How to get dictionary object in Mongoengine Python?
Question:
On querying pymongo i get a dictionary object that can be sent directly as a response to the api request. Where as mongoengine returns a Document object on querying database. So I have to parse every object before it can be sent as the response in the api.
this is how I have to query in mongoengine.
users = User.objects(location = 'US')
This will return me a BaseQueryList object which contains User model type object. Instead I need that it should return me a list of dictionary type objects of Users.
Answers:
In BaseQueryList there is one method called as_pymongo, we can use this to get rows as list of dict like where we get pymongo. The following is an example
users = User.objects(location = 'US').as_pymongo()
OR
In BaseQueryList there are in list of User class objects.
In User class object there is one method called _data, this will returns data as dict
So you can try like following
users = [user._data for user in users._iter_results()]
It could be help you.
Mongoengine has to_mongo() method that gives you Python dict.
users = User.objects(location = 'US')
users.to_mongo()
