## 🚀 Quick Start

### Basic Usage

```php
<?php
require_once 'MongoLite/Database.php';

use MongoLite\Database;

// Create database
$db = new Database('/path/to/database.db');
$collection = $db->selectCollection('users');

// Insert documents
$collection->insert([
    'name' => 'John Doe',
    'email' => 'john@example.com',
    'age' => 30,
    'location' => ['coordinates' => [-74.0059, 40.7128]]
]);

// Query documents
$users = $collection->find(['age' => ['$gte' => 25]])->toArray();

// Update documents
$collection->update(['name' => 'John Doe'], ['$set' => ['age' => 31]]);

// Delete documents
$collection->remove(['age' => ['$lt' => 18]]);
```

### Update Operations

```php
// Update operators
$collection->update(
    ['name' => 'John Doe'],  // Criteria
    [
        '$set' => ['email' => 'newemail@example.com'],     // Set/update fields
        '$unset' => ['temporaryField' => 1],               // Remove fields
        '$inc' => ['loginCount' => 1, 'score' => -5],      // Increment numbers
        '$push' => ['tags' => 'mongodb'],                  // Append to array
        '$addToSet' => ['categories' => 'database']        // Add unique to array
    ]
);

// $set - Set or update field values (supports dot notation)
$collection->update(
    ['_id' => $userId],
    ['$set' => [
        'profile.name' => 'Jane Doe',
        'profile.address.city' => 'New York'
    ]]
);

    ['$unset' => [
        'temporaryData' => 1,
        'profile.obsoleteField' => true
    ]]
);

// $inc - Increment numeric fields (creates field if doesn't exist)
$collection->update(
    ['_id' => $productId],
    ['$inc' => [
        'viewCount' => 1,        // Increment by 1
        'stock' => -5,           // Decrement by 5
        'newField' => 10         // Creates with value 10 if doesn't exist
    ]]
);

// $push - Append values to arrays
$collection->update(
    ['_id' => $postId],
    ['$push' => [
        'comments' => ['user' => 'John', 'text' => 'Great post!'],
        'tags' => 'featured'
    ]]
);

// $push with $each - Append multiple values
$collection->update(
    ['_id' => $postId],
    ['$push' => [
        'tags' => ['$each' => ['mongodb', 'database', 'nosql']]
    ]]
);

// $addToSet - Add unique values to arrays

## 📋 API Reference

### Database Class

```php
$db = new Database($path, $options = []);

// Collection management
$collection = $db->selectCollection($name);
$db->createCollection($name);
$db->dropCollection($name);
$names = $db->getCollectionNames();

// Security
$safeName = $db->sanitizeCollectionName($name);

// Utility
$db->vacuum(); // Optimize database
$db->drop();   // Delete database
```

### Collection Class

```php
// CRUD Operations
$result = $collection->insert($document);
$count = $collection->insertMany($documents);

$cursor = $collection->find($criteria, $projection);
$document = $collection->findOne($criteria, $projection);

$affected = $collection->update($criteria, $updates, $merge = true);
$collection->remove($criteria);

// Aggregation
$cursor = $collection->aggregate($pipeline);

// Counting
$count = $collection->count($criteria);                     // May include skip/limit
$count = $collection->countDocuments($criteria);            // Accurate count ignoring skip/limit
$count = $collection->estimatedDocumentCount();             // Fast total count

// Utility
$collection->drop();
```

### Update Operators

| Operator | Description | Example |
|----------|-------------|---------|
| `$set` | Sets field values (creates if doesn't exist) | `['$set' => ['name' => 'John']]` |
| `$unset` | Removes fields from documents | `['$unset' => ['field' => 1]]` |
| `$inc` | Increments numeric fields | `['$inc' => ['count' => 1]]` |
| `$push` | Appends values to arrays | `['$push' => ['tags' => 'new']]` |
| `$addToSet` | Adds unique values to arrays | `['$addToSet' => ['tags' => 'unique']]` |

**Modifier Support:**
- `$each` - Used with `$push` and `$addToSet` to add multiple values
  ```php
  ['$push' => ['tags' => ['$each' => ['tag1', 'tag2']]]]
  ```

**Dot Notation:**
All update operators support dot notation for nested fields:
```php
['$set' => ['address.city' => 'New York']]
['$inc' => ['stats.views' => 1]]
```

### Cursor Class

```php
// Iteration
foreach ($cursor as $document) {
    // Process document
}

// Conversion
$array = $cursor->toArray();

// Pagination
$cursor->skip($offset)->limit($count);
$cursor->sort(['field' => 1]); // 1 = ASC, -1 = DESC
```

// Register custom SQLite functions
$db->connection->sqliteCreateFunction('custom_func', function($value) {
    return strtoupper($value);
});
```

## 📊 Performance Guidelines

### Optimization Tips

1. **Use Projections**: Limit returned fields
   ```php
   $collection->find($criteria, ['name' => 1, 'email' => 1]);
   ```

2. **Efficient Filtering**: Place most selective criteria first
   ```php
   ['status' => 'active', 'age' => ['$gte' => 18]] // status first if more selective
   ```

