MongoDB

MongoDB is a general purpose, document-based, distributed database built for modern application developers and for the cloud era. This example will show you how to connect to and use MongoDB as your backend for your Next.js app.

If you want to learn more about MongoDB, visit the following pages:

• MongoDB Atlas
• MongoDB Documentation

Installation and Usage

Set up a MongoDB database

Set up a MongoDB database either locally or with MongoDB Atlas for free.

Set up environment variables

Copy the env.local.example file in this directory to .env.local (which will be ignored by Git):

cp .env.local.example .env.local

Set each variable on .env.local:

• MONGODB_URI - Your MongoDB connection string. If you are using MongoDB Atlas you can find this by clicking the "Connect" button for your cluster.

Run Next.js in development mode

npm install
npm run dev

# or

yarn install
yarn dev

Your app should be up and running on http://localhost:3000 Ensure that you have provided the correct MONGODB_URI environment variable.

When you are successfully connected, you can refer to the MongoDB Node.js Driver docs for further instructions on how to query your database.
