DO NOT CLONE UNTIL STABLE
- sessions
- auth? need testing
- Fix tests/
- Fix example app: example/tumblelog
- Sync some files/docs that removed from mongoengine: https://github.com/seglberg/mongoengine/commit/a34f4c1beb93f430c37da20c8fd96ce02a0f20c1?diff=unified
- remove debug-toolbar support, add docs for integrating: https://github.com/hmarr/django-debug-toolbar-mongo (becouse it's not dead)
In your settings.py file, add following lines:
MONGODB_DATABASES = {
"default": {
"name": database_name,
"host": database_host,
"password": database_password,
"username": database_user,
"tz_aware": True, # if you using timezones in django (USE_TZ = True)
},
}
Django allows the use of different backend stores for its sessions. MongoEngine
provides a MongoDB-based session backend for Django, which allows you to use
sessions in your Django application with just MongoDB. To enable the MongoEngine
session backend, ensure that your settings module has
'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware' in the
MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES field and 'django.contrib.sessions' in your
INSTALLED_APPS. From there, all you need to do is add the following line
into your settings module:
SESSION_ENGINE = 'django_mongoengine.sessions' SESSION_SERIALIZER = 'django_mongoengine.sessions.BSONSerializer'
Django provides session cookie, which expires after
`SESSION_COOKIE_AGE` seconds, but doesn't delete cookie at sessions
backend, so 'mongoengine.django.sessions' supports mongodb TTL.
Note
SESSION_SERIALIZER is only necessary in Django>1.6 as the default
serializer is based around JSON and doesn't know how to convert
bson.objectid.ObjectId instances to strings.
