Short description

MongoDB is a document database. From Node, you can use the official driver or Mongoose ODM to store JSON-like documents.

Native driver connect

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

async function main() {
  const client = new MongoClient(process.env.MONGO_URL);
  await client.connect();
  const db = client.db('app');
  await db.collection('users').insertOne({ name: 'Asha' });
  const users = await db.collection('users').find().toArray();
  console.log(users);
  await client.close();
}
