Nim MongoDB

Introduction to Mongonim

Mongonim is a Nim library that facilitates interaction with MongoDB, a popular NoSQL database. It allows developers to leverage MongoDB's document-based data model within Nim applications.

Installing Mongonim

Before you can use Mongonim, you need to install the library in your Nim environment. This can be done using Nimble, Nim's package manager.

Connecting to MongoDB

To connect to a MongoDB database, you'll need to use the connection string provided by your MongoDB instance. Here is a basic example of how to establish a connection using Mongonim:

Performing CRUD Operations

CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations are fundamental when working with databases. Below are examples of how to perform these operations using Mongonim.

Creating a Document

To create a document, you'll need to specify the collection and insert your data as a JSON object.

Reading Documents

Reading documents involves querying the database. Here's how to fetch all documents from a collection:

Updating Documents

To update existing documents, specify a query to match the documents and define the updates to apply.

Deleting Documents

Deleting documents requires a query to select the documents to be removed.

Conclusion

Integrating MongoDB with Nim using Mongonim is straightforward and powerful, allowing for efficient document-based data handling. By following the examples provided, you can perform essential database operations within your Nim applications.
