PHP, Lithium and MongoDB

PHP, Lithium, and MongoDB Mitch Pirtle MongoBoston - September 20, 2010 Boston, MA

One thing real quick.

Microsoft NERD, right? There’ll be no talk of convergence or paradigm shifts here There will be code COFFEE!

About the speaker Nothing but web since 1995 Contributor to many FOSS projects (Joomla! founder) Budding author MongoDB for Web Development Extreme Joomla! Performance High-trafﬁc projects (Jetsetter, MTV, Food Networks) Husband, dad, skate punk, metalcore bassist, coach

What is MongoDB? Document database Wicked fast speed Encourages simple code, fewer bugs Great for scale

What is Lithium? web - http://lithify.me irc - #li3 on freenode.net http://www.slideshare.net/nateabele/lithium-the- framework-for-people-who-hate-frameworks Projects demonstrating MongoDB support: http://rad-dev.org/lithium_mongo http://rad-dev.org/lithium_blog

Ok, what exactly is it?

Benefit: Environments Separate configuration Better integration Better workflow for development

Beneﬁt: Connections Uses environments Multiple database types Multiple database connections Yes, these are concurrent

Benefit: Collections Specifically for document databases Embedded data/lists No schema definition required

Beneﬁt: Plugins Everything is a plugin Even Lithium is a plugin

Benefit: Filters Lithium takes advantage of, and encourages the use of filters http://php.net/manual/ en/book.filter.php

Is it fully baked? Nearing 1.0 release Model constraints (belongs to, has many, etc.) are being ﬁnished as you watch this talk Some generators, scaffolds under construction

Why Lithium + MongoDB? You don’t have to define the schema in your models. Read that first one again. Lithium does not force relational practices on your data. Namespaces, chaining, filters, closures...
