Hello everyone, Hope you well
If you wanna find the PHP framework working with NOSQL, (Mongodb). Laravel is the best solution for you. (Laravel at current version is 8 now). So I will show you how to connect Laravel 8 with MongoDB at this time.
Step 0: Install MongoDB, MongoDB PHP
Step 1: Install Laravel 8
Step 2: Configure MongoDB database
Step 3: Install laravel-mongodb Package
Step 4: Add Route
Step 5: Create Model and Controller
Step 6: Create Blade Files
-----------------------------
First Step: Step MongoDB Shell: by this link
This is MongoDB shell (server)
NextL Setup MongoDB PHP. if you use XAMPP, you can follow me (similar with MAPP, etc, ...)
First check your PHP Version by type url: https://localhost/dashboard/phpinfo.php
After found your architecture, and php version; we go to this link for get mongodb-dll
- Copy php_mongodb.dll and php_mongodb.pdb files to PHP extension file directory ...\PHPTutorial\php\php-7.4.5\ext.
- Edit the php.ini file and add extension=php_mongodb.dll to it.
- Restart XAMPP
- After setup succeed pls check below url and see the result like that
Step 1: Now start create Laravel project by command

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel laravel8_crud_mongodb
Step 2: Config MongoDB connection. (At .env file)
MONGO_DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
MONGO_DB_PORT=27017
MONGO_DB_DATABASE=mongoproject
MONGO_DB_USERNAME=
MONGO_DB_PASSWORD=
Now, we have to add a connection array of MongoDB in the config/database.php file.
'connections' => [
...
'mongodb' => [
'driver' => 'mongodb',
'host' => env('MONGO_DB_HOST', 'localhost'),
'port' => env('MONGO_DB_PORT', 27017),
'database' => env('MONGO_DB_DATABASE'),
'username' => env('MONGO_DB_USERNAME'),
'password' => env('MONGO_DB_PASSWORD'),
'options' => []
],
]
Step 3: Install Laravel MongoDB Package
composer require jenssegers/mongodb
After the install the package We will add below providers in the config/app.php file.
<?php
[
....
Jenssegers\Mongodb\MongodbServiceProvider::class,
]
.....
]
?>
Step 4: Add Router:
We have to need put below the student resource route in routes/web.php
use App\Http\Controllers\StudentController;
Route::resource('student',StudentController::class);
php artisan make:controller StudentController --resource --model=Student
Model: Student.php
<?php
namespace App\Models;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
// use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Jenssegers\Mongodb\Eloquent\Model; // use this, this is very important!!!
class Student extends Model
{
use HasFactory;
protected $connection = 'mongodb';
protected $collection = 'students';
protected $fillable = [
'first_name', 'last_name', 'address',
];
}
Model: StudentController.php
validate([
'txtFirstName'=>'required',
'txtLastName'=> 'required',
'txtAddress' => 'required'
]);
$student = new Student([
'first_name' => $request->get('txtFirstName'),
'last_name'=> $request->get('txtLastName'),
'address'=> $request->get('txtAddress')
]);
$student->save();
return redirect('/student')->with('success', 'Student has been added');
}
/**
* Display the specified resource.
*
* @param \App\Student $student
* @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
*/
public function show(Student $student)
{
//
return view('student.view',compact('student'));
}
/**
* Show the form for editing the specified resource.
*
* @param \App\Student $student
* @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
*/
public function edit(Student $student)
{
//
return view('student.edit',compact('student'));
}
/**
* Update the specified resource in storage.
*
* @param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request
* @param \App\Student $student
* @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
*/
public function update(Request $request,$id)
{
//
$request->validate([
'txtFirstName'=>'required',
'txtLastName'=> 'required',
'txtAddress' => 'required'
]);
$student = Student::find($id);
$student->first_name = $request->get('txtFirstName');
$student->last_name = $request->get('txtLastName');
$student->address = $request->get('txtAddress');
$student->update();
return redirect('/student')->with('success', 'Student updated successfully');
}
/**
* Remove the specified resource from storage.
*
* @param \App\Student $student
* @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
*/
public function destroy(Student $student)
{
//
$student->delete();
return redirect('/student')->with('success', 'Student deleted successfully');
}
}
?>
Step 6: Create Blade Files
Finally, we will create the layout.blade.php files and the second time we will create list.blade.php, create.blade.php, view.blade.php, and edit.blade.php in “resources/views/student/” directory.

You will get some authentication problem for MongoDB
Remember change all:
// use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
to => use Jenssegers\Mongodb\Eloquent\Model; on the model
If you cannot do it on the tutorial you can download my github source code here.
