MongoDBx::KeyValue - Use MongoDB as if it were a key-value store.
=head1 VERSION
version 0.001001
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use MongoDBx::KeyValue;
my $mkv = MongoDBx::KeyValue->new(kvdb => 'my_key_value_database', %opts);
# 'kvdb' is required, other options are passed to MongoDB::Connection->new()
$mkv->set('cache', 'index.html', '<html><head><title>Index</title></head><body>Index</body></html>');
my $index = $mkv->get('cache', 'index.html');
print $index; # prints '<html><head><title>Index</title></head><body>Index</body></html>'
=head1 DESCRIPTION
MongoDBx::KeyValue is a very simple module for easy usage of L<MongoDB> as
a key-value store (similar to Redis, Riak or Memcached).
The interface is very simple: you I<set> the values of keys and I<get> the
values of keys. Every key-value pair is stored in a bucket, which is really
just a MongoDB collection (the "bucket" terminology is used merely for
resemblance with other key-value stores), so the same key can exist, with
possibly different values, in multiple buckets.
To get the value of a key, just pass the C<get()> method the name of the
bucket and the key. If it is not found, C<undef> is returned. To set the
value for a key, just provide the C<set()> method with the name of the
bucket, the key and the value. If the key already exists in the bucket,
its value will be replaced.
The value for a key can be anything that MongoDB supports, including simple
scalars (strings, numbers, etc.), hash or array references, and whatever
else MongoDB natively supports such as L<DateTime> objects. While no checking is
made for keys, you probably should only use scalars for them.
Every key-value pair is stored in the database as a document with two
attributes: "_id", which holds the key; and "value", which holds the value.
=head1 CLASS METHODS
=head2 new( %opts )
Creates a new instance of this module and connects to the MongoDB server.
The only required option is 'kvdb', which should hold the name of the
database to use for the key-value store. All other options will be passed
to C<< MongoDB::Connection->new() >>, so take a look at L<MongoDB::Connection/"ATTRIBUTES">
for a list of all supported options.

=head1 OBJECT METHODS
=head2 get( $bucket, $key )
Attempts to find the value for the key C<$key> in the bucket named
C<$bucket>. Returns C<undef> if not found.
=cut
sub
get {
my
(
$self
,
$bucket
,
$key
) =
@_
;
my
$entry
=
$self
->bucket(
$bucket
)->find_one({
_id
=>
$key
});
return
$entry
?
$entry
->{value} :
undef
;
}
=head2 set( $bucket, $key, $value )
Sets the value for the key named C<$key> inside the bucket named C<$bucket>.
If the key already exists, its value will be replaced with the new one.
It's probably better for keys to be scalars, but values can be anything,
including hash-refs, array-refs and whatever L<MongoDB> can store natively
(take a look at L<MongoDB::DataTypes> for more info).
=cut
sub
set {
my
(
$self
,
$bucket
,
$key
,
$value
) =
@_
;
$self
->bucket(
$bucket
)->update({
_id
=>
$key
}, {
'$set'
=> {
value
=>
$value
} }, {
upsert
=> 1 });
}
=head2 db()
Returns the L<MongoDB::Database> object of the key-value store.
=cut
sub
db {
shift
->{db} }
=head2 bucket( $bucket_name )
All this really does is return a L<MongoDB::Collection> object for the
collection named C<$bucket_name>. Use it if you need MongoDB collection
objects for some reason.
=cut
sub
bucket {
my
(
$self
,
$bucket
) =
@_
;
return
unless
$bucket
;
return
$self
->db->get_collection(
$bucket
);
}
=head1 DIAGNOSTICS
This module generates the following errors:
=over
=item * "You must provide the name of the key-value database to use (as parameter 'kvdb')."
This error will be issued by the C<new()> method if you don't provide it with
the 'kvdb' parameter, which should hold the name of the database to use
as the key-value store.

=head1 DEPENDENCIES
This module only depends on L<MongoDB>.
