mongodb support

Feature Request

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Currently, the loco.rs framework lacks native support for MongoDB, which complicates integration with projects that rely on MongoDB as a database solution. I encounter an issue when attempting to implement MongoDB within loco.rs, as there's no built-in support or straightforward configuration available.

Describe the solution you'd like

I'd like loco.rs to include official MongoDB support, allowing seamless integration with MongoDB databases. This could be achieved by adding a database adapter or middleware that supports MongoDB operations (such as querying, inserting, updating, and deleting documents) and providing built-in configuration options for connection management.

Describe alternatives you've considered

As an alternative, I considered creating comprehensive documentation on how to manually connect to MongoDB within loco.rs using a Rust MongoDB driver. This would include guidelines for setting up a connection, performing CRUD operations, and handling connection management. However, this approach requires manual implementation and might lead to inconsistencies or complications for users.

Seaorm and sqlx only has support for PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQLite. You could ignore the models section and add database queries like normal Axum code.

Please look at the extras repo in the loco-rs org. there is an example of how to use MongoDB.

I don’t suppose we want to do MongoDB as a native DB. Currently we support what ever SeaORM support 👍🏻
