So our model matches the data really, really well. But we need to actually make a few more changes to model what's happening inside of MongoDB.
0:11
For example, the collection name. We saw over here that the collection name was lowercase packages. What is it going to be right now?
0:18
Upper case P, singular package. We have no indexes and no ability to specify those either. So recall that what we do is on the top level,
0:29
the Beanie.DocumentDerived class, what we do is we're going to add an inner class here. So let's start with this one, a class called Settings.
0:38
This used to be called Collection, and then that was deprecated and renamed to Settings. So if you see it as Collection in older demos or examples,
0:48
that's the same thing, just rename it to the Settings 'cause the old one doesn't work anymore. So the first thing we want to set
0:54
is the name equals Packages like this. We're also going to go in here, I'll go ahead and put a placeholder for it. We're going to do indexes.
1:02
And those are going to go into here. Obviously, this is the most important thing that we're querying about.
1:10
Like you might want to know, give me the release, you know, is there a release 1.0 for this particular package, right?
1:17
Answering those types of questions, really important. Give me all the packages with this author email,
1:23
or what are all the packages maintained by a singular maintainer?
1:26
all of those things are going to need indexes as well as create a date for like show me
1:32
the most recently updated and the latest releases and those kinds of things.
1:37
So that's what this settings class and we're going to do a bunch of things with the indexes here but not yet.
1:42
Let's go over here to the other two and do something similar. This one was called release analytics I believe. Double check. Release analytics. Yes.
1:54
be users. I'm going to shrink that up for now. All right, I guess keep it consistent, shrink up the packages.
2:15
Excellent. Okay, so now we should be able to talk to MongoDB and actually find the right collections,
2:22
ones that are named the way I think they should be, lowercase plural, when we actually talk to our uppercase P type package here in the queries.
2:34
Now I think we're pretty much ready to go in terms of that connection.
2:38
The last thing we're going to need to do in order to use it is go into B and connect Beanie
2:42
over to MongoDB and tell it that it uses these three classes to do that.
