Hi. Is it possible to create django admin over an existing mongoDB database with data in it.
The database is a part of an application running on express. Can it be done?
The only module I’ve been able to find that talks about using the Django Admin with MongoDB is Djongo. (I’ve never used it, I can’t say anything about its quality or suitability for use.)
Hi Ken, I tried Djongo. It works just fine for new projects but I’m still searching for a way to integrate django on an existing database
I would make the guess that you could just define the existing MongoDB database as a different database connection, then either create a database router or custom Admin classes to access it. See Exposing multiple databases in Django’s admin interface. I’ve used those techniques many times to access secondary databases through the admin, I’d be surprised if Djongo didn’t support it.
