NAME
    Mojolicious::Plugin::Mongodb - Use MongoDB in Mojolicious

VERSION
    version 1.07

SYNOPSIS
    Provides a few helpers to ease the use of MongoDB in your Mojolicious
    application.

        use Mojolicious::Plugin::Mongodb

        sub startup {
            my $self = shift;
            $self->plugin('mongodb', { 
                host => 'localhost',
                port => 27017,
                database => 'default_database',
                helper => 'db',
                });
        }

CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
        helper      (optional)  The name to give to the easy-access helper if you want to change it's name from the default
        no_helper   (optional)  When set to true, no helper will be installed.
        database    (optional)  Set a default database you want to operate on

    All other options passed to the plugin are used to connect to MongoDB.

HELPERS/ATTRIBUTES
  connection
    This attribute has been deprecated in favor of mongodb_connection.

  mongodb_connection
    This plugin attribute holds the MongoDB::Connection object, use this if
    you need to access it for some reason.

  db([dbname])
    This helper will return the database you specify, if you don't specify
    one, then the default database is returned. If no default has been set
    and you have not specified a database name, undef will be returned. If
    you have renamed the helper, use that name instead of 'db' in the
    example below :)

        sub someaction {
            my $self = shift;

            # select a database yourself
            $self->db('my_snazzy_database')->get_collection('foo')->insert({ bar => 'baz' });

            # if you passed 'my_snazzy_database' during plugin load as the default, this is equivalent:
            $self->db->get_collection('foo')->insert({ bar => 'baz' });

            # if you want to be anal retentive about things in case no default exists and no database was passed:
            $self->db and $self->db->get_collection('foo')->insert({ bar => 'baz' });
        }

  coll(collname, [dbname])
    This helper allows easy access to a collection. If you don't pass the
    dbname argument, it will return the given collection inside the default
    database. If no default database exists, it will return undef.

        sub someaction {
            my $self = shift;

            # get the 'foo' collection in the default database
            my $collection = $self->coll('foo');

            # get the 'bar' collection in the 'baz' database
            my $collection = $self->coll('bar', 'baz');
        }

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
    Based on Mojolicious::Plugin::Database because I don't want to leave the
    MongoDB crowd in the cold.

    Thanks to Henk van Oers for pointing out a few errors in the
    documentation, and letting me know I should really fix the MANIFEST
