CodeIgniter 4 MongoDB Tutorial

In this tutorial, we will implement the step-by-step process of installing MongoDB with CodeIgniter 4. This guide assumes you already have basic knowledge of CodeIgniter 4.

 

Installing MongoDB

First, you’ll need to download and install MongoDB on your system. Head over to MongoDB’s official website and grab the community version for your operating system.

 

Install MongoDB

MongoDB Compass is a graphical user interface (GUI) tool that allows you to interact with your MongoDB databases, explore data, and perform operations without writing complex queries. It’s a user-friendly way to get started with MongoDB.

 

Steps to Install MongoDB Compass:

Download MongoDB Compass:

Head over to the MongoDB Compass download page.

Choose the version that matches your operating system (Windows, macOS, or Linux).

Download the installer.

 

Install MongoDB Compass:

On Windows: Double-click the .exe file, follow the on-screen instructions, and complete the installation.

On macOS: Open the .dmg file, and drag MongoDB Compass into the Applications folder.

On Linux: Extract the .tgz file, and run Compass by navigating to the extracted folder and using the terminal to start the application.

 

Launch MongoDB Compass:

Once installed, open MongoDB Compass.

When you launch it for the first time, you’ll be asked to enter your MongoDB connection string. If you’re running MongoDB locally, use:

 
mongodb://localhost:27017

Click Connect, and you’re ready to explore your MongoDB data.

Setting Up CodeIgniter 4 for MongoDB

Now that you have MongoDB and Compass up and running, it’s time to integrate MongoDB with CodeIgniter 4.

 

Step-by-Step Guide to Set Up MongoDB with CodeIgniter 4:

Install MongoDB PHP Driver:

Open your terminal in the root folder of your CodeIgniter 4 project.

Run the following command to install the MongoDB PHP driver:

composer require mongodb/mongodb

This will install the necessary MongoDB libraries for PHP

 

Congratulations! You’ve successfully installed MongoDB on Windows, Linux, and macOS, and integrated it with CodeIgniter 4. Now you can use MongoDB to manage your data in a flexible, schema-less structure. This combination allows you to leverage the power of NoSQL databases with CodeIgniter’s fast and lightweight framework.
