 and 1.7.0-beta1

Fune Tuning Cursor Options

monger.query DSL now provides a way to fine tune database cursor options:

(with-collection "products"
  ...
  (options {:notimeout true, :slaveok false}) ;; where keyword matches Bytes/QUERYOPTION_*
  (options [:notimeout :slaveok])
  (options com.mongodb.Bytes/QUERYOPTION_NOTIMEOUT) ;; support Java constants
  (options :notimeout)
  ...

monger.cursor is a new namespace that provides the plumbing for cursor fine tuning but should not be widely used directly.

Joda Time Integration Improvements: LocalDate

LocalDate instance serialization is now supported by Monger Joda Time integration.

Contributed by Timo Sulg.

Clojure 1.3 Is No Longer Supported

Monger now officially supports Clojure 1.4+.

Cheshire Upgrade

Cheshire dependency has been upgraded to 5.2.0

ClojureWerkz Support Upgrade

ClojureWerkz Support dependency has been updated to 0.19.0.

Validateur 1.5.0

Validateur dependency has been upgraded to 1.5.0.

Changes between 1.5.0 and 1.6.0

monger.multi.collection

monger.multi.collection is a new namespace with functions that are very similar to those in the monger.collection namespace but always take a database reference as an explicit argument.

They are supposed to be used in cases when relying on monger.core/*mongodb-database* is not enough.

Erik Bakstad contributed most of this work.

MongoDB Java Driver Update

MongoDB Java driver dependency has been updated to 2.11.2.

monger.core/drop-db

monger.core/drop-db is a new function that drops a database by name.

One More Cache Implementation

monger.cache/db-aware-monger-cache-factory will return a MongoDB-backed clojure.core.cache implementation that can use any database:

(require '[monger.core  :as mg])
(require '[monger.cache :as cache])

(let [db   (mg/get-db "altcache")
      coll "cache_entries"
      c    (cache/db-aware-monger-cache-factory db coll)]
  (comment "This cache instance will use the altcache DB"))

Ragtime changes

Bug fix: monger.ragtime/applied-migration-ids now returns a vector (instead of a set) in order to preserve the original creation order of the migrations.

Ragtime dependency has been updated to 0.3.3.

Changes between 1.4.0 and 1.5.0

Full Text Search Support

Full text search in MongoDB 2.4 can be used via commands but Monger 1.5 also provides convenience functions in the monger.search namespace:

monger.search/search for performing queries
monger.search/results-from for obtaining hit documents sorted by score

(require '[monger.collection :as mc])
(require '[monger.search     :as ms])

(mc/ensure-index coll {:subject "text" :content "text"})
(mc/insert coll {:subject "hello there" :content "this should be searchable"})
(mc/insert coll {:subject "untitled" :content "this is just noize"})

(println (ms/results-from (ms/search coll "hello"))

MongoDB Java Driver Update

MongoDB Java driver dependency has been updated to 2.11.0.

New Geospatial Operators

monger.operators now defines a few more operators for convenience:

$getWithin
$getIntersects
$near

Of course, these and any other new operators can be passed as strings (e.g. "$near") as well.

monger.core/admin-db

monger.core/admin-db is a new convenience function that returns the admin database reference.

monger.command/admin-command

monger.command/admin-command is a new convenience function for running commands on the admin database.

monger.core/mongo-options Updates

monger.core/mongo-options options are now up-to-date with the most recent MongoDB Java driver.

Factory DSL Is Gone

Monger's factory DSL (an undocumented experimental feature) has been removed from monger.testkit. It did not work as well as we expected and there are better alternatives available now.

Clojure 1.5 By Default

Monger now depends on org.clojure/clojure version 1.5.1. It is still compatible with Clojure 1.3+ and if your project.clj depends on a different version, it will be used, but 1.5 is the default now.

We encourage all users to upgrade to 1.5, it is a drop-in replacement for the majority of projects out there.

