MongoLite
=========

[](#mongolite)

Schemaless database on top of SqLite

### Sample Usage

[](#sample-usage)

```
$client     = new MongoLite\Client(PATH_TO_WRITABLE_FOLDER);
$database   = $client->testdb;
$collection = $database->products;

$entry = ["name"=>"Super cool Product", "price"=>20];

$collection->insert($entry);

$products = $collection->find(); // Get Cursor

if ($products->count()) {

    foreach($products->sort(["price"=>1])->limit(5) as $product) {
        var_dump($product);
    }
}
```

### Query collection

[](#query-collection)

In general you can use a callback or simple array as criteria

```
$collection->find(function($document) {   // recommended to query data
    return $document["price"] > 10;
});

//or

$collection->find(["price"=>['$gt'=>10]]); // only very simple criteria is supported (can be slow)

//or just one

$collection->findOne(function($document) { ... });
$collection->findOne([...]);
```

### Writing documents

[](#writing-documents)

```
$collection->insert($document);
$collection->save($document);
$collection->update($criteria, $data);
```

### Delete documents

[](#delete-documents)

```
$collection->remove($criteria);
```
