OxiMod

A MongoDB ODM for Rust


Overview

OxiMod is a schema-based Object-Document Mapper (ODM) for MongoDB, designed for Rust developers who want a familiar and expressive way to model and interact with their data.

Inspired by Mongoose, OxiMod brings a structured modeling experience while embracing Rust's type safety and performance. It works with any async runtime and is currently tested using tokio.


Features

  • Schema Modeling with Macros
    Define your collections using idiomatic Rust structs and a simple derive macro.

  • Async-Friendly
    Built for asynchronous Rust. Integrates seamlessly with the mongodb driver.

  • Built-in CRUD Operations
    Use save(), find(), update(), delete(), and more directly on your types.

  • Minimal Boilerplate
    Declare a model in seconds with #[derive(Model)], #[db], and #[collection] attributes.

  • Indexing Support
    Add indexes declaratively via field-level #[index(...)] attributes.

  • Clear Error Handling
    Strongly typed, developer-friendly errors based on thiserror.


Model Attributes

OxiMod supports attributes at both the struct level and field level.

Struct-Level Attributes

  • #[db("name")]: Specifies the MongoDB database the model belongs to.
  • #[collection("name")]: Specifies the collection name within the database.

Field-Level Index Attributes

You can add indexes to fields using the #[index(...)] attribute.

Supported Options:

  • unique: Ensures values in this field are unique.
  • sparse: Indexes only documents that contain the field.
  • name = "..."": Custom name for the index.
  • background: Builds index in the background without locking the database.
  • order = 1 | -1: Index sort order (1 = ascending, -1 = descending).

Example

This example demonstrates how to define a model with schema-level and field-level metadata.

use oximod::{set_global_client, Model};
use serde::{Serialize, Deserialize};
use mongodb::bson::{doc, oid::ObjectId};

#[derive(Debug, Serialize, Deserialize, Model)]
#[db("my_app_db")]
#[collection("users")]
struct User {
    #[serde(skip_serializing_if = "Option::is_none")]
    _id: Option<ObjectId>,

    #[index(unique, name = "email_idx", order = -1)]
    email: String,

    #[index(sparse)]
    phone: Option<String>,

    name: String,
    age: i32,
    active: bool,
}

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    dotenv::dotenv().ok();
    let mongodb_uri = std::env::var("MONGODB_URI")?;
    set_global_client(mongodb_uri).await?;

    let user = User {
        _id: None,
        email: "example@example.com".into(),
        phone: Some("123-456-7890".into()),
        name: "User1".into(),
        age: 29,
        active: true,
    };

    let id = user.save().await?;
    println!("Inserted user with _id: {}", id);

    Ok(())
}

In this example:

  • #[db("my_app_db")] and #[collection("users")] configure the database and collection.
  • The email field has a descending, unique index with a custom name.
  • The phone field is indexed only when it exists in the document (sparse).

Running Examples

OxiMod includes a growing set of usage examples:

cargo run --example basic_usage
cargo run --example aggregate_usage
cargo run --example query
cargo run --example update
cargo run --example delete
cargo run --example by_id

Each file clears previous data on run and demonstrates isolated functionality.

Don't forget to create a .env file:

MONGODB_URI=mongodb://localhost:27017