Authentication On Default Database

monger.core/authenticate now has a 2-arity version that will authenticate on the default database:

(let [username "myservice"
      pwd      "LGo5h#B`cTRQ>28tba6u"]
  (monger.core/use-db! "mydb")
  ;; authenticates requests for mydb
  (monger.core/authenticate username (.toCharArray pwd)))

ClojureWerkz Support Upgrade

ClojureWerkz Support dependency has been updated to version 0.15.0. This means Monger now will use Cheshire 5.0.x.

Explicit DBCursor Closure by monger.collection/find-maps and the like

monger.collection/find-maps and the like will now explicitly close DB cursors.

GH issue: 47

Changes between 1.3.0 and 1.4.0

Cheshire Upgrade

clojurewerkz.support.json now requires [Cheshire] 5.0. There were some incompatible changes in Cheshire 5.0, see Cheshire change log.

data.json Dependency Fixes

monger.json no longer requires data.json to be present at compile time.

MongoDB Java Driver Update

MongoDB Java driver dependency has been updated to 2.10.0.

ClojureWerkz Support Upgrade

ClojureWerkz Support dependency has been updated to version 0.9.0.

Changes between 1.2.0 and 1.3.0

monger.core/disconnect!

monger.core/disconnect! closes the default database connection.

Ragtime 0.3.0

Ragtime dependency has been updated to 0.3.0.

MongoDB Java Driver Update

MongoDB Java driver dependency has been updated to 2.9.2.

Cheshire Support

monger.json and monger.joda-time will now use Cheshire if it is available. clojure.data.json is no longer a hard dependency (but still supported if available).

Because clojure.data.json is no longer a hard Monger dependency, you need to either add it as explicit dependency to your project or switch to Cheshire.

To switch to Cheshire (you may need to update your code that uses clojure.data.json directly!), add the following to your :dependencies list:

[cheshire "4.0.3"]

For clojure.data.json version 0.1.2.:

[org.clojure/data.json "0.2.0"]

ClojureWerkz Support 0.7.0

ClojureWerkz Support dependency has been updated to version 0.7.0.

Changes between 1.1.0 and 1.2.0

Clojure 1.4 By Default

Monger now depends on org.clojure/clojure version 1.4.0. It is still compatible with Clojure 1.3 and if your project.clj depends on 1.3, it will be used, but 1.4 is the default now.

We encourage all users to upgrade to 1.4, it is a drop-in replacement for the majority of projects out there.

monger.joda-time no longer requires clojure.data.json

monger.joda-time no longer requires clojure.data.json. If clojure.data.json is available, it will be loaded and extended. If not, monger.joda-time will only extend Clojure reader and BSON dates serialization/deserialization.

MongoDB Java driver 2.9.0

MongoDB Java driver dependency has been updated to 2.9.0.

Eliminated Reflection Warnings in monger.joda-time

monger.joda-time functions no longer result in reflective method calls.

Contributed by Baishampayan Ghose.

ClojureWerkz Support 0.6.0

ClojureWerkz Support dependency has been updated to version 0.6.0.

Monger Query DSL now supports low level options on cursors

For example:

(with-collection coll
                  (find {})
                  (paginate :page 1 :per-page 3)
                  (sort { :title 1 })
                  (read-preference ReadPreference/PRIMARY)
                  (options com.mongodb.Bytes/QUERYOPTION_NOTIMEOUT))

monger.collection/insert-and-return no longer forcefully replaces existing document id

monger.collection/insert-and-return now preserves existing document ids, just like monger.collection/save-and-return does.

Changes between 1.1.0-rc1 and 1.1.0

No changes.

Changes between 1.1.0-beta2 and 1.1.0-rc1

monger.collection/save-and-return

monger.collection/save-and-return is a new function that to monger.collection/save is what monger.collection/insert-and-return is to monger.collection/insert. See Monger 1.1.0-beta1 changes or function documentation strings for more information.

