How to connect django with mongodb using mongoengine?

[Sagar]

Hello,
I want to connect my django rest-api with mongodb using mongoengine. But I'm not able to do it. I found so many example for that on google. But none of them working with the version I'm running. Below are the version of my frameworks.
django restframework: 2.0.7
mongoengine: 0.15
mongodb: I have created mongodb on mlab.com and it's version is 3.4
If you have the sample code for connection then please share it.

Django does not support MongoDb directly.  Without patch Django FormModel  and other classes, you can only use MongoDB without Django Form support. TO just get data out of MongoDb, this can get your start:

 

import mongoengine

conn = mongoengine.connect('mysite1', **{"host" : "127.0.0.1", "tz_aware": True})

 

from MyUser_Data import User

 

# get all users

users = User.objects()

Hello,
Thanks for code. I tried that code but I have this error.

    conn = backend.DatabaseWrapper(db, alias)
AttributeError: module 'mongoengine.base' has no attribute 'DatabaseWrapper'

This is my code.

conn = mongoengine.connect('dbname', **{'host': '127.0.0.1', 'tz_aware': True,})

Do you know solution for this error?

The mongodb connection can’t be used directly for Django database  settings

You have to use it in your own code.

Django can’t talk to monogodb without heavy source patch.

Don’t use mongodb as a Django DATABASES
