Getting Started

This repository provides a Python script (app.py) for interacting with a MongoDB database using the pymongo library.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.x (download from https://www.python.org/downloads/)
• pipenv (package installer) - Install using pip install pipenv

Installation

1. Clone this repository:

   Bash

   git clone https://github.com/AlanRMA/PyMongoRunner

   cd PyMongoRunner

2. Install dependencies using pipenv:

   Bash

   pipenv install

   This will create a virtual environment and install the required packages, including pymongo.

Configuration

1. Create a file named .env in the root directory of your project (exclude this file from version control). This file stores your MongoDB connection string securely:

   MONGO_CONNECTION_STRING="your_actual_mongodb_connection_string"

   Replace "your_actual_mongodb_connection_string" with the appropriate connection string for your MongoDB database. You can find instructions on obtaining your connection string in your MongoDB provider's documentation.

Usage

1. Explore the Code:

   • Open the app.py file to see the available functions for interacting with your MongoDB database.
   • These functions likely handle operations such as creating collections, inserting data, querying documents and deleting data.

2. Create Tasks:

   • (Optional): If your script uses a queue or similar mechanism for executing commands, modify the __main__ function in app.py to enqueue the commands you want to run against MongoDB.

3. Run the Script:

   1. pipenv shell

   2. pipenv install pymongo

   3. python app.py

This will execute the script and interact with your MongoDB database based on the defined commands.
