# Oximod
**A MongoDB ODM for Rust**
---
## Overview
Oximod is a schema-based Object-Document Mapper (ODM) for MongoDB, designed for Rust developers who want a familiar and expressive way to model and interact with their data.
Inspired by Mongoose, Oximod brings a structured modeling experience while embracing Rust's type safety and performance. It works with any async runtime and is currently tested using `tokio`.
---
## Features
- **Schema Modeling with Macros**
Define your collections using idiomatic Rust structs and a simple derive macro.
- **Async-Friendly**
Built for asynchronous Rust. Integrates seamlessly with the `mongodb` driver.
- **Built-in CRUD Operations**
Use `save()`, `find()`, `update()`, `delete()`, and more directly on your types.
- **Minimal Boilerplate**
Declare a model in seconds with `#[derive(Model)]`, `#[db]`, and `#[collection]` attributes.
- **Clear Error Handling**
Strongly typed, developer-friendly errors based on `thiserror`.
---
## Example
```rust
use oximod::{set_global_client, Model};
use serde::{Serialize, Deserialize};
use mongodb::bson::{doc, oid::ObjectId};
#[derive(Debug, Serialize, Deserialize, Model)]
#[db("my_app_db")]
#[collection("users")]
struct User {
#[serde(skip_serializing_if = "Option::is_none")]
_id: Option<ObjectId>,
name: String,
age: i32,
active: bool,
}
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
dotenv::dotenv().ok();
let mongodb_uri = std::env::var("MONGODB_URI")?;
set_global_client(mongodb_uri).await?;
let user = User {
_id: None,
name: "User1".into(),
age: 29,
active: true,
};
let id = user.save().await?;
println!("Inserted user with _id: {}", id);
Ok(())
}
```

## Running Examples
Monoxide includes a growing set of usage examples:
```bash
cargo run --example basic_usage
cargo run --example aggregate_usage
cargo run --example query
cargo run --example update
cargo run --example delete
cargo run --example by_id
```
Each file clears previous data on run and demonstrates isolated functionality.
> Don't forget to create a `.env` file:

> ```env
> MONGODB_URI=mongodb://localhost:27017
> ```