Changes between 1.1.0-beta1 and 1.1.0-beta2

Support for passing keywords as collection names

It is now possible to use Clojure keywords as collection names with monger.collection functions. For example, monger.collection/insert-and-return that's given collection name as :people will store treat it as people (by applying clojure.core/name to the argument).

Changes between 1.1.0-alpha3 and 1.1.0-beta1

monger.collection/insert-and-return

monger.collection/insert-and-return is a new function that solves the biggest complain about Monger's monger.collection/insert behavior from Monger 1.0 users. Because monger.collection/insert returns a write result and is supposed to be used with Validateur and monger.result/ok? and similar functions, it is hard to retrieve object id in case it wasn't explicitly passed in.

This resulted in code that looks more or less like this:

(let [oid    (ObjectId.)
      result (merge doc {:_id oid)]
  (monger.collection/insert "documents" result)
  result)

To solve this problem, we introduce a new function, monger.collection/insert-and-return, that returns the exact inserted document as an immutable Clojure map. The :_id key will be available on the returned map, even if wasn't present and had to be generated.

monger.collection/insert behavior stays the same both because of backwards compatibility concerns and because there are valid cases when a user may want to have the write result returned.

Changes between 1.1.0-alpha2 and 1.1.0-alpha3

Clojure reader extensions

monger.joda-time now extends Clojure reader for Joda Time types so the new Clojure reader-based Ring session store can store Joda dates/time values.

Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.1.0-alpha2

Alternative, Clojure reader-based Ring session store implementation

Monger 1.1 will have an alternative Ring session store uses Clojure reader serialization

This way libraries like Friend, that use namespaced keywords (like ::identity) and other Clojure-specific data structures will work well with Monger.

Current store will strip off namespace information from namespaced keywords because clojure.core/name work that way. For example:

(name ::identity)

Reported by Julio Barros.

Changes between 1.0.0-rc2 and 1.0.0

Extended support for BSON serialization for Joda Time types

monger.joda-time previously only extended BSON (DBObjects) conversion protocol for org.joda.time.DateTime. While DateTime is the most commonly used type in JodaTime, plenty of other types are also used and may need to be stored in MongoDB documents.

Now Monger handles serialization for all JodaTime types that inherit from org.joda.time.base.AbstractInstant, for example, org.joda.time.DateTime and org.joda.time.DateMidnight.

Changes between 1.0.0-rc1 and 1.0.0-rc2

Ragtime integration

Monger now provides an adapter for Ragtime, a generic Clojure library for data migrations (evolutions).

It is in the monger.ragtime namespace. To use Ragtime with Monger, you need to add dependencies on both Ragtime core and Monger to your project. An example with Leiningen:

:dependencies [[org.clojure/clojure       "1.4.0"]
               [com.novemberain/monger    "1.0.0-rc2"]
               [ragtime/ragtime.core      "0.2.0"]]

Then require monger.ragtime and use Ragtime as usual, passing it a database instance you get via monger.core/get-db.

Monger will persist information about migrations using the FSYNC_SAFE write concern.

Query DSL no longer seq()s the cursor

Query DSL will no longer apply clojure.core/seq to the underlying cursor, thus guaranteeing to return an empty sequence when there are no results. This gives developers better control over what do they want to get back: an empty sequence or nil. In the latter case, they will just manually apply clojure.core/seq to the result.

More flexible monger.collection/ensure-index and monger.collection/create-index

monger.collection/ensure-index and monger.collection/ensure-index now accept fields to index as a collection (e.g. a vector) as well as a map. It is convenient when creating multiple single-field indexes at once.

Changes between 1.0.0-beta8 and 1.0.0-rc1

Documentation improvements

Documentation guides have been greatly improved and now include several new guides:

monger.core/current-db

monger.core/current-db returns the currently used database.

monger.core/use-db!

monger.core/use-db! composes monger.core/set-db! and monger.core/get-db:

(ns my.service
  (:use [monger.core :only [set-db! use-db! get-db]]))

;; equivalent
(use-db! "my_product")
(set-db! (get-db "my_product"))

monger.result/ok? now works on Clojure maps

monger.result/ok? has been implemented for Clojure maps.

