ColdFusion and MongoDB

Overview

MongoDB is a cross-platform document-based NoSQL database. It uses JSON/BSON like documents with schema.

  • MongoDB stores data in flexible, JSON-like documents, meaning fields can vary from document to document and data structure can be changed over time.
  • The document model maps to the objects in your application code, making data easy to work with.
  • Ad hoc queries, indexing, and real time aggregation provide powerful ways to access and analyze your data.
  • MongoDB is a distributed database at its core, so high availability, horizontal scaling, and geographic distribution are built in and easy to use.

Features of MongoDB

The following are some of the features of MongoDB.

  • Queries: MongoDb supports ad-hoc queries and document-based queries. It also supports searching by field, range queries, and regular expressions.
  • Indexing: You can index any field in the document.
  • Replication: MongoDB supports master slave replication. MongoDB uses native application to maintain multiple copies of data.
  • Multiple Servers: The database can run over multiple servers. Data is duplicated to bullet proof the system in case of hardware failure.
  • Auto-Sharding: This process distributes data across multiple physical partitions called shards. Due to sharding, MongoDB has an automatic load-balancing feature.
  • MapReduce: Supports MapReduce and flexible aggregation tools.

For more information on the features of MongoDB, see the MongoDB official website.

Primary Key

Primary Key (Default key _id provided by mongodb itself)

In MongoDB, ObjectIds or primary keys are 12 bytes long, made up of several 2-4 byte chains. The following values make up the full 12 byte combination:

  • a 4-byte value representing the seconds since the Unix epoch
  • a 3-byte machine identifier
  • a 2-byte process id
  • a 3-byte counter, starting with a random value

Install cfmongodb package

Adobe ColdFusion (2021 release) is modularized, if you are only using the ZIP installer. By default, the module for MongoDB is not installed. The first step is to install the MongoDB package in ColdFusion. For the purpose of convenience though, this module is pre-installed in case of the GUI installer. 

Note: If you are using the GUI installer, the packages are pre-installed.

The package for SQS is called cfmongodb.

To install the package cfmongodb, follow the steps below:

  1. Navigate to <CF_HOME>/cfusion/bin.
  2. Enter the command:
    1. Windows: cfpm.bat
    2. Linux: cfpm.sh
  3. Enter the command, install cfmongodb.

Wait for the MongoDB package to get installed.

Install from ColdFusion Administrator

  1. In ColdFusion Administrator > Package Manager, expand the section Available Packages.
  2. From the list of packages, select cfmongodb.
  3. Click Install.

Integration with ColdFusion

In Application.cfc, in the property datasources, create a connection to MongoDB by specifying the MongoDB host (server/localhost) and port, as shown below:

component { 
 this.name = "mongotest77123"; 
 this.serialization.preservecaseforstructkey=true 
 this.enableNullSupport=true 
 
 this.datasources = {  
  "local"= { 
   type="mongodb" 
  }, 
  "mymongodb"= { 
   type="mongodb", 
   host="mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/", 
   "init"= true 
  } 
 } 
}

Create MongoDB datasource via ColdFusion Administrator

In ColdFusion Administrator, click Data & Services > NoSQL Data Sources.

Add and manage your NoSql data source connections and Data Source Names (DSNs).

Enter the name of the datasource and choose Driver as MongoDB.

Click Add.

Add the configuration details, such as, host, port, Enable SSL, etc. For more information, see the NoSQL options.

Collection

A collection is equivalent to a table of a relational db. A collection stores documents that do not conform to a structure. This is because MongoDB is a schema-free database.

Create a collection

To create a collection, you must create a MongoDB database object and create the collection inside the db. A db can consist of multiple collections. See the code below for the syntax:

<cfscript> 
 // mymongodb is the name of the connection to MongoDB, defined in Application.cfc 
  
 db = getMongoService("mymongodb").db("newdb") // create a db 
 db.createCollection("Coll_1") // create a collection 
 db.createCollection("Coll_2") // create another collection 
</cfscript>

Create a document

Once you create a collection, you must insert one or more documents into the collection.

Insert one document

Here is how you can insert a single document in a collection using the insert method.

<cfscript> 
 db = getmongoservice("mymongodb").db("newdb") // create a db 
 db.createCollection("newcolThree") // create a collection 
 // insert a single document 
 db.newcolThree.insert({ 
  "_id": 1, 
  "name":"John Lennon", 
  "band":"Beatles" 
 }) 
</cfscript> 

Note: If you do not explicitly set an Objectid set when defining the document, MongoDB, by default, assigns one to the document. The snippet contains an explicitly set Objectid, which gets displayed.

