MDB CLI Databases Documentation

This guide will take you step by step on how to create and use databases using CLI


Create database

1. Run the following command in the terminal:

        
            
              $ mdb database init
            
        
    

2. Choose mongodb

3. You will be asked to create new user. Hit Enter to accept.

4. Provide username, password, database name and description.

CLI will display your username, password, database name and connections string.

Note: Your final username and database name may differ from your inputs. MDB GO may add some characters to randomize username and database name.

5. Your database is ready to use.

Connect

Node.js

        
            
              async function main(){
                /**
                * Connection URI. Update <username>, <password>, and <your-cluster-url> to reflect your cluster.
                * See https://docs.mongodb.com/ecosystem/drivers/node/ for more details
                */
                const uri = "mongodb://username:password@mongo.db.mdbgo.com:port/database_name";
                const client = new MongoClient(uri);

                try {
                  // Connect to the MongoDB cluster
                  await client.connect();

                  // Make the appropriate DB calls
                  await  listDatabases(client);
                } catch (e) {
                  console.error(e);
                } finally {
                  await client.close();
                }
              }

              main().catch(console.error);
