# Using MongoDB
The [vapor/mongodb](https://github.com/OpenKitten/MongoKitten) package is an extremely performant, reactive and pure swift MonogDB driver. It provides a simple interface to MongoDB for powerful features.
On top of [vapor/mysql](https://github.com/vapor/mysql), we have built [vapor/fluent-sqlite](https://github.com/vapor/fluent-sqlite) which allows SQLite databases to be used with Fluent.
## Just MongoDB
This package works really well with _and_ without Fluent. To include this package in your project, simply add it to your Package manifest.
```swift
// swift-tools-version:4.0
import PackageDescription
let package = Package(
name: "Project",
dependencies: [
...
.package(url: "https://github.com/OpenKitten/MongoKitten.git", .revision("master/5.0")),
],
targets: [
.target(name: "Project", dependencies: ["MongoKitten", ... ])
]
)
```
If this is your first time adding a dependency, you should read our introduction to [Package.swift](../../getting-started/spm.md).
If this is your first time using MongoDB, have a look at the [setup guides](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/administration/install-community/).
The official documentation assumed either the MongoDB shell or one of their more popular (official) drivers.
Please refer to [the MongoKitten interpretation guide](interpreting.md) before reading the [official documentation](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/tutorial/getting-started/).
Use `import MongoKitten` to access the APIs.
## With Fluent
To use MongoDB with Fluent, you just need to make sure to add the [vapor/fluent-mongodb](https://github.com/vapor/fluent-mongodb) package to your project.
To do this, add the Fluent MySQL package to your Package manifest.
```swift
// swift-tools-version:4.0
import PackageDescription
let package = Package(
name: "Project",
dependencies: [
...
.package(url: "https://github.com/vapor/fluent-mongodb.git", .revision("beta")),
],
targets: [
.target(name: "Project", dependencies: ["FluentMongoDB", ... ])
]
)
```
If this is your first time adding a dependency, you should read our introduction to [Package.swift](../../getting-started/spm.md).
Use `import FluentMongoDB` to access MongoDB's Fluent compatible APIs. [Learn more about the Fluent APIs here](../../fluent/getting-started/provider.md)
<!-- ### Setting up services -->
<!--
In order to set up MongoDB with Fluent you first need to register the Fluent provider:
```swift
try services.provider(FluentProvider())
```
After this, you need to register the MySQL config and database.
```swift
services.instance(FluentMySQLConfig())
var databaseConfig = DatabaseConfig()
let username = "<mysql-user-here>"
let password = "<mysql-pass-here>"
let database = "<mysql-database>"
let db = MySQLDatabase(hostname: "localhost", user: username, password: password, database: database)
databaseConfig.add(database: db, as: .mysql)
services.instance(databaseConfig)
```
Notice the variable `mysqlDB`. This is an identifier for the MySQL database.
You need to create an identifier for each database you attach to Fluent.
The following identifer can be global, or as a static variable in an extension on `DatabaseIdentifier`.
```swift
extension DatabaseIdentifier {
static var mysql: DatabaseIdentifier<MySQLDatabase> {
return .init("foo")
}
}
```
Last, you can specify migrations for Fluent to execute. This can be used for creating and altering schemas and migrating data within the table.
Fluent `Model`s that conform to the protocol `Migration` automatically inherit a migration for schema creation. Nothing needs to be programmed for this.
```swift
var migrationConfig = MigrationConfig()
migrationConfig.add(model: MyModel.self, database: .mysql)
services.instance(migrationConfig)
``` -->
More info on working with Fluent can be found [here](../../fluent/getting-started/getting-started.md).
