MongoDB

To use MongoDB as the database provider for your Remult application, follow the steps below.

Step 1: Install MongoDB Driver

Run the following command to install the mongodb package:

npm i mongodb

Step 2: Set the dataProvider Property

In your api.ts or server file, configure the dataProvider to connect to your MongoDB database:

import express from "express"
import { remultExpress } from "remult/remult-express"
import { MongoClient } from "mongodb"
import { MongoDataProvider } from "remult/remult-mongo"

const app = express()

app.use(
  remultExpress({
    dataProvider: async () => {
      const client = new MongoClient("mongodb://localhost:27017/local")
      await client.connect()
      return new MongoDataProvider(client.db("test"), client)
    }
  })
)

This setup connects to a MongoDB instance running on localhost and uses the test database. The MongoDataProvider manages the connection, allowing Remult to interact with MongoDB seamlessly.
