mongodb/laravel-mongodb

Laravel is a popular PHP framework for building websites and web applications. It comes with a built-in system for talking to databases called Eloquent, which lets developers write database queries in a clean, readable style without writing raw SQL. By default, Eloquent works with traditional databases like MySQL and PostgreSQL. MongoDB is a different kind of database. Instead of organizing data into tables with fixed columns, it stores data as flexible documents, similar to JSON objects. This makes it a good fit for data that varies in structure from one record to the next. This package bridges those two worlds. It extends Laravel's Eloquent model and query builder so that developers can work with MongoDB using the exact same patterns and method names they already know from working with standard databases. The goal is to make switching to or adding MongoDB feel as natural as possible for a Laravel developer, without having to learn a completely different set of commands. The package is now officially maintained by MongoDB, Inc., which took over ownership from its original creator. It supports Laravel 10 and newer versions. For projects still running older versions of Laravel, earlier releases of the package remain available on GitHub. The README is sparse on setup details and points to the official MongoDB documentation site for full installation and usage guides. Bug reports are handled through MongoDB's JIRA issue tracker rather than GitHub issues. Security vulnerabilities have their own separate reporting process documented on the MongoDB website.
