Django and MongoDB example

About

A very simple example of django and MongoDB implementation. I must say django is not maybe a correct example for this since we will not have use of django ORM, django Admin, etc.

Then seems like django is not fully used and maybe this is more a good option for some microservice - maybe with FastAPI, Flask or any other small framework.

Why I did this?

I was just curious!

Of course this could be a nice use case for storing some data, besides some relation DB that integrates with django.

In this example for communicating to MongoDB I used PyMongo package.

Requirements

1. Python 3.11+
2. Poetry

How

1. Install requirements:

   poetry install

2. Create .env file in root of your project (same level as manage.py)
3. Update .env with your values (check .env.example file)
4. Run server
