FSharp.MongoDB

Add support for F# types to .net MongoDB.Driver.

Goals of this project

• Provide support for F# types for interacting with MongoDB.
• Have an implementation that is fully testable without connecting to a server.
• Isomorphic bson serialization for C# and F#.

FSharp.MongoDB history

Repository origins are:

1. Initial repository: https://github.com/mongodb-labs/mongo-fsharp-driver-prototype
2. Fork by @visemet (Max Hirschhorn): https://github.com/visemet/FSharp.MongoDB
3. This repository: migrated to netstandard 2.1, nullable, adds new features (C#/F# isomomorphic serialization, voption support...)

Building

• build using the top-level solution file (FSharp.MongoDB.sln).
• you can use make with target build or test.

Supported platforms

This project targets netstandard2.1 (compatible runtimes).

Contributing

• If you have a question about the library, then create an issue with the question label.
• If you'd like to report a bug or submit a feature request, then create an issue with the appropriate label.
• If you'd like to contribute, then feel free to send a pull request.

Usage

Installation

To serialize F# types, first install this project via NuGet:

Package	Status	Description
FSharp.MongoDB		Add F# support to MongoDB.Driver

Register

On startup you have to register serializers:

MongoDB.Bson.Serialization.FSharp.register()

Serialization format

List

List<_> is serialized as an array. Order is preserved.

Set

Set<_> is serialized as an array. Do not rely on the order.

Array

List<_> is serialized as an array. Order is preserved.

Seq

Seq<_> is serialized as an array. Order is preserved.

Map

Map<_, _> is serialized as an object. Do not rely on the order of the keys.

Option

Option<_> is either serialized as:

• null if Option.None
• object if Option.Some

On deserialization, missing value is mapped to None.

ValueOption

ValueOption<_> is either serialized as:

• null if ValueOption.ValueNone
• object if ValueOption.ValueSome

On deserialization, missing value is mapped to ValueNone.

Record

A record is serialized as an `object.

If you want to auto-generate ObjectId (as the Id of the collection), add [<CLIMutable>] on the record.

Discriminated union

The case of the discriminated union is stored in _t key. Each value of the DU is serialized as an object using its corresponding value name.

Nullable Reference Type

NRT are serialized as:

• null if Null
• object if NonNull object

⚠️ As of now, NRT can't be considered null when deserializing if value is missing.
