MongoDB REST server using Slim PHP

Slim PHP Mongo REST server

MongoDB REST server using Slim PHP.

I've just thrown this up quickly, there might be an error or two. But I am hoping to polish it a bit and add a few features to bring it more in line with the Node.js one I have used before. Probably a good starting point for people looking to do more advanced things, or just of interest anyone looking into Slim or Mongo with PHP. And if someone uses it and I get a pull request, all the better!

Requirements

PHP, with MongoDB driver http://php.net/manual/en/mongo.installation.php

A web server such as nginx, lighttpd or Apache httpd

Notes

Update will only update fields present in the request, leaving any existing fields in tact. I will add the faster 'save' update (which is effectively a delete/insert for the same key) in future.

Usage

Configure MONGO_HOST at the top of index.php

Here's some jQuery -

Fetch collection

Get all in collection (respecting limit set in mongo-list.php)

$.getJSON(
  '/database/collection',
  function(data) {
    console.log(data);
  }
);

Get blogs with phone in the title

$.ajax({
    url: '/database/collection',
    type: 'GET',
    contentType: 'application/json',
    dataType: 'json',
    data: JSON.stringify({
      filter: {
        type: 'blogs'
      },
      wildcard: {
        title: 'phone'
      }
    }),
    success: function(data) {
      console.log(data);
    },
    error: function (data) {
      console.log(data);
    }
});

And in Backbone

var collection = Backbone.Collection.extend({
  url: '/database/collection',
  // drill down to the actual results
  parse: function(response) {
    return response.results;
  }
});

collection.fetch({
  data: {
    filter: {
      type: 'blogs'
    }
    // etc.
  }
});

Save document

$.ajax({
  url: '/database/collection',
  type: 'POST',
  contentType: 'application/json',
  dataType: 'json',
  data: JSON.stringify({
    title: 'My Object',
    body: 'text'
    // etc.
  }),
  success: function(data) {
    console.log(data);
  },
  error: function (data) {
    console.log(data);
  }
});

Update document

$.ajax({
  url: '/database/collection/id',
  type: 'PUT',
  contentType: 'application/json',
  dataType: 'json',
  data: JSON.stringify({
    title: 'My Object',
    body: 'text'
    // etc.
  }),
  success: function(data) {
    console.log(data);
  },
  error: function (data) {
    console.log(data);
  }
});

Todo

• Save/Update/Delete multiple
• Alternate update using save()
• Check it works... :-D
