mongo_document_db_driver 2.1.1

MongoDB driver for Dart, backed by MongoDB's official Rust driver. CRUD, aggregation, and more.

mongo_document_db_driver

mongo_document_db_driver is the low-level MongoDB driver package underneath mongo_document_annotation and generated mongo_document APIs.

Most app teams will work through generated models like Post.save() and Posts.findMany(...). This package is for the lower-level cases where you want direct access to Db, DbCollection, filters, modifiers, commands, or aggregation pipelines.

Install

dependencies:
  mongo_document_db_driver: ^2.1.0

dart pub get

Basic Usage

import 'package:mongo_document_db_driver/mongo_document_db_driver.dart';

Future<void> main() async {
  final db = await Db.create(
    'mongodb+srv://<user>:<password>@<cluster>/<database>?retryWrites=true&w=majority',
  );

  await db.open();

  final users = db.collection('users');

  await users.insertOne({
    'email': '[e-mail]',
    'active': true,
  });

  final user = await users.modernFindOne(
    filter: {'email': '[e-mail]'},
    projection: {'_id': 1, 'email': 1},
  );

  print(user);

  await db.close();
}

Read

Use plain Mongo filter maps when that is the clearest fit:

final docs = await users.modernFind(
  filter: {
    'active': true,
    'rating': {r'$gt': 10},
  },
  sort: {'created_at': -1},
  limit: 20,
).toList();

You can also use the exported DSL:

final docs = await users
    .find(where.eq('active', true).gt('rating', 10).sortBy('created_at'))
    .toList();

When you need projection, sort, skip, and limit as separate arguments, prefer modernFind and modernFindOne:

final latest = await users.modernFindOne(
  filter: {'active': true},
  projection: {'_id': 1, 'email': 1},
  sort: {'created_at': -1},
);

Create

await users.insertOne({
  'email': '[e-mail]',
  'name': 'John Doe',
});

await users.insertMany([
  {'email': '[e-mail]'},
  {'email': '[e-mail]'},
]);

Update

await users.updateOne(
  {'email': '[e-mail]'},
  modify.set('name', 'John D.'),
);

await users.updateMany(
  {'active': false},
  modify.set('archived', true),
);

await users.replaceOne(
  {'email': '[e-mail]'},
  {
    'email': '[e-mail]',
    'name': 'John D.',
    'active': true,
  },
);

Delete

await users.deleteOne({'email': '[e-mail]'});
await users.deleteMany({'archived': true});

Aggregation

final result = await users.aggregateToStream([
  {
    r'$match': {'active': true},
  },
  {
    r'$group': {
      '_id': null,
      'count': {r'$sum': 1},
    },
  },
]).toList();

Connection Strings

For most applications, the connection string is all you need:

• mongodb+srv://...
• retryWrites=true
• w=majority
• authSource=...
• tls=true

High-level wrappers such as MongoDbConnection.initialize(...) in mongo_document_annotation expect just the URI.

Platform Notes

• Dart VM / server / CLI / desktop: supported on bundled native targets macos-arm64, linux-x64, and windows-x64
• Web: shared-code compilation is supported, but opening a live MongoDB connection in the browser is not
• Android / iOS: Flutter apps compile, but live on-device runtime still requires mobile native libraries to be bundled

The package ships the native runtime for supported bundled targets, so consumers do not need Rust installed locally.

Recommended Surface Area

If you are writing new code against this package directly, the main path is:

• Db.create(uri)
• db.open()
• db.collection(name)
• modernFind, modernFindOne
• insertOne, insertMany
• updateOne, updateMany, replaceOne
• deleteOne, deleteMany
• aggregateToStream
• count, distinct

Troubleshooting

If you see:

mongo_document_db_driver requires the bundled Rust runtime

it usually means one of these:

• you are running on an unsupported runtime target
• the matching bundled native library is missing
• the runtime is trying to perform live DB access on a platform where only shared-code compilation is supported
