Genie official MongoDB support

[sasogeek]

I'm trying to use MongoDB but struggling to connect to Atlas with the Mongoc.jl package. Is there an ETA on when there will be an official support/package of MongoDB for Genie?

I'm afraid there is no ETA on this :-/

I think we can address this with a guide.

I am also expecting the guide. Is there anything I can help?

I'm not sure there is need or value for tighter Genie and Mongo integration. Any Mongo package should just work by simply adding it to any Genie app. Where do you see the value? What have you tried and what issues have you encountered?

IMO it'd be great to have a quick example on where it's best to initialize the client and set up a pool, and then how to retrieve it anytime in routes.jl there's the need to reach the db..

Yes, we can do that. Are you up to date with the state of Mongo support in Julia? Last time I checked it wasn't working due to BSON.jl issues.

[manentai]

no unfortunately I am not up to date on that... all I know is that the Mongoc.jl is working good, and I can connect, query, insert and delete records without problems... see here

Ah ok - if it works then it's good news.
