Setting up Meow

Meow requires Swift 4.0 or greater to work.

You also need to install MongoDB 3.0 or greater for optimal support and have access to the MongoDB connection string.

Package.swift

In your Package.swift, add the following to your dependencies array:

.package(url: "https://github.com/OpenKitten/Meow.git", from: "1.0.0")

To your target, add the "Meow" dependency.

.target(name: "Application", dependencies: ["Meow", ...])

To set up Meow, you need to initialize the library to your preferred MongoDB instance by proving the connection string.

import Meow

try Meow.init("mongodb://localhost/my-database-name")

Modelling is one of the primary subjects of Meow. For most people it's the only relevant part of the library, since Meow takes care of the rest.

Hooks allow hooking into multiple operations of the ORM.
