Introduction

The MongoDB Binders plugin facilitates the seamless integration of MongoDB and Joget. This integration currently utilises few plugin types:

Data List Filter - Includes types for: Date, Date Range, Number, Options, Text Field.
Datalist Binder - To populate datalist with data retrieve from MongoDB database.
Form Load Binder - To retrieve form data from MongoDB database.
Form Store Binder - To store form data to MongoDB database.
Form Options Binder - To populate options field with data retrieve from MongoDB database.

MongoDB is an object-oriented, simple, dynamic, and scalable NoSQL database. It is based on the NoSQL document store model.

The data objects are stored as separate documents inside a collection — instead of storing the data into the columns and rows of a traditional relational database.

With this integration plugins, you can now store and load data from form, datalist, and grid.
