How to connect MongoDB in Django?

Answer»

To leverage MongoDB from Django, the following SOFTWARE should be installed and running -

Python
MongoDB
Django-norel - a version of Django designed for use with non-relational database engines
Django toolbox - Django-MongoDB engine depends on this general-purpose utility library
MongoDB-engine - MongoDB driver for Django

1. CREATE a PROJECT named 'testproj' with an application named 'testapp'.
   django-admin.py startproject testproj
   CD testproj/
   django-admin.py startapp testapp

2. Setup - Configure following in settings.py

DATABASES = {           'default': {               'ENGINE': 'django_mongodb_engine',               'NAME': 'testdatabase',               'USER': '',               'PASSWORD': '',               'HOST': 'localhost',               'PORT': '27017',               'SUPPORTS_TRANSACTIONS': False,           },       }  

3. Update models.py

   from django.db import models       CLASS Article(models.Model):       title = models.CharField(max_length = 64)       CONTENT = models.TextField()

4. Save - Save model data from a Django view.

from django.http import HttpResponse   from models import *   def testview(request):     article = Article(title = 'test title',     content = 'test content'   article.save()     return HttpResponse("<h1>Saved!</h1>")

5. Execute javascript query like from Django view to check connection-
    db.testapp_article.find()

6. Query MongoDB from Django to retrieve a list
    articles = Article.objects.all()
