Mongo Support

[timwford]

Probably use ODMantic: https://github.com/art049/odmantic

How would you test the implementation? mock a mongo db?

I agree. We should support mongo support mongo. I think it would be fairly easy with odmantic! Alternatively just the motor and pydantic could work.

Testing mongo could be done with docker potentially

+1 for motor and pydantic instead of odmantic

Hello! I'm resurrecting this thread to recommend https://roman-right.github.io/beanie/ as the ODM for this ticket.

Also, there is now support for mocking out motor during unit tests that don't really need a full running mongodb: https://github.com/michaelkryukov/mongomock_motor

Hello everyone! Any news on this ?

Is this (using crudrouter with mongodb) currently possible in any way (even hacky), or is it just not supported?

[tclasen]

I was able to get it working with Beanie in a fork, I just didn't finish out the typing to get it to pass mypy. It is very possible.

[michele-tasca]

I could definitely use that fork!😁

If typing requires some work, I'd be happy to work on it if you want, so we can open a pull request.

Idk if this repo is still mantained, but the docs say the list of supported DBs is supposed to grow so..

@tclasen where can one find the fork? Could you please send the link?

[dclimber]

It is indeed possible to make it work with Beanie — working on it.

[tclasen]

Hey, @dclimber , sorry I missed your original tag. I'd happily assist you with building this out. Maybe even @killswitch-GUI would want to take a look at this as well.

[dclimber]

@tclasen cool! I've made it work — the BeanieCRUDRouter, based it on OrmarCRUDRouter, as they have pydantic's BaseModel in common. Manual tests during 'experiments' succeeded.
Now I need to write the actual tests, and I guess it's ready :)
