## Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.1.0-alpha1 ### Alternative, Clojure reader-based Ring session store implementation Monger 1.1 will have an alternative Ring session store uses Clojure reader serialization This way libraries like Friend, that use namespaced keywords (like `::identity`) and other Clojure-specific data structures will work well with Monger. Current store will strip off namespace information from namespaced keywords because clojure.core/name work that way. For example: ``` clojure (name ::identity) ``` Reported by Julio Barros. ## Changes between 1.0.0-rc2 and 1.0.0 ### Extended support for BSON serialization for Joda Time types `monger.joda-time` previously only extended BSON (DBObjects) conversion protocol for `org.joda.time.DateTime`. While `DateTime` is the most commonly used type in JodaTime, plenty of other types are also used and may need to be stored in MongoDB documents. Now Monger handles serialization for all JodaTime types that inherit from `org.joda.time.base.AbstractInstant`, for example, `org.joda.time.DateTime` and `org.joda.time.DateMidnight`. ## Changes between 1.0.0-rc1 and 1.0.0-rc2 ### Ragtime integration Monger now provides an adapter for [Ragtime, a generic Clojure library for data migrations](https://github.com/weavejester/ragtime) (evolutions). It is in the `monger.ragtime` namespace. To use Ragtime with Monger, you need to add dependencies on both Ragtime core and Monger to your project. An example with Leiningen: ``` clojure :dependencies [[org.clojure/clojure "1.4.0"] [com.novemberain/monger "1.0.0-rc2"] [ragtime/ragtime.core "0.2.0"]] ``` Then require `monger.ragtime` and use Ragtime as usual, passing it a database instance you get via `monger.core/get-db`. Monger will persist information about migrations using the `FSYNC_SAFE` write concern. ### Query DSL no longer seq()s the cursor Query DSL will no longer apply `clojure.core/seq` to the underlying cursor, thus guaranteeing to return an empty sequence when there are no results. This gives developers better control over what do they want to get back: an empty sequence or nil. In the latter case, they will just manually apply `clojure.core/seq` to the result. ### More flexible monger.collection/ensure-index and monger.collection/create-index `monger.collection/ensure-index` and `monger.collection/ensure-index` now accept fields to index as a collection (e.g. a vector) as well as a map. It is convenient when creating multiple single-field indexes at once. ## Changes between 1.0.0-beta8 and 1.0.0-rc1 ### Documentation improvements [Documentation guides](http://clojuremongodb.info) have been greatly improved and now include several new guides: * [Storing files on GridFS with Clojure](http://clojuremongodb.info/articles/gridfs.html) * [Using Map/Reduce](http://clojuremongodb.info/articles/mapreduce.html) * [Using MongoDB Commands](http://clojuremongodb.info/articles/commands.html) * [Using MongoDB 2.2 Aggregation Framework with Clojure](http://clojuremongodb.info/articles/aggregation.html) ### monger.core/current-db `monger.core/current-db` returns the currently used database. ### monger.core/use-db! `monger.core/use-db!` composes `monger.core/set-db!` and `monger.core/get-db`: ``` clojure (ns my.service (:use [monger.core :only [set-db! use-db! get-db]])) ;; equivalent (use-db! "my_product") (set-db! (get-db "my_product")) ``` ### monger.result/ok? now works on Clojure maps `monger.result/ok?` has been implemented for Clojure maps. ## Changes between 1.0.0-beta7 and 1.0.0-beta8 ### GridFS support improvements Monger finally has a higher-level DSL for storing files on GridFS ``` clojure (ns my.service (:use [monger.gridfs :only [store-file make-input-file filename content-type metadata]])) ;; store a file from a local FS path with the given filename, content type and metadata (store-file (make-input-file "/path/to/a/local/file.png") (filename "image.png") (metadata {:format "png"}) (content-type "image/png")) ``` There are also querying improvements: `monger.gridfs/find-maps` and `monger.gridfs/find-one-as-map` are new functions that were added. They serve the same purposes as `monger.collection/find-maps` and `monger.collection/find-one-as-map`, making it easy to work with Clojure data structures all the time. `monger.gridfs/files-as-maps` works the same way as `monger.gridfs/all-files` but returns results as Clojure maps. It is to `monger.gridfs/all-files` what `monger.collection/find-maps` is to `monger.collection/find`. ### MongoDB 2.1/2.2 Aggregation Framework support `monger.collection/aggregate` provides a convenient way to run [aggregation queries](http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/aggregation/). ``` clojure (ns my.service (:require [monger.collection :as mc]) (:use monger.operators)) ;; single stage pipeline (mc/aggregate "docs" [{$project {:subtotal {$multiply ["$quantity", "$price"]} :_id "$state"}}]) ;; two stage pipeline (mc/aggregate "docs" [{$project {:subtotal {$multiply ["$quantity", "$price"]} :_id 1 :state 1}} {$group {:_id "$state" :total {$sum "$subtotal"}}}]) ``` The following couple of tests demonstrates aggregation queries with some sample data: ``` clojure (deftest ^{:edge-features true} test-basic-projection-with-multiplication (let [collection "docs" batch [{ :state "CA" :quantity 1 :price 199.00 } { :state "NY" :quantity 2 :price 199.00 } { :state "NY" :quantity 1 :price 299.00 } { :state "IL" :quantity 2 :price 11.50 } { :state "CA" :quantity 2 :price 2.95 } { :state "IL" :quantity 3 :price 5.50 }] expected [{:_id "NY" :subtotal 398.0} {:_id "NY" :subtotal 299.0} {:_id "IL" :subtotal 23.0} {:_id "CA" :subtotal 5.9} {:_id "IL" :subtotal 16.5} {:_id "CA" :subtotal 199.0}]] (mc/insert-batch collection batch) (let [result (vec (mc/aggregate "docs" [{$project {:subtotal {$multiply ["$quantity", "$price"]} :_id "$state"}}]))] (is (= expected result))))) (deftest ^{:edge-features true} test-basic-total-aggregation (let [collection "docs" batch [{ :state "CA" :quantity 1 :price 199.00 } { :state "NY" :quantity 2 :price 199.00 } { :state "NY" :quantity 1 :price 299.00 } { :state "IL" :quantity 2 :price 11.50 } { :state "CA" :quantity 2 :price 2.95 } { :state "IL" :quantity 3 :price 5.50 }] expected [{:_id "CA", :total 204.9} {:_id "IL", :total 39.5} {:_id "NY", :total 697.0}]] (mc/insert-batch collection batch) (let [result (vec (mc/aggregate "docs" [{$project {:subtotal {$multiply ["$quantity", "$price"]} :_id 1 :state 1}} {$group {:_id "$state" :total {$sum "$subtotal"}}}]))] (is (= expected result))))) ``` The aggregation framework is an edge feature that will be available in MongoDB 2.2. ### More Operators Two new operator macros: `$regex`, `$options` and those used by the upcoming [MongoDB 2.2 Aggregation framework](http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/applications/aggregation/). ## Changes between 1.0.0-beta6 and 1.0.0-beta7 ### Replica sets support Monger can now connect to replica sets using one or more seeds when calling `monger.core/connect` with a collection of server addresses instead of just a single one: ``` clojure (ns my.service (:use monger.core)) ;; Connect to a single MongoDB instance (connect (server-address "127.0.0.1" 27017) (mongo-options)) ;; Connect to a replica set (connect [(server-address "127.0.0.1" 27017) (server-address "127.0.0.1" 27018)] (mongo-options)) ``` `monger.core/connect!` works exactly the same way. Contributed by [Baishampayan Ghose](https://github.com/ghoseb). ### ring.session.store implementation Monger now features a [Ring session store](https://github.com/mmcgrana/ring/blob/master/ring-core/src/ring/middleware/session/store.clj) implementation. To use it, require `monger.ring.session-store` and use `monger.ring.session-store/monger-store` function like so: ``` clojure (ns my.service (:use monger.ring.session-store)) (let [store (monger-store "web_sessions")] ...) ``` ## Changes between 1.0.0-beta5 and 1.0.0-beta6 ### find-and-modify support `monger.collection/find-and-modify` function implements [atomic Find and Modify](http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/findAndModify+Command) command. It is similar to the "regular" update operations but atomically modifies a document (at most one) and returns it. An example: ``` clojure (mgcol/find-and-modify "scoreboard" {:name "Sophie Bangs"} {$inc {:level 1}} :return-new true) ``` Contributed by [Baishampayan Ghose](https://github.com/ghoseb). ### monger.js is deprecated `monger.js` namespace is kept for backwards compatibility but is deprecated in favor of [ClojureWerkz Support](http://github.com/clojurewerkz/support) that now has exactly the same function in `clojurewerkz.support.js`. To add Support to your project with Leiningen, use ``` clojure [clojurewerkz/support "0.3.0"] ``` ### Validateur 1.1.0 [Validateur](https://github.com/michaelklishin/validateur) dependency has been upgraded to 1.1.0. ## Changes between 1.0.0-beta4 and 1.0.0-beta5 ### More Operators Several new operator macros: `$size`, `$exists`, `$mod`, `$type`, `$not`. ### Clojure sets now can be serialized Monger now supports serialization for all classes that implement `java.util.Set`, including Clojure sets. ### Capped collection support `monger.collection/create` provides a way to create collections with fine-tuned attributes (for example, capped collections) without having to use Java driver API. ### clojure.core.cache integration `monger.cache` is a new namespace for various cache implementations that adhere to the [clojure.core.cache](github.com/clojure/core.cache) `CacheProtocol` protocol and sit on top of MongoDB ### Clojure symbols now can be serialized Monger now supports serialization for all classes that implement `clojure.lang.Named`, not just keywords. ### Improved serialization performance Thanks to faster paths for serialization of strings and dates (java.util.Date), mean time to insert 100,000 documents went down from about 1.7 seconds to about 0.5 seconds. ## Changes between 1.0.0-beta3 and 1.0.0-beta4 ### Support for URI connections (and thus PaaS provides like Heroku) `monger.core/connect-via-uri!` is a new function that combines `monger.core/connect!`, `monger.core/set-db!` and `monger.core/authenticate` and works with string URIs like `mongodb://userb71148a:0da0a696f23a4ce1ecf6d11382633eb2049d728e@cluster1.mongohost.com:27034/app81766662`. It can be used to connect with or without authentication, for example: ``` clojure ;; connect without authentication (monger.core/connect-via-uri! "mongodb://127.0.0.1/monger-test4") ;; connect with authentication (monger.core/connect-via-uri! "mongodb://clojurewerkz/monger!:monger!@127.0.0.1/monger-test4") ;; connect using connection URI stored in an env variable, in this case, MONGOHQ_URL (monger.core/connect-via-uri! (System/genenv "MONGOHQ_URL")) ``` It is also possible to pass connection options as query parameters: ``` clojure (monger.core/connect-via-uri! "mongodb://localhost/test?maxPoolSize=128&waitQueueMultiple=5;waitQueueTimeoutMS=150;socketTimeoutMS=5500&autoConnectRetry=true;safe=false&w=1;wtimeout=2500;fsync=true") ``` ## Changes between 1.0.0-beta2 and 1.0.0-beta3 ### Support for field negation in queries Previously to load only a subset of document fields with Monger, one had to specify them all. Starting with 1.0.0-beta3, Monger supports [field negation](http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Retrieving+a+Subset+of+Fields#RetrievingaSubsetofFields-FieldNegation) feature of MongoDB: it is possible to exclude certain fields instead. To do so, pass a map as field selector, with fields that should be omitted set to 0: ``` clojure ;; will retrieve all fields except body (monger.collection/find-one-map "documents" {:author "John"} {:body 0}) ``` ### Validateur 1.1.0-beta1 [Validateur](https://github.com/michaelklishin/validateur) dependency has been upgraded to 1.1.0-beta1. ### Index Options support for monger.collection/ensure-index and /create-index `monger.collection/ensure-index` and `/create-index` now accept index options as additional argument. **Breaking change**: 3-arity versions of those functions now become 4-arity versions. ### Support serialization of Clojure ratios Documents that contain Clojure ratios (for example, `26/5`) now can be converted to DBObject instances and thus stored. On load, ratios will be presented as doubles: this way we ensure interoperability with other languages and clients. ### Factories/fixtures DSL When working with even moderately complex data sets, fixture data quickly becomes difficult to maintain. Monger 1.0.0-beta3 introduce a new factories