Reactive Scala Driver for MongoDB

Asynchronous & Non-Blocking

Setup your project

We assume that you got a running MongoDB instance. If not, get the latest MongoDB binaries and unzip the archive. Then you can launch the database:

$ mkdir /path/to/data
$ /path/to/bin/mongod --dbpath /path/to/data

This will start a standalone MongoDB instance that stores its data in the data directory and listens on the TCP port 27017.

Set up your project dependencies (SBT)

ReactiveMongo is available on Maven Central.

If you use SBT, you just have to edit build.sbt and add the following:

// you may also want to add the typesafe repository
resolvers += "Typesafe repository releases" at "http://repo.typesafe.com/typesafe/releases/"

libraryDependencies ++= Seq(
  "org.reactivemongo" %% "reactivemongo" % "0.11.14"
)

Or if you want to be on the bleeding edge using snapshots:

resolvers += "Sonatype Snapshots" at "http://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/"

libraryDependencies ++= Seq(
  "org.reactivemongo" %% "reactivemongo" % "0.12.0-SNAPSHOT"
)

Next: Connect to the database
