MongoDB is an open-source, cross-platform, document-oriented NoSQL database used for high volume data storage. MongoDB is written in C++.
Using MongoDB with Laravel, We can use same eloquent functionality such as : first, all, get, take, skip, where, orWhere, whereIn, whereBetween, whereNull, orderBy, distinct etc.
In this Laravel MongoDB Tutorial, You will learn how to fetch records, insert, edit and delete the records.
For this example, I have used jenssegers/mongodb Package.
I assume that you have installed and configured mongodb database. You can also install mongodb by clicking the Install MongoDB Enterprise on Ubuntu.
Type mongo on the terminal to start with MongoDB shell.
>mongo
You will get following message on screen :
MongoDB shell version v3.6.5 connecting to: mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017 MongoDB server version: 3.6.5 Welcome to the MongoDB shell.
MongoDB Enterprise > use demodatabase
switched to db demodatabase
db.categories.insert( { "category": "PHP Tutorials", "slug": "php-tutorials" } )
In this step, I will download the fresh Laravel application to start from the scratch.
composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel laravelmongodbStep 3: Configure MongoDB Database
Now we will configure the database details to connect with MongoDB.
.envMONGO_DB_HOST=127.0.0.1 MONGO_DB_PORT=27017 MONGO_DB_DATABASE=demodatabase MONGO_DB_USERNAME= MONGO_DB_PASSWORD=
Now we need to add array connection details on database.php config file. so let's add this way:
....
'connections' => [
......
'mongodb' => [
'driver' => 'mongodb',
'host' => env('MONGO_DB_HOST', 'localhost'),
'port' => env('MONGO_DB_PORT', 27017),
'database' => env('MONGO_DB_DATABASE'),
'username' => env('MONGO_DB_USERNAME'),
'password' => env('MONGO_DB_PASSWORD'),
'options' => []
],
]
Step 4: Install Laravel MongoDB Package
In this step, I will install the jenssegers/mongodb package in our application.
composer require jenssegers/mongodb
Now register the MongodbServiceProvider in app.php within config directory.
....
'providers' => [
....
Jenssegers\Mongodb\MongodbServiceProvider::class,
]
.....
Step 5: Create a Model
In this step, I will create a model by running following command :
php artisan make:model Category
Now update the "Model.php" with following line of code to establish models for corresponding collections.
namespace App;
use Jenssegers\Mongodb\Eloquent\Model as Eloquent;
class Category extends Eloquent
{
protected $connection = 'mongodb';
protected $collection = 'categories';
/**
* The attributes that are mass assignable.
*
* @var array
*/
protected $fillable = [
'category', 'slug'
];
}
In this step, I will add a resource route for crud operation.
routes/web.phpRoute::resource('categories','CategoryController');
Step 7: Add Category Controller
In this step, I will create a "CategoryController.php" file to perform crud action.
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Category;
class CategoryController extends Controller
{
public function index()
{
$categories = Category::latest()->paginate(10);
return view('categories.index',compact('categories'))
->with('i', (request()->input('page', 1) - 1) * 5);
}
public function create()
{
return view('categories.create');
}
public function store(Request $request)
{
request()->validate([
'category' => 'required'
]);
$slug=str_slug($request->category);
Category::create($request->all()+['slug'=>$slug]);
return redirect()->route('categories.index')
->with('success','Category created successfully');
}
public function edit(Category $category)
{
return view('categories.edit',compact('category'));
}
public function update(Request $request,Category $category)
{
request()->validate([
'category' => 'required'
]);
$slug=str_slug($request->category);
$category->update($request->all()+['slug'=>$slug]);
return redirect()->route('categories.index')
->with('success','Category updated successfully');
}
public function destroy($id)
{
Category::destroy($id);
return redirect()->route('categories.index')
->with('success','Category deleted successfully');
}
}
To perform the crud activity, I need below files :
- app.blade.php
- index.blade.php
- create.blade.php
- edit.blade.php
