[phuocduy1988]

I am using your project laravel-mongodb. It is very helpful for me.
However, I have some problem when using laravel-mongodb.

1. How I create a collection with custom field when insert -> like:
   {
   '_id' : AUTO_INCREMENT
   'username' : unique (phuocduy1988)
   'view_count' : interger 64 bit ()
   'average' : double
   }

2. How to make index for username

3. Please give me more example how to using:
   $client = DB::getMongoClient();
   $db = DB::getMongoDB();

4. I cannot using DB in laravel Controller
   $client = DB::collection('spot')->where('name', 'John')->get();
   I got an error:
   Call to undefined method Illuminate\Database\MySqlConnection::collection();

Please help me!

I have the same issue.

I found the Solution for this error.
You have to use this

$db = \DB::connection('mongodb')->getMongoClient();

and mongodb is the name that you use in the config/database.php

Thank Wu4m4n,
I found other solution.
I custom other class to connect direct to mongodb via php driver mongodb/mongodb.
