Upgrading from version 2 to 3 ​

In this new major release which supports the new MongoDB PHP extension, we also moved the location of the Model class and replaced the MySQL model class with a trait.

Please change all Jenssegers\Mongodb\Model references to Jenssegers\Mongodb\Eloquent\Model either at the top of your model files or your registered alias.

php
use Jenssegers\Mongodb\Eloquent\Model;

class User extends Model
{
    //
}

If you are using hybrid relations, your MySQL classes should now extend the original Eloquent model class Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model instead of the removed Jenssegers\Eloquent\Model.

Instead use the new Jenssegers\Mongodb\Eloquent\HybridRelations trait. This should make things more clear as there is only one single model class in this package.

php
use Jenssegers\Mongodb\Eloquent\HybridRelations;

class User extends Model
{

    use HybridRelations;

    protected $connection = 'mysql';
}

Embedded relations now return an Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Collection rather than a custom Collection class. If you were using one of the special methods that were available, convert them to Collection operations.

php
$books = $user->books()->sortBy('title')->get();
