Basic Usage =========== Once you have a MongoDB connection instance, you can execute a MongoDB commands and queries using [[yii\mongodb\Command]]: ```php // execute command: $result = Yii::$app->mongodb->createCommand(['listIndexes' => 'some_collection'])->execute(); // execute query (find): $cursor = Yii::$app->mongodb->createCommand(['projection' => ['name' => true]])->query('some_collection'); // execute batch (bulk) operations: Yii::$app->mongodb->createCommand() ->addInsert(['name' => 'new']) ->addUpdate(['name' => 'existing'], ['name' => 'updated']) ->addDelete(['name' => 'old']) ->executeBatch('customer'); ``` Using the connection instance you may access databases and collections. Most of the MongoDB commands are accessible via [[\yii\mongodb\Collection]] instance: ```php $collection = Yii::$app->mongodb->getCollection('customer'); $collection->insert(['name' => 'John Smith', 'status' => 1]); ``` To perform "find" queries, you should use [[\yii\mongodb\Query]]: ```php use yii\mongodb\Query; $query = new Query(); // compose the query $query->select(['name', 'status']) ->from('customer') ->limit(10); // execute the query $rows = $query->all(); ```
