How to Connect Django and MongoDB Using Djongo?

To connect Django and MongoDB using Djongo, you can follow these steps:

1. Install Djongo package: You can install the Djongo package by running the following command in your terminal or command prompt:

pip install djongo

2. Configure the settings.py file: In your Django project, open the settings.py file and add the following code to the DATABASES dictionary:

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'djongo',
        'NAME': 'your-db-name',
    }
}

Replace your-db-name with the name of your MongoDB database.

3. Create a model: Create a Django model for your MongoDB collection as you would normally do for a SQL database. Here is an example:

from djongo import models

class Person(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=50)
    age = models.IntegerField()

4. Run migrations: Run the following command to apply the migrations:

python manage.py makemigrations
python manage.py migrate

5. Use the model: You can now use the model to insert, update, and query data in your MongoDB database:

p = Person(name='John', age=30)
p.save()

persons = Person.objects.all()
for person in persons:
    print(person.name, person.age)

That's it! You have successfully connected Django and MongoDB using Djongo.