Changes between 1.0.0-beta7 and 1.0.0-beta8

GridFS support improvements

Monger finally has a higher-level DSL for storing files on GridFS

(ns my.service
  (:use [monger.gridfs :only [store-file make-input-file filename content-type metadata]]))

;; store a file from a local FS path with the given filename, content type and metadata
(store-file (make-input-file "/path/to/a/local/file.png")
  (filename "image.png")
  (metadata {:format "png"})
  (content-type "image/png"))

There are also querying improvements: monger.gridfs/find-maps and monger.gridfs/find-one-as-map are new functions that were added. They serve the same purposes as monger.collection/find-maps and monger.collection/find-one-as-map, making it easy to work with Clojure data structures all the time.

monger.gridfs/files-as-maps works the same way as monger.gridfs/all-files but returns results as Clojure maps. It is to monger.gridfs/all-files what monger.collection/find-maps is to monger.collection/find.

MongoDB 2.1/2.2 Aggregation Framework support

monger.collection/aggregate provides a convenient way to run aggregation queries.

(ns my.service
  (:require [monger.collection :as mc])
  (:use monger.operators))

;; single stage pipeline
(mc/aggregate "docs" [{$project {:subtotal {$multiply ["$quantity", "$price"]}
                                                       :_id     "$state"}}])

;; two stage pipeline
(mc/aggregate "docs" [{$project {:subtotal {$multiply ["$quantity", "$price"]}
                                                       :_id      1
                                                       :state   1}}
                                            {$group   {:_id   "$state"
                                                       :total {$sum "$subtotal"}}}])

The following couple of tests demonstrates aggregation queries with some sample data:

(deftest ^{:edge-features true} test-basic-projection-with-multiplication
  (let [collection "docs"
        batch      [{ :state "CA" :quantity 1 :price 199.00 }
                    { :state "NY" :quantity 2 :price 199.00 }
                    { :state "NY" :quantity 1 :price 299.00 }
                    { :state "IL" :quantity 2 :price 11.50  }
                    { :state "CA" :quantity 2 :price 2.95   }
                    { :state "IL" :quantity 3 :price 5.50   }]
        expected    [{:_id "NY" :subtotal 398.0}
                     {:_id "NY" :subtotal 299.0}
                     {:_id "IL" :subtotal 23.0}
                     {:_id "CA" :subtotal 5.9}
                     {:_id "IL" :subtotal 16.5}
                     {:_id "CA" :subtotal 199.0}]]
    (mc/insert-batch collection batch)
    (let [result (vec (mc/aggregate "docs" [{$project {:subtotal {$multiply ["$quantity", "$price"]}
                                                       :_id     "$state"}}]))]
      (is (= expected result)))))


(deftest ^{:edge-features true} test-basic-total-aggregation
  (let [collection "docs"
        batch      [{ :state "CA" :quantity 1 :price 199.00 }

      (is (= expected result)))))

The aggregation framework is an edge feature that will be available in MongoDB 2.2.

More Operators

Two new operator macros: $regex, $options and those used by the upcoming MongoDB 2.2 Aggregation framework.

Changes between 1.0.0-beta6 and 1.0.0-beta7

Replica sets support

Monger can now connect to replica sets using one or more seeds when calling monger.core/connect with a collection of server addresses instead of just a single one:

(ns my.service
  (:use monger.core))

;; Connect to a single MongoDB instance
(connect (server-address "127.0.0.1" 27017) (mongo-options))

;; Connect to a replica set
(connect [(server-address "127.0.0.1" 27017) (server-address "127.0.0.1" 27018)]
         (mongo-options))

monger.core/connect! works exactly the same way.

Contributed by Baishampayan Ghose.

ring.session.store implementation

Monger now features a Ring session store implementation. To use it, require monger.ring.session-store and use monger.ring.session-store/monger-store function like so:

(ns my.service
  (:use monger.ring.session-store))

(let [store (monger-store "web_sessions")]
  ...)

