MongoDB-enabled services for the Angel3 framework.

## Installation

Add the following to your `pubspec.yaml`:

```yaml
dependencies:
  angel3_mongo: ^8.0.0
```

## Usage

This library exposes one main class: `MongoService`.

## Model

`Model` is class with no real functionality; however, it represents a basic document, and your services should host inherited classes. Other Angel service providers host `Model` as well, so you will easily be able to modify your application if you ever switch databases.

```dart
class User extends Model {
  String username;
  String password;
}

void main() async {
    var db = Db('mongodb://localhost:27017/local');
    await db.open();
    
    var service = app.use('/api/users', MongoService(db.collection("users")));
    
    service.afterCreated.listen((event) {
        print("New user: ${event.result}");
    });
}
```

## MongoService

This class interacts with `DbCollection` (from mongo_dart) and serializing data to and from Maps.

## Querying

You can query these services as follows:

```curl
    /path/to/service?foo=bar
```

The above will query the database to find records where 'foo' equals 'bar'. The former will sort result in ascending order of creation, and so will the latter.

```dart
    List queried = await MyService.index({r"$query": where.id(ObjectId.fromHexString("some hex string"})));
```

And, you can use mongo_dart queries. Just pass it as `query` within `params`.

See the tests for more usage examples.

## **Important Notes**

When running with locally installed instance of MongoDB or docker based MongoDB, the following connection string is not supported by the underlying MongoDB driver yet. Best option at the moment is to run MongoDB with the authentication off or use MongoDB Atlas.

```dart
  var db = Db('mongodb://<username>:<password>@localhost:27017/local');
```

* `<username>` is MongoDB username
* `<password>` is MongoDB password
