cakephp5-driver-mongodb

MongoDB datasource driver for CakePHP 5 — the modern successor to giginc/mongodb.

Targets PHP 8.1+, CakePHP 5, and mongodb/mongodb 2.x. The public API follows CakePHP 5 conventions (fluent query builder, marshaller, entities) and does not preserve the array-based call style of the v3 plugin.

Status: scaffold / work in progress. Connection + Driver + Table base + Marshaller/Entity conversion are in scope. Associations, behaviors, and SSH tunnelling are deferred to a later release.

Requirements

• PHP ^8.1
• ext-mongodb
• mongodb/mongodb ^2.0
• cakephp/cakephp ^5.0

Installation

composer require giginc/cakephp5-driver-mongodb

Then load the plugin (optional — the package only contributes a Connection/ Driver/Table base, so loading is not strictly required):

bin/cake plugin load Giginc/Mongodb

Configuration

In config/app.php:

'Datasources' => [
    'mongo' => [
        'className' => \Giginc\Mongodb\Database\Connection::class,
        'driver'    => \Giginc\Mongodb\Database\Driver\Mongodb::class,
        'host'      => 'localhost',
        'port'      => 27017,
        'database'  => 'my_database',
        'username'  => '',
        'password'  => '',
        // or a full DSN that wins over host/port/auth:
        // 'uri'    => 'mongodb://user:pass@host:27017/my_database?authSource=admin',
    ],
],

Usage

// src/Model/Table/UsersTable.php
<?php
declare(strict_types=1);

namespace App\Model\Table;

use Giginc\Mongodb\ORM\Table;

class UsersTable extends Table
{
    public function initialize(array $config): void
    {
        parent::initialize($config);
        $this->setConnection(ConnectionManager::get('mongo'));
    }

    protected ?string $table = 'users';
}

use App\Model\Table\TestsTable;

$users = new UsersTable();

// Fluent queries
$list = $users->find()
    ->where(['status' => 'active'])
    ->order(['created' => 'DESC'])
    ->limit(10)
    ->toArray();

// Single row by _id
$user = $users->get($id);

// Create / update
$entity = $users->newEntity(['name' => 'alice', 'status' => 'active']);
$users->save($entity);

// Delete
$one = $users->find()
    ->first();
$users->delete($one);

API changes (non-exhaustive)

• find('all', ['conditions' => [...], 'fields' => [...], 'limit' => 10]) → find()->where([...])->select([...])->limit(10)->toArray() The legacy array form is intentionally not supported.
• get($id) now throws Cake\Datasource\Exception\RecordNotFoundException (was: InvalidPrimaryKeyException).
• The base Table no longer extends Cake\ORM\Table. SQL-specific helpers (associations, behaviors, SQL query objects) are unavailable in this scope.
• lastInsertId(), transactional(), disableConstraints() are no-ops — MongoDB semantics differ and this driver does not fake them.
• SSH tunnelling (ssh_host, ssh_user, etc. in legacy config) is removed in this release. Use your own tunnel if needed.

Development

# start a local MongoDB for tests
docker compose -f docker-compose.test.yml up -d

composer install
composer test
composer cs-check
composer stan

Integration tests read MONGODB_URI / MONGODB_DATABASE from env, defaulting to mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017 and cakephp5_mongodb_driver_test.
