revmgo

mgo module for revel framework

Module Use

app.conf

Settings can be configured via the following directives in app.conf.

revmgo.dial

Please review the documentation at mgo.Session.Dial() for information on the syntax and valid settings.

revmgo.method

This can be one of 'clone', 'copy', 'new'. See mgo.Session.New() for more information.

app.init()

Add the following inside the app.init() function in app/init.go.

revel.OnAppStart(revmgo.AppInit)

controllers.init()

Similarly for your controllers init() function you must add the revmgo.ControllerInit() method. A minimum app/controllers/init.go file is represented below.

package controllers

import "github.com/apaoww/revmgo"

func init() {
    revmgo.ControllerInit()
}

Embedding the controller

In any controller you want to have mongo connectivity you must include the MongoController.

Add the following import line in source files that will embed MongoController.

 "github.com/apaoww/revmgo"

Embed the MongoController on your custom controller;

type Application struct {
	*revel.Controller
  revmgo.MongoController
	// Other fields
}

Your controller will now have a MongoSession variable of type *mgo.Session. Use this to query your mongo datastore.
