I currently have to deal with a mongodb database and I am quite confused about the state of the libraries when it comes to dealing with mongodb.

The one that I see being actively maintained is elixir-mongodb-driver by @zookzook , even though the actual hex package name is named mongodb_driver.

It seems that the library provides a few constructs that are ecto-alike with Mongo.Collection:

document do
    attribute :name, String.t(), default: "warning"
    attribute :color, String.t(), default: :red
  end

This is pretty nice, however it lacks the critical features of data validation provided by ecto and changesets. In the documentation it is specified that there is ecto support too: The Elixir Driver for MongoDB — mongodb-driver v1.6.3

The question, does this integration work as expected? It does seem like mongodb_ecto was updated for the latest driver version. Can it be used for production or I should just give up and use mongodb_driver only?

PS: I’ve also found library mongodb located in the same namespace as mongodb_ecto, seems like an alternative implementation of the driver?