3. **Limit Results**: Use pagination for large datasets
   ```php
   $collection->find($criteria)->skip(0)->limit(50);
   ```

4. **Aggregation Optimization**: Filter early in pipeline
   ```php
   [
       ['$match' => $criteria],      // Filter first
       ['$group' => $grouping],      // Then group
       ['$sort' => $sorting]         // Finally sort
   ]
   ```

5. **Query Optimizer**: Leverage automatic optimization
   ```php
   // ✅ Optimized (5-9x faster on large datasets)
   $collection->find(['status' => 'active']);
   $collection->find(['age' => ['$gt' => 25]]);
   $collection->find(['tags' => 'featured']);  // Array containment
   $collection->find(['category' => ['$in' => ['A', 'B']]]);
   $collection->find(['$and' => [['status' => 'active'], ['age' => ['$gt' => 30]]]]);
   
   // ⚠️ Falls back to PHP (still correct, but slower)
   $collection->find(['name' => ['$regex' => '/^John/']]);
   $collection->find(['meta.rating' => 5]);  // Dot notation
   $collection->find(['users.name' => 'Jane']);  // Array traversal
   ```
   
   **Optimizer Coverage:**
   - ✅ Top-level field queries (no dots)
   - ✅ Comparison operators: `$eq`, `$ne`, `$gt`, `$gte`, `$lt`, `$lte`
   - ✅ Set operators: `$in`, `$nin`
   - ✅ Element operators: `$exists`, `$type`, `$size`
   - ✅ Logical operators: `$and`, `$or`
   - ✅ Array containment (scalar values)
   - ❌ Regex patterns (`$regex`)
   - ❌ Dot-notation fields (nested objects/arrays)
   - ❌ Complex operators (`$elemMatch`, `$where`, `$expr`)

### Memory Management

```php
// Process large datasets in chunks
$offset = 0;
$limit = 1000;

while (true) {
    $batch = $collection->find($criteria)
        ->skip($offset)
        ->limit($limit)
        ->toArray();
    
    if (empty($batch)) break;
    
    // Process batch
    foreach ($batch as $document) {
        // Handle document
    }
    
    $offset += $limit;
}
```

## 🔒 Security Best Practices

### Input Validation

```php
// ✅ Good: Use sanitization
$safeName = $db->sanitizeCollectionName($userInput);
if ($safeName === null) {
    throw new InvalidArgumentException('Invalid collection name');
}

// ✅ Good: Validate field names
$allowedFields = ['name', 'email', 'age'];
$projection = array_intersect_key($userProjection, array_flip($allowedFields));
```

### Query Safety

```php
// ✅ Good: Use MongoDB operators
$criteria = [
    'email' => ['$regex' => preg_quote($searchTerm)]
];

// ❌ Avoid: String interpolation in queries
// $criteria = ['email' => '/' . $searchTerm . '/i']; // Potentially unsafe
```

## 🧪 Testing

### Unit Tests

```php
<?php
use MongoLite\Database;

// Test setup
$db = new Database(':memory:');
$collection = $db->selectCollection('test');

// Test insert
$doc = ['name' => 'Test', 'value' => 123];
$collection->insert($doc);

// Test query
$result = $collection->findOne(['name' => 'Test']);
assert($result['value'] === 123);

// Test aggregation
$stats = $collection->aggregate([
    ['$group' => [
        '_id' => null,
        'total' => ['$sum' => '$value']
    ]]
])->toArray();

assert($stats[0]['total'] === 123);
```

### Performance Testing

```php
// Benchmark aggregation performance
$start = microtime(true);

$results = $collection->aggregate([
    ['$match' => ['status' => 'active']],
    ['$group' => ['_id' => '$category', 'count' => ['$sum' => 1]]],
    ['$sort' => ['count' => -1]]
])->toArray();

$elapsed = microtime(true) - $start;
echo "Aggregation took: " . round($elapsed, 3) . "s\n";
```

## 🔧 Troubleshooting

### Common Issues

**Q: "Call to undefined function"**
```php
// Ensure all required files are included
require_once 'MongoLite/Database.php';
require_once 'MongoLite/Collection.php';
require_once 'MongoLite/UtilArrayQuery.php';
```

**Q: "Permission denied" on database file**
```bash
# Fix file permissions
chmod 644 /path/to/database.db
chmod 755 /path/to/database/directory
```

**Q: "Invalid collection name" error**
```php
// Use sanitization for user input
$safeName = $db->sanitizeCollectionName($userInput);
if ($safeName) {
    $collection = $db->selectCollection($safeName);
}
```

**Q: Poor aggregation performance**
```php
// Optimize pipeline order
$pipeline = [
    ['$match' => $criteria],     // Filter first
    ['$group' => $grouping],     // Then group  
    ['$sort' => $sorting],       // Sort last
    ['$limit' => 100]            // Limit results
];
```

### Debug Mode

```php
// Enable SQLite logging for debugging
$db->connection->sqliteCreateFunction('debug_log', function($message) {
    error_log("MongoLite Debug: $message");
    return $message;
});
```
