Library to make mongo gridfs in-place updates

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

Requires PHP 5.4.0 (or later).

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

To add the library as a local, per-project dependency use [Composer](http://getcomposer.org)!

```
{
    "require": {
        "gaillard/gridfs-update": "~1.0"
    }
}
```

Example
-------

[](#example)

```
$id = new \MongoId();

$gridfs = (new \MongoClient())->selectDB('gridfsUpdaterExample')->getGridFS();
$gridfs->storeBytes('123456', ['_id' => $id, 'metadata' => ['key1' => 'Hello', 'key2' => 'Mr.', 'key3' => 'Smith']]);

$before = $gridfs->findOne();
echo 'metadata is ';
var_dump($before->file['metadata']);
echo "bytes are {$before->getBytes()}\n";

GridFsUpdater::update(
    $gridfs,
    $id,
    '7890',
    [
        '$set' => ['metadata.key2' => 'Bob'],
        '$unset' => ['metadata.key3' => ''],
    ]
);

$after = $gridfs->findOne();
echo 'metadata is now ';
var_dump($after->file['metadata']);
echo "bytes are now {$after->getBytes()}\n";
```

prints

```
metadata is array(3) {
  'key1' =>
  string(5) "Hello"
  'key2' =>
  string(3) "Mr."
  'key3' =>
  string(5) "Smith"
}
bytes are 123456
metadata is now array(2) {
  'key1' =>
  string(5) "Hello"
  'key2' =>
  string(3) "Bob"
}
bytes are now 7890
```

Which has updated the chunks without removing them (unless there are extra) and the file doc as well. Primary benefit is speed. Please be aware of any side effects in your system for concurrent access. The [mongo-lock-php](https://github.com/gaillard/mongo-lock-php) library could help!
