# Django MongoDB Backend

## Documentation

Documentation written in the style of MongoDB's documentation is available at
https://www.mongodb.com/docs/languages/python/django-mongodb/current/.

Documentation written in the style of Django's documentation is available at
https://django-mongodb-backend.readthedocs.io/en/latest/.

## Quick Start

### Install

Use the version of `django-mongodb-backend` that corresponds to your version of
Django. For example, to get the latest compatible release for Django 5.2.x:

```bash
pip install django-mongodb-backend==5.2.*
```

### Create a project

From your shell, run the following command to create a new Django project
called `example` using our project template. Make sure the end of the template
URL corresponds to your version of Django (e.g. `5.2.x.zip` for any Django
5.2.x version).

```bash
django-admin startproject example --template https://github.com/mongodb-labs/django-mongodb-project/archive/refs/heads/5.2.x.zip
```

You can check what version of Django you're using with:

```bash
django-admin --version
```

### Connect to the database

Navigate to your `example/settings.py` file and replace the `DATABASES`
setting like so:

```python
DATABASES = {
    "default": {
        "ENGINE": "django_mongodb_backend",
        "HOST": "<CONNECTION_STRING_URI>",
        "NAME": "db_name",
    },
}
```

### Run the server

To verify that you correctly configured your project, run the following command
from your project root:

```bash
python manage.py runserver
```

Then, visit http://127.0.0.1:8000/. This page displays a "Congratulations!"
message and an image of a rocket.
