mongodb module: This Module is used to performing CRUD(Create Read Update Read) Operations in MongoDb using Node.js. We cannot make a database only. We have to make a new Collection to see the database. The connect() method is used for connecting the MongoDb server with the Node.js project.
Please refer this link for connect() method.
Installing module:
npm install mongodb
Starting MongoDB server:
mongod --dbpath=data --bind_ip 127.0.0.1
- Data is the directory name where server is located.
- 127.0.0.1 ip address where server will be running.
Project Structure:
Filename index.js
const MongoClient = require('mongodb');
// server location
const url = 'mongodb://localhost:27017';

console.log('Database created');
// database name
const db = client.db("GFGNodejs");
// collection name
db.createCollection("GFGNEW");
})
Output:
