MongoDB with Node.js

Introduction

In this task, we connect MongoDB with Node.js to perform database operations using JavaScript. This allows building dynamic backend applications.

Install Required Package

npm init -y
npm install mongodb

Connect to MongoDB

const { MongoClient } = require('mongodb');

const url = 'mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017';
const client = new MongoClient(url);

async function connectDB() {
  try {
    await client.connect();
    console.log("Connected to MongoDB");
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(error);
  }
}

connectDB();

Access Database and Collection

const db = client.db('studentDB');
const collection = db.collection('students');

Insert Data

await collection.insertOne({
  name: "Rahul",
  course: "MCA"
});

Fetch Data

const data = await collection.find().toArray();
console.log(data);

Update Data

await collection.updateOne(
  { name: "Rahul" },
  { $set: { course: "MBA" } }
);

Delete Data

await collection.deleteOne({ name: "Rahul" });
