       Catmandu::Store::MongoDB - A searchable store backed by MongoDB

SYNOPSIS

           # On the command line
           $ catmandu import -v JSON --multiline 1 to MongoDB --database_name bibliography --bag books < books.json
           $ catmandu export MongoDB --database_name bibliography --bag books to YAML
           $ catmandu count MongoDB --database_name bibliography --bag books --query '{"PublicationYear": "1937"}'

           # In perl
           use Catmandu::Store::MongoDB;

           my $store = Catmandu::Store::MongoDB->new(database_name => 'test');

           my $obj1 = $store->bag->add({ name => 'Patrick' });

           printf "obj1 stored as %s\n" , $obj1->{_id};

           # Force an id in the store
           my $obj2 = $store->bag->add({ _id => 'test123' , name => 'Nicolas' });

           my $obj3 = $store->bag->get('test123');

           $store->bag->delete('test123');

           $store->bag->delete_all;

           # All bags are iterators
           $store->bag->each(sub { ... });
           $store->bag->take(10)->each(sub { ... });

           # Search
           my $hits = $store->bag->search(query => '{"name":"Patrick"}');
           my $hits = $store->bag->search(query => '{"name":"Patrick"}' , sort => { age => -1} );
           my $hits = $store->bag->search(query => {name => "Patrick"} , start => 0 , limit => 100);
           my $hits = $store->bag->search(query => {name => "Patrick"} , fields => {_id => 0, name => 1});

           my $next_page = $hits->next_page;
           my $hits = $store->bag->search(query => '{"name":"Patrick"}' , page => $next_page);

           my $iterator = $store->bag->searcher(query => {name => "Patrick"});
           my $iterator = $store->bag->searcher(query => {name => "Patrick"}, fields => {_id => 0, name => 1});

           # Catmandu::Store::MongoDB supports CQL...
           my $hits = $store->bag->search(cql_query => 'name any "Patrick"');

DESCRIPTION

       A Catmandu::Store::MongoDB is a Perl package that can store data into MongoDB databases.
       The database as a whole is called a 'store'.  Databases also have compartments (e.g.
       tables) called Catmandu::Bag-s.

METHODS

   new(database_name => $name, %connectio_opts)
   new(database_name => $name , bags => { data => { cql_mapping => $cql_mapping } })
       Create a new Catmandu::Store::MongoDB store with name $name. Optionally provide connection
       parameters (see MongoDB::MongoClient for possible options).

       The store supports CQL searches when a cql_mapping is provided. This hash contains a
       translation of CQL fields into MongoDB searchable fields.

        # Example mapping
        $cql_mapping = {
            indexes => {
                 title => {
                   op => {
                     'any'   => 1 ,
                     'all'   => 1 ,
                     '='     => 1 ,
                     '<>'    => 1 ,
                     'exact' => {field => [qw(mytitle.exact myalttitle.exact)]}
                   } ,
                   sort  => 1,
                   field => 'mytitle',
                   cb    => ['Biblio::Search', 'normalize_title']
                 }
           }
        }

       The CQL mapping above will support for the 'title' field the CQL operators:
        any, all, =, <> and exact.

       The 'title' field will be mapped into the MongoDB field 'mytitle', except for the 'exact'
       operator. In case of 'exact' both the 'mytitle.exact' and 'myalttitle.exact' fields will
       be searched.

       The CQL mapping allows for sorting on the 'title' field. If, for instance, we would like
       to use a special MongoDB field for sorting we could have written "sort => { field =>
       'mytitle.sort' }".

       The CQL has an optional callback field 'cb' which contains a reference to subroutines to
       rewrite or augment the search query. In this case, in the Biblio::Search package contains
       a normalize_title subroutine which returns a string or an ARRAY of string with augmented
       title(s). E.g.

           package Biblio::Search;

           sub normalize_title {
              my ($self,$title) = @_;
              # delete all bad characters
              my $new_title =~ s{[^A-Z0-9]+}{}g;
              $new_title;
           }

           1;

   bag($name)
       Create or retieve a bag with name $name. Returns a Catmandu::Bag.

   client
       Return the MongoDB::MongoClient instance.

   database
       Return a MongoDB::Database instance.

   drop
       Delete the store and all it's bags.

Search

       Search the database: see Catmandu::Searchable. This module supports an additional search
       parameter:

           - fields => { <field> => <0|1> } : limit fields to return from a query (see L<MongoDB Tutorial|https://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/project-fields-from-query-results/>)
