Go-Express

Simple Mongo client for Go. The package aims to match Express seamless integration with NodeJs and MongoDb.

Index

Requirements

• MongoDb (access to a server)
• Mgo

Dependencies

(GoDeps supported as well.) Manually:

	go get github.com/asaskevich/govalidator
	go get gopkg.in/mgo.v2

install

go get github.com/cheikhshift/db

Import

import (
	"log" //optional
	"github.com/cheikhshift/db"
)

Connect

The snippet below will connect to your database @ your localhost

dbs,err := db.Connect("localhost","database") 
if err != nil {
	log.Fatal(err)
}

Format of server URI :

[mongodb://][user:pass@]host1[:port1][,host2[:port2],...][/database][?options]

Add new model

Define a new struct as usual (fields Created and Id are system generated) :

type MyObject struct {
	Id bson.ObjectId `bson:"_id,omitempty"`
	TestField string `valid:"unique"`
	FieldTwo string `valid:"email,required"`
	Created time.Time //timestamp local format
}

The following tag will ensure no duplicates happen while saving.

TestField string `valid:"unique"`

The following tag valid will ensure your field data is an email.

 FieldTwo string `valid:"email,required"`

Save a model

obj := NewObject{FieldTwo: "value" }
dbs.New(&obj)	
err = dbs.Save(&obj)
if err != nil {
	log.Fatal(err)
}

Retrieve model

The following query will return one object. Within the Find function you may use all of the usual Mongo DB query functions. Remember to add strings even around $ prefixed parameters. The following example will retrieve one result. Any struct field is converted to lower case on database save, when performing a query type struct field names without capital letters.

query := MyObject{}
dbs.Q(query).Find(db.O{"fieldtwo":"value"}).One(&query)

fmt.Println(query)

Delete model

This function will fail if your struct's Id field is blank.

obj := NewObject{FieldTwo: "value" }
err := dbs.Add(&obj)	
if err != nil {
	log.Fatal(err)
}


dbs.Remove(&obj)
