This repository is an add-on that provides Mongo and Mongo Express for [DDEV](https://ddev.readthedocs. io/en/stable/).

It's based on MongoDb from Docker Hub, DDEV custom compose files and API Platform tutorial.

For DDEV v1.23.5 or above run

ddev add-on get ddev/ddev-mongo

For earlier versions of DDEV run

ddev get ddev/ddev-mongo

Then restart your project

ddev restart

1. Your project will likely require the Doctrine MongoDB ODM bundle ddev composer require doctrine/mongodb-odm-bundle:^4.0.0@beta doctrine/mongodb-odm:^2.0.0@beta

2. In your application .env or other client, set the connection string:

   MONGODB_URL=mongodb://db:db@mongo:27017
   

Mongo Express will now be accessible by running ddev mongo-express command.

This command will run the mongosh (mongoDB Shell) command in the mongo container. Please read the documentation for more information.

This command opens your browser to the Mongo Express page.

• The php extension (phpX.X-mongodb) is set up in .ddev/config.mongo.yaml using webimage_extra_packages. You may want to edit your config.yaml to do what you want and remove the config.mongo.yaml.
• You can't define custom MongoDB configuration with this current setup.
• You can't use ddev import-db to import to mongo.

Based on the original ddev-contrib recipe