Changes between 1.0.0-beta5 and 1.0.0-beta6

find-and-modify support

monger.collection/find-and-modify function implements atomic Find and Modify command. It is similar to the "regular" update operations but atomically modifies a document (at most one) and returns it.

An example:

(mgcol/find-and-modify "scoreboard" {:name "Sophie Bangs"} {$inc {:level 1}} :return-new true)

monger.js is deprecated

monger.js namespace is kept for backwards compatibility but is deprecated in favor of ClojureWerkz Support that now has exactly the same function in clojurewerkz.support.js. To add Support to your project with Leiningen, use

[clojurewerkz/support "0.3.0"]

Validateur 1.1.0

Several new operator macros: $size, $exists, $mod, $type, $not.

Clojure sets now can be serialized

Monger now supports serialization for all classes that implement java.util.Set, including Clojure sets.

Capped collection support

monger.collection/create provides a way to create collections with fine-tuned attributes (for example, capped collections) without having to use Java driver API.

clojure.core.cache integration

monger.cache is a new namespace for various cache implementations that adhere to the clojure.core.cache CacheProtocol protocol and sit on top of MongoDB

Clojure symbols now can be serialized

Monger now supports serialization for all classes that implement clojure.lang.Named, not just keywords.

Improved serialization performance

Thanks to faster paths for serialization of strings and dates (java.util.Date), mean time to insert 100,000 documents went down from about 1.7 seconds to about 0.5 seconds.

Changes between 1.0.0-beta3 and 1.0.0-beta4

Support for URI connections (and thus PaaS provides like Heroku)

monger.core/connect-via-uri! is a new function that combines monger.core/connect!, monger.core/set-db! and monger.core/authenticate and works with string URIs like mongodb://userb71148a:0da0a696f23a4ce1ecf6d11382633eb2049d728e@cluster1.mongohost.com:27034/app81766662.

It can be used to connect with or without authentication, for example:

;; connect without authentication
(monger.core/connect-via-uri! "mongodb://127.0.0.1/monger-test4")

;; connect with authentication
(monger.core/connect-via-uri! "mongodb://clojurewerkz/monger!:monger!@127.0.0.1/monger-test4")

;; connect using connection URI stored in an env variable, in this case, MONGOHQ_URL
(monger.core/connect-via-uri! (System/genenv "MONGOHQ_URL"))

It is also possible to pass connection options as query parameters:

(monger.core/connect-via-uri! "mongodb://localhost/test?maxPoolSize=128&waitQueueMultiple=5;waitQueueTimeoutMS=150;socketTimeoutMS=5500&autoConnectRetry=true;safe=false&w=1;wtimeout=2500;fsync=true")

Changes between 1.0.0-beta2 and 1.0.0-beta3

Support for field negation in queries

Previously to load only a subset of document fields with Monger, one had to specify them all. Starting with 1.0.0-beta3, Monger supports field negation feature of MongoDB: it is possible to exclude certain fields instead.

To do so, pass a map as field selector, with fields that should be omitted set to 0:

;; will retrieve all fields except body
(monger.collection/find-one-map "documents" {:author "John"} {:body 0})

Validateur 1.1.0-beta1

Validateur dependency has been upgraded to 1.1.0-beta1.

Index Options support for monger.collection/ensure-index and /create-index

monger.collection/ensure-index and /create-index now accept index options as additional argument. Breaking change: 3-arity versions of those functions now become 4-arity versions.

Support serialization of Clojure ratios

Documents that contain Clojure ratios (for example, 26/5) now can be converted to DBObject instances and thus stored. On load, ratios will be presented as doubles: this way we ensure interoperability with other languages and clients.

Factories/fixtures DSL

When working with even moderately complex data sets, fixture data quickly becomes difficult to maintain. Monger 1.0.0-beta3 introduce a new factories DSL that is inspired by (but does not try to copy) Ruby's Factory Girl and similar libraries.

