Using the MongoDB client
The MongoDB clients made available in the context are objects compatible with the
AsyncIOMotorClient
API. As such, refer to Motor’s
asyncio tutorial and api documentation for details.
An example demonstrating the use of the client in Asphalt:
from asphalt.core import inject, resource
@inject
async def handler(*, mongodb: AsyncIOMotorClient = resource() -> None:
# Insert a document to somecollection in somedb
collection = mongodb.somedb.somecollection
document = {'key': 'value'}
obj_id = await collection.insert(document)
# Delete the document
await collection.remove(obj_id)
