[Question] Should I use moloquent/moloquent or this repository ?

[CaporalDead]

Hi !

I'm looking for an ODM to work with Laravel as a long term solution in my company and I found your package and moloquent/moloquent and I'm a little bit confused because :

• Your package have way more downloads than moloquent's
• Your package have a lot of unresolved issues with some since 2014
• This quote from moloquent : "The base repo WAS and IS being developed and maintained by Jenssegers. Our goal is to provide higher quality support/bugfixes with fresh and additional features."
• Your the main maintainer of this repo and moloquent
• moloquent have a nice online documentation

I looked at the network graph and it seems that moloquent does not get any PR from this repository.

I just want to know what are the main differences between those 2 packages :).

Thanks for your time.

Our goal is to provide higher quality support/bugfixes with fresh and additional features.

It's simply not true. And there's lack of support.

For example issue with Laravel 5.4 compatibility wasn't resolved by them - they are/were waiting for main repo to be updated.

I've wasted a lot of time with moloquent/moloquent and went to back to the jenssegers/laravel-mongodb (support it's not great, but community is more engaged).

Same for me as @markszymik said.

Hello guys,

This library is being updated and any issues/prs are taken care instantly.

Moloquent hasn't been updated since 2017.

Sorry for late reply. Thanks.

Thanks @divine for the feedback :). Just FYI, we decided at that time to use this package and it's been almost 3 years now that we are happy with it !
