A python DSL for making queries in mongodb

trafficstars

This module is designed to make it easier to write queries for MongoDB in python

Caveats: 1) This is an ugly hack that seems to work. 2) Field names must have at least one lower-case letter or no capitals

This will import 'M' (for MongoDB or Magic) and 'AND'

from mongo_magic import *

Simple equality and inequality:

M.foo == 'bar' {'foo': 'bar'} M.foo.bar == 'baz' {'foo.bar': 'baz'} M.foo.bar != 'qux' {'foo.bar': {'$ne': 'qux'}}

Ranges:

0 < M.foo.bar < 100 {'foo.bar': {'$gt': 0, '$lt': 100}} 0 <= M.foo.bar <= 100 {'foo.bar': {'$lte': 100, '$gte': 0}}

Helpers that take varargs or iterables:

M.foo.IN(1,2,3) {'foo': {'$in': (1, 2, 3)}} M.foo.IN([1,2,3]) {'foo': {'$in': [1, 2, 3]}} M.foo.IN(set([1,2,3])) {'foo': {'$in': [1, 2, 3]}} M.foo.NIN(1,2,3) {'foo': {'$nin': (1, 2, 3)}} M.foo.ALL(1,2,3) {'foo': {'$all': (1, 2, 3)}}

Single objects must be wrapped in a list:

M.foo.IN('bar') Traceback (most recent call last): ... ValueError: $in doesn't make sense with single value M.foo.IN(['bar']) {'foo': {'$in': ['bar']}}

$exists queries:

M.foo.EXISTS() {'foo': {'$exists': True}} M.foo.EXISTS(False) {'foo': {'$exists': False}}

Regexes and startswith helper

M.foo.RE("hello") {'foo': {'$regex': 'hello'}} M.foo.RE("hello", 'i') {'foo': {'$options': 'i', '$regex': 'hello'}} M.foo.STARTSWITH('world') {'foo': {'$regex': '^world'}}

Combining requirements (must be for different fields):

AND(M.a == 1, M.b > 10, M.c.IN('one', 'two')) {'a': 1, 'c': {'$in': ('one', 'two')}, 'b': {'$gt': 10}}
