[FIXED] How to connect cakephp 4.x to mongodb?

Issue

How can I connect cakephp version 4.x to mongoDB. I tried many ways but couldn't. I need help from the community. Thanks

Solution

You can follow below steps

1. Install the library by running:

   composer require mongodb/mongodb
   
   

2. You can create a folder in your src folder

   Example you location is : app/cake/src/Mongo/connection.php

3. Then you can write below code to connect mongo

   <?php 
   
   namespace App\Mongo;
   use MongoDB\Client as Mongo;
   
   class Mongo {
   
   public function connection(){
      $user = "admin";
      $pwd = 'password';
   
      return new Mongo("mongodb://${user}:${pwd}@127.0.0.1:27017");
   
   '''
   }
   
   

4. Use this class in any controller

    <?php 
        use App\Mongo\Mongo;
        //In before filter method 
        $this->mongo = new Mongo;
        '''''