Insert many documents

You can insert multiple documents, as an array of structs, in a collection using the insertMany method.

<cfscript> 
 db = getmongoservice("mymongodb").db("newdb") // create a db 
 db.newcolThree.drop() // drop the collection 
 db.createCollection("newcolThree") // create a collection 
 // insert a single document 
 db.newcolThree.insert({ 
  "_id": 1, 
  "name":"John Lennon", 
  "band":"Beatles" 
 }) 
 // insert another document 
 db.newcolThree.insertOne({ 
  "_id": 2, 
  "name":"Paul McCartney", 
  "band":"Beatles" 
 }) 
 // insert many documents 
 db.newcolThree.insertMany([ 
  { 
   "_id": 3, 
   "name":"George Harrison", 
   "band":"Beatles" 
  }, 
  { 
   "_id": 4, 
   "name":"Ringo Starr", 
   "band":"Beatles" 
  } 
 ]) 
</cfscript>

Create a capped collection

Capped collections are fixed-size circular collections that follow the insertion order to support high performance for create, read, and delete operations. By circular, it means that when the fixed size allocated to the collection is exhausted, it will start deleting the oldest document in the collection without providing any explicit commands.

Capped collections restrict updates to the documents if the update results in increased document size. Since capped collections store documents in the

order of the disk storage, it ensures that the document size does not increase the size allocated on the disk. Capped collections are best for storing log information, cache data, or any other high volume data.

For more information, see Capped collections in MongoDB.

<cfscript> 
 db = getmongoservice("mymongodb").db("newdb") // create a db 
 // create a capped collection by passing capped flag as true,  
 // size of collection, 
 // and max number of documents 
 db.createCollection("cappedLogCollection",{capped:true,size:10000,max:1000}) 
</cfscript>

If you set capped to true, you must also set a maximum size in the size field.

To check if a collection is capped, use the method isCapped.

<cfscript> 
 db = getmongoservice("mymongodb").db("newdb") // create a db 
 ifCapped=db.cappedLogCollection.isCapped() 
 writeOutput("Is collection capped: "& ifCapped) 
</cfscript>

To convert an existing non-capped collection to a capped one, use the code below. You can use the convertToCapped method to convert to a capped collection.

<cfscript> 
 db = getmongoservice("mymongodb").db("newdb") // create a db 
 db.convertToCapped.drop() 
 // create an un-capped collection 
 db.createCollection("convertToCapped") // create a collection 
 //convert an existing non-capped collection to a capped collection 
 db.convertToCapped({"convertToCapped":"posts",size:10000}) 
</cfscript>

Query a collection

The find method selects documents in a collection or returns a cursor to the selected documents.

The find method has two parameters, query struct and projection, both optional. For more information, see the doc for find.

In the sample below, the find method does not use any parameter.

<cfscript> 
 db = getmongoservice("mymongodb").db("newdb") // create a db 
 db.createCollection("colFindDemo") // create a collection 
 db.colFindDemo.insertMany([ 
   
   { "_id" : 1, "name" : "Ian Gillan", "instrument" : "Vocals","born": 1945 }, 
   { "_id" : 2, "name" : "Ian Paice", "instrument" : "Drums", "born" : 1948 }, 
   { "_id" : 3, "name" : "Roger Glover", "instrument" : "Bass", "born" : 1945 }, 
   { "_id" : 4, "name" : "Steve Morse", "instrument" : "Guitar", "born" : 1954 }, 
   { "_id" : 5, "name" : "Don Airey", "instrument" : "Keyboards", "born" : 1948 }, 
   { "_id" : 6, "name" : "Jeff Martin", "instrument" : "Vocals", "born" : 1969 }, 
   { "_id" : 7, "name" : "Jeff Burrows", "instrument" : "Drums", "born" : 1968 }, 
   { "_id" : 8, "name" : "Stuart Chatwood", "instrument" : "Bass", "born" : 1969 } 
   
 ]) 
 // return all documents 
 db.colFindDemo.find() 
</cfscript>

To find the document(s) that match a query criteria, for example, where _id equals 4, see the sample below:

<cfscript>

       db.colFindDemo.find({"_id":4})

</cfscript>

Another example that matches the criteria where instrument equals drums is shown below:

<cfscript>

       db.colFindDemo.find({"instrument":"Drums"})

</cfscript> 

Find using query operators

The examples below show the usage of query operators to find documents in a collection.