DSL that is inspired by (but does not try to copy) Ruby's Factory Girl and similar libraries. It includes support dynamically evaluated attributes and support for two most common techniques for implementing associations between documents. Here is what it feels like: ``` clojure (defaults-for "domains" :ipv6-enabled false) (factory "domains" "clojure" :name "clojure.org" :created-at (-> 2 days ago) :embedded [(embedded-doc "pages" "http://clojure.org/lisp") (embedded-doc "pages" "http://clojure.org/jvm_hosted") (embedded-doc "pages" "http://clojure.org/runtime_polymorphism")]) (factory "domains" "elixir" :name "elixir-lang.org" :created-at (fn [] (now)) :topics (fn [] ["programming" "erlang" "beam" "ruby"]) :related { :terms (fn [] ["erlang" "python" "ruby"]) }) (factory "pages" "http://clojure.org/rationale" :name "/rationale" :domain-id (parent-id "domains" "clojure")) (factory "pages" "http://clojure.org/jvm_hosted" :name "/jvm_hosted") (factory "pages" "http://clojure.org/runtime_polymorphism" :name "/runtime_polymorphism") (factory "pages" "http://clojure.org/lisp" :name "/lisp") (build "domains" "clojure" :created-at (-> 2 weeks ago)) (seed "pages" "http://clojure.org/rationale") ``` ### Leiningen 2 Monger now uses [Leiningen 2](https://github.com/technomancy/leiningen/wiki/Upgrading). ### monger.core/set-connection! monger.core/set-connection! allows you to instantiate connection object (com.mongodb.Mongo instances) any way you like and then use it as default Monger connection. MongoDB Java driver provides many ways to instantiate and fine tune connections, this is the easiest way for Monger to support them all. ### 2-arity for monger.core/connect and monger.core/connect! monger.core/connect now has 2-arity that accepts `com.mongodb.ServerAddresss` and `com.mongodb.MongoOptions` instances and allows you fine tune parameters like socket and connection timeouts, default `:w` value, connection threads settings and so on. `monger.core/mongo-options` and `monger.core/server-address` are helper functions that instantiate those classes from paramters passed as Clojure maps, for convenience. ## Changes between 1.0.0-beta1 and 1.0.0-beta2 ### 3-arity of monger.collection/find-one-as-map now takes a vector of fields 3-arity of monger.collection/find-one-as-map now takes a vector of fields instead of `keywordize` to better fit a more commonly needed case. ``` clojure ;; 3-arity in 1.0.0-beta1 (monger.collection/find-one-as-map "documents" { :first_name "John" } false) ``` ``` clojure ;; 3-arity in 1.0.0-beta2 (monger.collection/find-one-as-map "documents" { :first_name "John" } [:first_name, :last_name, :age]) ``` If you need to use `keywordize`, use 4-arity: ``` clojure (monger.collection/find-one-as-map "documents" { :first_name "John" } [:first_name, :last_name, :age] false) ``` ### Query DSL has a way to specify if fields need to be keywordized It is now possible to opt-out of field keywordization in the query DSL: ``` clojure (with-collection coll (find {}) (limit 3) (sort { :population -1 }) (keywordize-fields false)) ``` the default value is still true, field names will be converted to keywords. ### monger.collection/find-by-id and /find-map-by-id fail fast when id is nil monger.collection/find-by-id and /find-map-by-id now will throw IllegalArgumentException when id is nil ### monger.collection/find-map-by-id no longer ignore fields argument monger.collection/find-map-by-id no longer ignore fields argument. Contributed by Toby Hede. ### Meet monger.db and monger.command `monger.db` namespace was added to perform operations like adding users or dropping databases. Several functions from `monger.core` will eventually be moved there, but not for 1.0. `monger.command` namespace includes convenience methods for issuing MongoDB commands. Both are contributed by Toby Hede. ### New convenience functions: monger.collection/update-by-id, /remove-by-id `monger.collection/update-by-id` is a new convenience function for updating a single document with given ObjectId. `monger.collection/remove-by-id` is its counterpart for removing documents. ### monger.core/get-db-names monger.core/get-db-names returns a set of databases. Contributed by Toby Hede.
