= Spring Data MongoDB image:https://jenkins.spring.io/buildStatus/icon?job=spring-data-mongodb%2Fmaster&subject=Build[link=https://jenkins.spring.io/view/SpringData/job/spring-data-mongodb/] https://gitter.im/spring-projects/spring-data[image:https://badges.gitter.im/spring-projects/spring-data.svg[Gitter]]

The primary goal of the https://projects.spring.io/spring-data[Spring Data] project is to make it easier to build Spring-powered applications that use new data access technologies such as non-relational databases, map-reduce frameworks, and cloud based data services.

The Spring Data MongoDB project aims to provide a familiar and consistent Spring-based programming model for new datastores while retaining store-specific features and capabilities.
The Spring Data MongoDB project provides integration with the MongoDB document database.
Key functional areas of Spring Data MongoDB are a POJO centric model for interacting with a MongoDB `+Document+` and easily writing a repository style data access layer.

== Code of Conduct

This project is governed by the https://github.com/spring-projects/.github/blob/e3cc2ff230d8f1dca06535aa6b5a4a23815861d4/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md[Spring Code of Conduct]. By participating, you are expected to uphold this code of conduct. Please report unacceptable behavior to spring-code-of-conduct@pivotal.io.

== Getting Started

Here is a quick teaser of an application using Spring Data Repositories in Java:

[source,java]
----
public interface PersonRepository extends CrudRepository<Person, Long> {

  List<Person> findByLastname(String lastname);

  List<Person> findByFirstnameLike(String firstname);
}

@Service
public class MyService {

  private final PersonRepository repository;

  public MyService(PersonRepository repository) {
    this.repository = repository;
  }

  public void doWork() {

    repository.deleteAll();

    Person person = new Person();
    person.setFirstname("Oliver");
    person.setLastname("Gierke");
    repository.save(person);

    List<Person> lastNameResults = repository.findByLastname("Gierke");
    List<Person> firstNameResults = repository.findByFirstnameLike("Oli*");
 }
}

@Configuration
@EnableMongoRepositories
class ApplicationConfig extends AbstractMongoClientConfiguration {

  @Override
  protected String getDatabaseName() {
    return "springdata";
  }
}
----

=== Maven configuration

Add the Maven dependency:

[source,xml]
----
<dependency>
  <groupId>org.springframework.data</groupId>
  <artifactId>spring-data-mongodb</artifactId>
  <version>${version}.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>
----

If you'd rather like the latest snapshots of the upcoming major version, use our Maven snapshot repository and declare the appropriate dependency version.

[source,xml]
----
<dependency>
  <groupId>org.springframework.data</groupId>
  <artifactId>spring-data-mongodb</artifactId>
  <version>${version}.BUILD-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>

<repository>
  <id>spring-libs-snapshot</id>
  <name>Spring Snapshot Repository</name>
  <url>https://repo.spring.io/libs-snapshot</url>
</repository>
----

== Upgrading from 2.x

The 4.0 MongoDB Java Driver does no longer support certain features that have already been deprecated in one of the last minor versions.
Some of the changes affect the initial setup configuration as well as compile/runtime features. We summarized the most typical changes one might encounter.

=== XML Namespace

.Changed XML Namespace Elements and Attributes:
|===
Element / Attribute | 2.x | 3.x

| `<mongo:mongo-client replica-set="..." />`
| Was a comma delimited list of replica set members (host/port)
| Now defines the replica set name. +
Use `<mongo:client-settings cluster-hosts="..." />` instead

| `<mongo:db-factory writeConcern="..." />`
| NONE, NORMAL, SAFE, FSYNC_SAFE, REPLICAS_SAFE, MAJORITY
| W1, W2, W3, UNAKNOWLEDGED, AKNOWLEDGED, JOURNALED, MAJORITY

| `MongoDataIntegrityViolationException`
| Uses `WriteConcernResult` instead of `WriteResult`.

| `BulkOperationException`
| Uses `MongoBulkWriteException` and `com.mongodb.bulk.BulkWriteError` instead of `BulkWriteException` and `com.mongodb.BulkWriteError`

| `ReactiveMongoClientFactoryBean`
| Uses `com.mongodb.MongoClientSettings` instead of `com.mongodb.async.client.MongoClientSettings`

=== Other Changes

==== UUID Types

The MongoDB UUID representation can now be configured with different formats.
This has to be done via `MongoClientSettings` as shown in the snippet below.

.UUID Codec Configuration
====
[source,java]
----
static class Config extends AbstractMongoClientConfiguration {

    @Override
    public void configureClientSettings(MongoClientSettings.Builder builder) {
        builder.uuidRepresentation(UuidRepresentation.STANDARD);
    }

    // ...
}

== Reporting Issues

Spring Data uses Github as issue tracking system to record bugs and feature requests.
If you want to raise an issue, please follow the recommendations below:

* Before you log a bug, please search the https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-data-mongodb/issues[issue tracker] to see if someone has already reported the problem.
* If the issue does not already exist, https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-data-mongodb/issues/new[create a new issue].
* Please provide as much information as possible with the issue report, we like to know the version of Spring Data that you are using, the JVM version, Stacktrace, etc.
* If you need to paste code, or include a stack trace use https://guides.github.com/features/mastering-markdown/[Markdown] code fences +++```+++.

== Building from Source

You don’t need to build from source to use Spring Data (binaries in https://repo.spring.io[repo.spring.io]), but if you want to try out the latest and greatest, Spring Data can be easily built with the https://github.com/takari/maven-wrapper[maven wrapper].
You also need JDK 1.8.

[source,bash]
----
 $ ./mvnw clean install
----

If you want to build with the regular `mvn` command, you will need https://maven.apache.org/run-maven/index.html[Maven v3.5.0 or above].

_Also see link:CONTRIBUTING.adoc[CONTRIBUTING.adoc] if you wish to submit pull requests, and in particular please sign the https://cla.pivotal.io/sign/spring[Contributor’s Agreement] before your first non-trivial change._

=== Building reference documentation

Building the documentation builds also the project without running tests.

[source,bash]
----
 $ ./mvnw clean install -Pdistribute
----

The generated documentation is available from `target/site/reference/html/index.html`.

== Guides

The https://spring.io/[spring.io] site contains several guides that show how to use Spring Data step-by-step:

* https://spring.io/guides/gs/accessing-data-mongodb/[Accessing Data with MongoDB] is a very basic guide that shows you how to create a simple application and how to access data using repositories.
* https://spring.io/guides/gs/accessing-mongodb-data-rest/[Accessing MongoDB Data with REST] is a guide to creating a REST web service exposing data stored in MongoDB through repositories.

== Examples

* https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-data-examples/[Spring Data Examples] contains example projects that explain specific features in more detail.
