Insert into mongodb with DBRef
How to insert a new object into mongodb using pymongo with reference to other objects using DBRef.
In mongodb, external object reference is like below:
{
"external_object": {
"$ref": "collection_where_external_object_exists",
"$id": Object("xxxxxx")
}
}
With bson.dbref.DBRef, above data can be posted to mongodb like below:
from bson.dbref import DBRef
{
"external_object": DBRef(collection="collection_where_external_object_exists",
id="xxxxxx")
}