<cfscript>

       df.colFindDemo.find({"_id":{$gt:4}}) // find _ids greater than 4

</cfscript>

<cfscript>

       df.colFindDemo.find({"instrument":{$regex:"^B"}}) // find instruments that start with B

</cfscript>

<cfscript>

       db.colFindDemo.find({"name":{$in:["Ian Gillan","Ian Paice"]}}) // find documents that match the names

</cfscript>

<cfscript>

       db.colFindDemo.find({"born":{$all:[1948]}}) // find documents that match born, which contains the year 1948

</cfscript>

Update a collection

You can update a collection using these methods:

  • update
  • updateOne
  • updateMany

update

The update method modifies an existing document or documents in a collection. For more information, see update method docs.

<cfscript> 
 db = getmongoservice("mymongodb").db("newdb") // create a db 
 db.colUpdDemo.drop() 
 db.createCollection("colUpdDemo") // create a collection 
 db.colUpdDemo.insertMany([ 
  { 
    "_id":1, 
    "product_name": "sildenafil citrate", 
    "supplier": "Wisozk Inc", 
    "quantity": 261, 
    "unit_cost": "$10.47" 
  },  
  { 
    "_id":2, 
    "product_name": "Mountain Juniperus ashei", 
    "supplier": "Keebler-Hilpert", 
    "quantity": 292, 
    "unit_cost": "$8.74" 
  },  
  { 
    "_id":3, 
    "product_name": "Dextromathorphan HBr", 
    "supplier": "Schmitt-Weissnat", 
    "quantity": 211, 
    "unit_cost": "$20.53" 
  } 
]) 
 // increment quantity by 10 for _id:1 
 db.colUpdDemo.update({"_id":1},{$inc:{"quantity":10}}) 
 // update unit cost from 8.74 to 10.74 
 db.colUpdDemo.update({"_id":2},{$set:{"unit_cost": "$10.74"}}) 
</cfscript>

update with pipeline

The aggregation pipeline is a framework that is modeled on the idea of data processing via pipelines in stages. Documents enter a multi-stage pipeline that transforms the documents into aggregated results.

For more information, see Aggregated pipelines in MongoDB.

<cfscript> 
 db = getmongoservice("mymongodb").db("imdb"); 
 db.members.drop() 
 
 res = db.members.insertMany([ 
     { "_id" : 1, "member" : "abc123", "status" : "A", "points" : 2, "misc1" : "note to self: confirm status", "misc2" : "Need to activate" }, 
     { "_id" : 2, "member" : "xyz123", "status" : "A", "points" : 60, "misc1" : "reminder: ping me at 100pts", "misc2" : "Some random comment" } 
 ]) 
 
 writedump(res) 
 
 db.members.find().foreach((s) => { 
 writedump(s) 
 }) 
 
 writeoutput("apply update pipeline") 
 
 res = db.members.update( 
    { }, 
    [ 
      { $set: { status: "Modified", comments: [ "$misc1", "$misc2" ] } }, 
      { $unset: [ "misc1", "misc2" ] } 
    ], 
    { multi: true } 
 ) 
 
 writedump(res) 
 
 db.members.find().foreach((s) => { 
  writedump(s) 
}) 
 
 db.members.drop() 
</cfscript>

updateOne

The method, based on a specified filter, updates a single document in a collection. For more information, see updateOne method docs.

<cfscript> 
 db = getmongoservice("mymongodb").db("newdb") // create a db 
 db.colUpdDemo.drop() 
 db.createCollection("colUpdDemo") // create a collection 
 db.colUpdDemo.insertMany([ 
  { 
    "_id":1, 
    "product_name": "sildenafil citrate", 
    "supplier": "Wisozk Inc", 
    "quantity": 261, 
    "unit_cost": "$10.47", 
    "stock":10000 
  },  
  { 
    "_id":2, 
    "product_name": "Mountain Juniperus ashei", 
    "supplier": "Keebler-Hilpert", 
    "quantity": 292, 
    "unit_cost": "$8.74", 
    "stock":15000 
  },  
  { 
    "_id":3, 
    "product_name": "Dextromathorphan HBr", 
    "supplier": "Schmitt-Weissnat", 
    "quantity": 211, 
    "unit_cost": "$20.53", 
    "stock":20000 
  } 
]) 
    db.colUpdDemo.updateOne({"supplier": "Keebler-Hilpert"},{$set:{"stock":16000}}) 
</cfscript> 