It includes support dynamically evaluated attributes and support for two most common techniques for implementing associations between documents.

Here is what it feels like:

(defaults-for "domains"
  :ipv6-enabled false)

(factory "domains" "clojure"
         :name       "clojure.org"
         :created-at (-> 2 days ago)
         :embedded   [(embedded-doc "pages" "http://clojure.org/lisp")
                      (embedded-doc "pages" "http://clojure.org/jvm_hosted")
                      (embedded-doc "pages" "http://clojure.org/runtime_polymorphism")])

(factory "domains" "elixir"
         :name     "elixir-lang.org"
         :created-at (fn [] (now))
         :topics     (fn [] ["programming" "erlang" "beam" "ruby"])
         :related    {
                      :terms (fn [] ["erlang" "python" "ruby"])
                      })

(factory "pages" "http://clojure.org/rationale"
         :name "/rationale"
         :domain-id (parent-id "domains" "clojure"))
(factory "pages" "http://clojure.org/jvm_hosted"
         :name "/jvm_hosted")
(factory "pages" "http://clojure.org/runtime_polymorphism"
         :name "/runtime_polymorphism")
(factory "pages" "http://clojure.org/lisp"
         :name "/lisp")


(build "domains" "clojure" :created-at (-> 2 weeks ago))
(seed  "pages" "http://clojure.org/rationale")

Leiningen 2

Monger now uses Leiningen 2.

monger.core/set-connection!

monger.core/set-connection! allows you to instantiate connection object (com.mongodb.Mongo instances) any way you like and then use it as default Monger connection. MongoDB Java driver provides many ways to instantiate and fine tune connections, this is the easiest way for Monger to support them all.

2-arity for monger.core/connect and monger.core/connect!

monger.core/connect now has 2-arity that accepts com.mongodb.ServerAddresss and com.mongodb.MongoOptions instances and allows you fine tune parameters like socket and connection timeouts, default :w value, connection threads settings and so on.

monger.core/mongo-options and monger.core/server-address are helper functions that instantiate those classes from paramters passed as Clojure maps, for convenience.

Changes between 1.0.0-beta1 and 1.0.0-beta2

3-arity of monger.collection/find-one-as-map now takes a vector of fields

3-arity of monger.collection/find-one-as-map now takes a vector of fields instead of keywordize to better fit a more commonly needed case.

;; 3-arity in 1.0.0-beta1
(monger.collection/find-one-as-map "documents" { :first_name "John" } false)

;; 3-arity in 1.0.0-beta2
(monger.collection/find-one-as-map "documents" { :first_name "John" } [:first_name, :last_name, :age])

If you need to use keywordize, use 4-arity:

(monger.collection/find-one-as-map "documents" { :first_name "John" } [:first_name, :last_name, :age] false)

Query DSL has a way to specify if fields need to be keywordized

It is now possible to opt-out of field keywordization in the query DSL:

(with-collection coll
  (find {})
  (limit 3)
  (sort { :population -1 })
  (keywordize-fields false))

the default value is still true, field names will be converted to keywords.

monger.collection/find-by-id and /find-map-by-id fail fast when id is nil

monger.collection/find-by-id and /find-map-by-id now will throw IllegalArgumentException when id is nil

monger.collection/find-map-by-id no longer ignore fields argument

monger.collection/find-map-by-id no longer ignore fields argument. Contributed by Toby Hede.

Meet monger.db and monger.command

monger.db namespace was added to perform operations like adding users or dropping databases. Several functions from monger.core will eventually be moved there, but not for 1.0.

monger.command namespace includes convenience methods for issuing MongoDB commands.

Both are contributed by Toby Hede.

New convenience functions: monger.collection/update-by-id, /remove-by-id

monger.collection/update-by-id is a new convenience function for updating a single document with given ObjectId. monger.collection/remove-by-id is its counterpart for removing documents.

monger.core/get-db-names

monger.core/get-db-names returns a set of databases. Contributed by Toby Hede.
