Connecting slim php to mongodb doctrine - php

Question

I am using this slim php skeleton for an mvc structure. It has doctrine connection as well https://github.com/semhoun/slim-skeleton-mvc
I want to connect to my mongodb server and this is the doctrine mongodb package https://www.doctrine-project.org/projects/mongodb-odm.html
I have it installed and setup my bootstrap.php like the docs say on the setup step https://www.doctrine-project.org/projects/doctrine-mongodb-odm/en/2.2/reference/introduction.html#setup
The settings file in my slim framework looks like this
<?php
declare(strict_types=1);
use DI\ContainerBuilder;
use Monolog\Logger;
return function (ContainerBuilder $containerBuilder) {
$rootPath = realpath(__DIR__ . '/..');
// Global Settings Object
$containerBuilder->addDefinitions([
'settings' => [
// Base path
'base_path' => '',
// Is debug mode
'debug' => (getenv('APPLICATION_ENV') != 'production'),
// 'Temprorary directory
'temporary_path' => $rootPath . '/var/tmp',
// Route cache
'route_cache' =>$rootPath . '/var/cache/routes',
// View settings
'view' => [
'template_path' =>$rootPath . '/tmpl',
'twig' => [
'cache' =>$rootPath . '/var/cache/twig',
'debug' => (getenv('APPLICATION_ENV') != 'production'),
'auto_reload' => true,
],
],
// doctrine settings
'doctrine' => [
'meta' => [
'entity_path' => [ $rootPath . '/src/Entity' ],
'auto_generate_proxies' => true,
'proxy_dir' => $rootPath . '/var/cache/proxies',
'cache' => null,
],
'connection' => [
'driver' => 'pdo_sqlite',
'path' => $rootPath . '/var/blog.sqlite'
]
],
// monolog settings
'logger' => [
'name' => 'app',
'path' => getenv('docker') ? 'php://stdout' : $rootPath . '/var/log/app.log',
'level' => (getenv('APPLICATION_ENV') != 'production') ? Logger::DEBUG : Logger::INFO,
]
],
]);
if (getenv('APPLICATION_ENV') == 'production') { // Should be set to true in production
$containerBuilder->enableCompilation($rootPath . '/var/cache');
}
};
How can i connect to my mongodb server and use it in my controllers?

Make sure that ext-mongodb in stalled.
extension=mongodb
Install the Doctrine MongoDB ODM library:
composer require doctrine/mongodb-odm
Add a DI container definition for DocumentManager::class:
<?php
use Doctrine\ODM\MongoDB\Configuration;
use Doctrine\ODM\MongoDB\DocumentManager;
use MongoDB\Client;
use Psr\Container\ContainerInterface;
return [
// ...
DocumentManager::class => function (ContainerInterface $container) {
$settings = $container->get('settings')['mongodb'];
// URI: mongodb://127.0.0.1
$client = new Client($settings['uri']);
$config = new Configuration();
// ...
return DocumentManager::create($client, $config);
},
];
Then use dependency injection and declare DocumentManager in your Repository class constructor.
Usage example:
$address = new Address();
$address->setAddress('555 Doctrine Rd.');
$address->setCity('Nashville');
$address->setState('TN');
$address->setZipcode('37209');
$this->dm->persist($address);
