Problem

Description:

Currently, the database context provider supports Sqlite, Postgres, and MySQL databases. To enhance its versatility and accommodate a wider range of use cases, it is proposed to add support for MongoDB.

Solution

Proposed Changes:

1. Extend the connection_type enum:

   • Add the mongodb option to the connection_type enum.

2. Define MongoDB-specific connection parameters:

   • Introduce the following parameters within the mongodb connection object:
     • host (string): The hostname or IP address of the MongoDB server.
     • port (number): The port number on which the MongoDB server is listening.
     • username (string): The username for authentication.
     • password (string): The password for authentication.
     • database (string): The name of the database to connect to.
     • authSource (string): The name of the authentication database (optional).
     • replicaSet (string): The name of the replica set (optional).
     • ssl (boolean): Whether to enable SSL/TLS encryption (optional).

3. Implement MongoDB connection logic:

   • Utilize a suitable MongoDB driver (e.g., pymongo) to establish a connection using the provided parameters.
   • Handle authentication, replica set configuration, and SSL/TLS settings as needed.

Example Configuration:

{
  "contextProviders": [
    {
      "name": "database",
      "params": {
        "connections": [
          {
            "name": "exampleMongoDB",
            "connection_type": "mongodb",
            "connection": {
              "host": "mongodb://localhost:27017",
              "username": "yourUsername",
              "password": "yourPassword",
              "database": "exampleDB"
            }
          }
        ]
      }
    }
  ]
}

Benefits:

• Increased flexibility and adaptability of the database context provider.
• Support for a wider range of data storage solutions.
• Potential for integration with MongoDB-specific features and functionalities.