Using Try-Catch

Using try-catch statements, you can handle certain exceptions when a certain value is missing or incorrect. For example,

<cfscript> 
 db = getmongoservice("mymongodb").db("newdb") // create a db 
 db.colUpdOneDemo.drop() 
 db.createCollection("colUpdOneDemo") // create a collection 
 db.colUpdOneDemo.insertMany([ 
  { "_id" : 1, "name" : "Central Perk Cafe", "Borough" : "Manhattan" }, 
  { "_id" : 2, "name" : "Rock A Feller Bar and Grill", "Borough" : "Queens", "violations" : 2 }, 
  { "_id" : 3, "name" : "Empire State Pub", "Borough" : "Brooklyn", "violations" : 0 } 
 ]) 
 try { 
    db.restaurant.updateOne( 
        { "name" : "Central Perk Cafe New" }, // specify incorrect value 
        { $set: { "violations" : 3 } } 
    ) 
 }  
 catch (any e) { 
    WriteOutput("Error: " & e.message) 
} 
</cfscript>

updateMany

The method, based on a specified filter, updates multiple documents in a collection. For more information, see updateMany method docs.

<cfscript> 
       db = getmongoservice("mymongodb").db("newdb") // create a db 
       db.colUpdManyDemo.drop() 
       db.createCollection("colUpdManyDemo") // create a collection 
       db.colUpdManyDemo.insertMany([ 
             { 
             "_id":1, 
             "product_name": "sildenafil citrate", 
             "supplier": "Wisozk Inc", 
             "quantity": 261, 
             "unit_cost": "$10.47", 
             "stock":10000 
             },  
             { 
             "_id":2, 
             "product_name": "Mountain Juniperus ashei", 
             "supplier": "Keebler-Hilpert", 
             "quantity": 292, 
             "unit_cost": "$8.74", 
             "stock":15000 
             },  
             { 
             "_id":3, 
             "product_name": "Dextromathorphan HBr", 
             "supplier": "Schmitt-Weissnat", 
             "quantity": 211, 
             "unit_cost": "$20.53", 
             "stock":20000 
             } 
       ]) 
       // update more than one document based on the specified filter 
       db.collection.updateMany( {"quantity" : {$gt: 250 }}, {$set: { "stock" : 50000 } } ); 
</cfscript>

Database operations

Create a database

To create a db in MongoDB, use the service handler function getmongoservice and create the database.

<cfscript> 
       db = getmongoservice("mymongodb").db("mynewdb") // create a db  
       writeDump(db) 
</cfscript>

Create a collection

After you create a database, you must insert a collection in the database. To create a collection, you must create a MongoDB database object and create the collection inside the db. A db can consist of multiple collections.

<cfscript> 
       db = getmongoservice("mymongodb").db("mynewdb") // create a db 
       db.createCollection("mynewdbcollection") // create a collection called mynewdbcollection 
</cfscript>

Drop a database

<cfscript> 
       db = getmongoservice("mymongodb").db("mynewdb") // create a db 
       db.dropDatabase() // Removes the database 
</cfscript>

Get the name of a database

Use the getName method to retrieve the name of the database. For more information, see Get name of a database.

<cfscript> 
       db = getmongoservice("mymongodb").db("deeppurple") // create a db 
       db.createCollection("members") // create a collection 
       db.members.insertMany([ 
              
                    { "_id" : 1, "name" : "Ian Gillan", "instrument" : "Vocals","born": 1945 }, 
                    { "_id" : 2, "name" : "Ian Paice", "instrument" : "Drums", "born" : 1948 }, 
                    { "_id" : 3, "name" : "Roger Glover", "instrument" : "Bass", "born" : 1945 }, 
                    { "_id" : 4, "name" : "Steve Morse", "instrument" : "Guitar", "born" : 1954 }, 
                    { "_id" : 5, "name" : "Don Airey", "instrument" : "Keyboards", "born" : 1948 }, 
                    { "_id" : 6, "name" : "Jeff Martin", "instrument" : "Vocals", "born" : 1969 }, 
                    { "_id" : 7, "name" : "Jeff Burrows", "instrument" : "Drums", "born" : 1968 }, 
                    { "_id" : 8, "name" : "Stuart Chatwood", "instrument" : "Bass", "born" : 1969 } 
              
       ]) 
       get_name=db.members.getName() 
       writeOutput("The name of the database is: " & get_name) 
</cfscript>

Get the names of collections in a database

Use the getCollectionNames method to retrieve the names of all the collections in a database. For more information, see getCollectionNames docs. The output is an array of collection names.

