Mongo evolution plugin for Play 2.4

based on the sql evolution plugin from Typesafe Inc.

This plugin helps to run evolutions on mongodb databases. It uses mongo scripts written in javascript to migrate existing data to a new format. The plugin executes the scripts using the mongo console. It works the same way as the integrated sql evolutions do.

The evolution scripts need to be placed into conf/evolutions/XXX.js, where XXX denotes the evolution number (must be a valid integer). Evolutions will be executed in ascending order.

Installation

The package is published to sonatype and should get synced to maven central.

You need to add the package as a dependency:

libraryDependencies += "com.scalableminds" %% "play-mongev" % "0.4.1"

After adding the dependency, you need to load the plugin by adding this line to your conf/play.plugins file:

100:com.scalableminds.mongev.MongevPlugin

Make sure the plugin gets loaded before your mongo db driver.
