THIS IS UNSTABLE PROJECT, IF YOU WANT TO USE IT - FIX WHAT YOU NEED
Right now we're targeting to get things working on Django 1.9
- [x] sessions
- [x] models/fields
- [?] auth, need testing
- [x] views.ListView
- [ ] views.*
- [ ] admin
- Fix tests/
- Fix example app: example/tumblelog
- Sync some files/docs that removed from mongoengine: https://github.com/seglberg/mongoengine/commit/a34f4c1beb93f430c37da20c8fd96ce02a0f20c1?diff=unified
- Add docs for integrating: https://github.com/hmarr/django-debug-toolbar-mongo
- Take a look at django-mongotools: https://github.com/wpjunior/django-mongotools
In your settings.py file, add following lines:
MONGODB_DATABASES = {
"default": {
"name": database_name,
"host": database_host,
"password": database_password,
"username": database_user,
"tz_aware": True, # if you using timezones in django (USE_TZ = True)
},
}
INSTALLED_APPS += ["django_mongoengine"]
Django allows the use of different backend stores for its sessions. MongoEngine provides a MongoDB-based session backend for Django, which allows you to use sessions in your Django application with just MongoDB. To enable the MongoEngine session backend, ensure that your settings module has 'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware'
in the MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES
field and 'django.contrib.sessions'
in your INSTALLED_APPS
. From there, all you need to do is add the following line into your settings module:
SESSION_ENGINE = 'django_mongoengine.sessions'
SESSION_SERIALIZER = 'django_mongoengine.sessions.BSONSerializer'
Django provides session cookie, which expires after `SESSION_COOKIE_AGE
seconds, but doesn't delete cookie at sessions backend, so 'mongoengine.django.sessions' supports `mongodb TTL <http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/expire-data/>_.
Note
SESSION_SERIALIZER
is only necessary in Django>1.6 as the default serializer is based around JSON and doesn't know how to convert bson.objectid.ObjectId
instances to strings.