<cfscript> 
       db = getmongoservice("mymongodb").db("rockband") // create a db 
       db.deeppurple.drop() 
       db.kingcrimson.drop() 
       db.createCollection("deeppurple") // create a collection 
       db.deeppurple.insertMany([ 
              
                    { "_id" : 1, "name" : "Ian Gillan", "instrument" : "Vocals","born": 1945 }, 
                    { "_id" : 2, "name" : "Ian Paice", "instrument" : "Drums", "born" : 1948 }, 
                    { "_id" : 3, "name" : "Roger Glover", "instrument" : "Bass", "born" : 1945 }, 
                    { "_id" : 4, "name" : "Steve Morse", "instrument" : "Guitar", "born" : 1954 }, 
                    { "_id" : 5, "name" : "Don Airey", "instrument" : "Keyboards", "born" : 1948 }, 
                    { "_id" : 6, "name" : "Jeff Martin", "instrument" : "Vocals", "born" : 1969 }, 
                    { "_id" : 7, "name" : "Jeff Burrows", "instrument" : "Drums", "born" : 1968 }, 
                    { "_id" : 8, "name" : "Stuart Chatwood", "instrument" : "Bass", "born" : 1969 } 
              
       ]) 
       db.createCollection("kingcrimson") // create another collection 
       db.kingcrimson.insertMany([ 
             {"_id":1,"name":"Robert Fripp","instrument":"Guitar", 
             "_id":2, "name": "Greg Lake","instrument":"Bass", 
             "_id":3, "name": "Ian McDonald","instrument":"Keyboard", 
             "_id":4, "name": "Michael Giles", "instrument":"Drums"} 
       ]) 
       collection_names=db.getCollectionNames() 
       writeDump(collection_names) 
</cfscript>

Get information about a collection

The getCollectionInfos method returns an array of documents with collection or view information, such as name and options, for the current database. For more information, see getCollectionInfos docs.

<cfscript> 
       // The following returns information for all collections in the rockband database 
       db = getmongoservice("mymongodb").db("rockband") 
       all_collections=db.getCollectionInfos() 
       writeDump(all_collections) 
</cfscript>

Stream method

In MongoDB, streams enable applications to stream real-time data changes by using MongoDB’s replication capabilities. Streams help in updating data in real time so that applications access the most recent data. For example, trading systems, IOT data use data streams extensively.

Change streams notify your application of all writes to documents and provide access to information as and when changes occur, without any polling of data.

Collections.watch

This function opens a change stream for a collection. For more information, see db.collection.watch.

<cfscript> 
    // Retrieve database 
    db = getmongoservice("sharded").db("streamtest"); 
    res = db.adminCommand( { 
        enableSharding: "streamtest" 
    } ) 
    collection = db.Students; 
    res = db.adminCommand( { shardCollection: "streamtest.Students", key: { enrollno: 1 } } ); 
    cursor = collection.watch(); 
    // Insert many documents 
    res = collection.insertMany([{ 
        enrollno: "1001", 
        name: "John Doe", 
        college: "Amherst", 
        course: { 
            courseName: "Math", 
            duration: "4 Years" 
        }, 
        address: { 
            city: "Any city", 
            state: "Any state", 
            country: "USA" 
        } 
    }]) 
    streamRes = cursor.Next(); 
    writedump(var=streamRes , label="Cursor.next");

Query caching

You can implement caching in MongoDB with the help of the following:

CachedAfter: You can cache a MongoDB query using the cachedAfter attribute. If the query was last run after the supplied date, cached data is used. Otherwise the query is re-run.

CachedWithin: The cachedWithin attribute instructs ColdFusion to execute a MongoDB query ONLY if it does not have a result set from that exact query in memory already.

CachedAfter

<cfscript> 
    db = getmongoservice("mymongodb").db("db_cache") // create a db 
    collection = db.students
