[mongoid] Require Mongo and RubyGems

Hi folks,

Im comming from Java & .NET and just starting a new private project using
mongoid and RoR.

I read on the following page from MongoDB MongoDB + RoR<http://docs.mongodb.org/ecosystem/tutorial/getting-started-with-ruby-on-rails-3/>,
that i have to

require 'rubygems'require 'mongo'

so that bson_ext is loaded. Can i instead of requiring these two, simply
add the following to my gem file:

gem "bson_ext", "1.8.2"


or is this also not necessary?

Thanks for your help
Damir

Mongoid does not currently support the 10gen driver and bson gems - this
was removed in version 3.0.0. It has it's own driver (Moped) which has it's
own BSON implementation.

So to use Mongoid in a Rails application the only thing that needs to be
in your Gemfile is:

gem "mongoid"

This will automatically include Moped and out BSON implementation.

We've got a joint effort started to rewrite the 10gen driver and BSON
gems, which hopefully will be done in time for Mongoid 4 where we can go
back to supporting to 10gen driver, but it won't be supported until at
least that point in time.
