Introduction

It is a blog manager tool made with Laravel 9 & MongoDB.

Installation

Assuming your machine meets all requirements - let's process to installation of Metronic Laravel integration (skeleton).

1. Open in cmd or terminal app and navigate to this folder
2. Run following commands

composer install

cp .env.example .env

php artisan key:generate

php artisan migrate

php artisan db:seed

php artisan serve

And navigate to generated server link (http://127.0.0.1:8000)

MongoDB Driver Setup

Install the package via Composer:

$ composer require jenssegers/mongodb

In case your Laravel version does NOT autoload the packages, add the service provider to config/app.php:

Jenssegers\Mongodb\MongodbServiceProvider::class,

Configuration

You can use MongoDB either as the main database, either as a side database. To do so, add a new mongodb connection to config/database.php:

'mongodb' => [
    'driver' => 'mongodb',
    'host' => env('DB_HOST', '127.0.0.1'),
    'port' => env('DB_PORT', 27017),
    'database' => env('DB_DATABASE', 'homestead'),
    'username' => env('DB_USERNAME', 'homestead'),
    'password' => env('DB_PASSWORD', 'secret'),
    'options' => [
        // here you can pass more settings to the Mongo Driver Manager
        // see https://www.php.net/manual/en/mongodb-driver-manager.construct.php under "Uri Options" for a list of complete parameters that you can use

        'database' => env('DB_AUTHENTICATION_DATABASE', 'admin'), // required with Mongo 3+
    ],
],

For multiple servers or replica set configurations, set the host to an array and specify each server host:

'mongodb' => [
    'driver' => 'mongodb',
    'host' => ['server1', 'server2', ...],
    ...
    'options' => [
        'replicaSet' => 'rs0',
    ],
],

Eloquent

Extending the base model

This package includes a MongoDB enabled Eloquent class that you can use to define models for corresponding collections.

use Jenssegers\Mongodb\Eloquent\Model;

class Book extends Model
{
    //
}

Just like a normal model, the MongoDB model class will know which collection to use based on the model name. For Book, the collection books will be used.

To change the collection, pass the $collection property:

use Jenssegers\Mongodb\Eloquent\Model;

class Book extends Model
{
    protected $collection = 'my_books_collection';
}
