ReactiveMongo Support to Play! Framework 2.2

A plugin for Play 2.2, enabling support for ReactiveMongo - reactive, asynchronous and non-blocking Scala driver for MongoDB.

This provides the configuration and mongo connectivity to functionality in simple-reactivemongo

Main features

Add ReactiveMongo to your dependencies

In your project/Build.scala:

libraryDependencies ++= Seq(
  "org.reactivemongo" %% "play-reactivemongo" % "2.0.1"
)

Configure your application to use ReactiveMongo plugin

add to your conf/play.plugins

400:play.modules.reactivemongo.ReactiveMongoPlugin

Configure your database access within application.conf

This plugin reads connection properties from the application.conf and gives you an easy access to the connected database.

Add this to your conf/application.conf

The plugin will look for the mongo config under a root of the Application#mode. If no configuration is found for the current application mode then the fallback is Mode.Dev

Dev {
    mongodb {
        uri = "mongodb://username:password@localhost:27017/your_db_name"
        channels = 5
        failoverStrategy = {
            initialDelayMsecs = 100
            retries = 10
            delay = {
                function = fibonacci
                factor = 1
            }
        }
    }
}
