MongoGridFS::put - Stores a file in the database

SYNOPSIS

       public mixed MongoGridFS::put (string  $filename, [array  $metadata = array()], [array  $options = array()])

DESCRIPTION

       Note

	      MongoGridFS::put is an alias of MongoGridFS::storeFile.

PARAMETERS

	      o $filename
		- Name of the file to store.

	      o $metadata
		- Other metadata fields to include in the file document.

	      Note

		     These  fields  may  also  overwrite those that would be created automatically by the driver, as described in the MongoDB core
		     documentation for the files collection. Some practical use cases for this behavior would be to specify a custom chunkSize	or
		     _id for the file.

	      o $options
		-  An  array of options for the insert operations executed against the chunks and files collections. See MongoCollection.insert(3)
		for documentation on these these options.

RETURN VALUES

       Returns the _id of the saved file document. This will be a generated MongoId unless an _id was explicitly specified in the $metadata param-
       eter.

ERRORS
/EXCEPTIONS
	Throws MongoGridFSException if there is an error reading $filename or inserting into the chunks or files collections.

NAME

       MongoDB::GridFS - A file storage utility

SYNOPSIS

	   use MongoDB::GridFS;

	   my $grid = $database->get_gridfs;
	   my $fh = IO::File->new("myfile", "r");
	   $grid->insert($fh, {"filename" => "mydbfile"});

       There are two interfaces for GridFS: a file-system/collection-like interface (insert, remove, drop, find_one) and a more general interface
       (get, put, delete).  Their functionality is the almost identical (get, put and delete are always safe ops, insert, remove, and find_one are
       optionally safe), using one over the other is a matter of preference.

SEE ALSO

       Core documentation on GridFS: <http://dochub.mongodb.org/core/gridfs>.

ATTRIBUTES

   chunk_size
       The number of bytes per chunk.  Defaults to 1048576.

   prefix
       The prefix used for the collections.  Defaults to "fs".

   files
       Collection in which file metadata is stored.  Each document contains md5 and length fields, plus user-defined metadata (and an _id).

   chunks
       Actual content of the files stored.  Each chunk contains up to 4Mb of data, as well as a number (its order within the file) and a files_id
       (the _id of the file in the files collection it belongs to).

METHODS

   get($id)
	   my $file = $grid->get("my file");

       Get a file from GridFS based on its _id.  Returns a MongoDB::GridFS::File.

   put($fh, $metadata)
	   my $id = $grid->put($fh, {filename => "pic.jpg"});

       Inserts a file into GridFS, adding a MongoDB::OID as the _id field if the field is not already defined.	This is a wrapper for
       "MongoDB::GridFS::insert", see that method below for more information.

       Returns the _id field.

   delete($id)
	   $grid->delete($id)

       Removes the file with the given _id.  Will die if the remove is unsuccessful.  Does not return anything on success.

   find_one ($criteria?, $fields?)
	   my $file = $grid->find_one({"filename" => "foo.txt"});

       Returns a matching MongoDB::GridFS::File or undef.

   remove ($criteria?, $options?)
	   $grid->remove({"filename" => "foo.txt"});

       Cleanly removes files from the database.  $options is a hash of options for the remove.	Possible options are:

       just_one If true, only one file matching the criteria will be removed.
       safe If true, each remove will be checked for success and die on failure.

       This method doesn't return anything.

   insert ($fh, $metadata?, $options?)
	   my $id = $gridfs->insert($fh, {"content-type" => "text/html"});

       Reads from a file handle into the database.  Saves the file with the given metadata.  The file handle must be readable.	$options can be
       "{"safe" =" true}>, which will do safe inserts and check the MD5 hash calculated by the database against an MD5 hash calculated by the
       local filesystem.  If the two hashes do not match, then the chunks already inserted will be removed and the program will die.

       Because "MongoDB::GridFS::insert" takes a file handle, it can be used to insert very long strings into the database (as well as files).
       $fh must be a FileHandle (not just the native file handle type), so you can insert a string with:

	   # open the string like a file
	   my $basic_fh;
	   open($basic_fh, '<', $very_long_string);

	   # turn the file handle into a FileHandle
	   my $fh = FileHandle->new;
	   $fh->fdopen($basic_fh, 'r');

	   $gridfs->insert($fh);

   drop
	   @files = $grid->drop;

       Removes all files' metadata and contents.

   all
	   @files = $grid->all;

       Returns a list of the files in the database.
