#### Typescript Version
3 years ago
3 years ago
We recommend using the latest version of typescript, however we currently ensure the driver's public types compile against `typescript@4.1.6`.
This is the lowest typescript version guaranteed to work with our driver: older versions may or may not work - use at your own risk.
Since typescript [does not restrict breaking changes to major versions](https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/wiki/Breaking-Changes) we consider this support best effort.
If you run into any unexpected compiler failures against our supported TypeScript versions please let us know by filing an issue on our [JIRA](https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/NODE).

## Installation
3 years ago
3 years ago
The recommended way to get started using the Node.js 5.x driver is by using the `npm` (Node Package Manager) to install the dependency in your project.
3 years ago
3 years ago
After you've created your own project using `npm init`, you can run:
3 years ago
```bash
3 years ago
npm install mongodb
# or ...
yarn add mongodb
3 years ago
```
3 years ago
This will download the MongoDB driver and add a dependency entry in your `package.json` file.
3 years ago
3 years ago
If you are a Typescript user, you will need the Node.js type definitions to use the driver's definitions:
3 years ago
3 years ago
```sh
npm install -D @types/node

## Quick Start
3 years ago
This guide will show you how to set up a simple application using Node.js and MongoDB. Its scope is only how to set up the driver and perform the simple CRUD operations. For more in-depth coverage, see the [official documentation](https://docs.mongodb.com/drivers/node/).
3 years ago
### Create the `package.json` file
First, create a directory where your application will live.
```bash
3 years ago
mkdir myProject
cd myProject
3 years ago
```
Enter the following command and answer the questions to create the initial structure for your new project:
```bash
3 years ago
npm init -y
3 years ago
```
3 years ago
Next, install the driver as a dependency.
3 years ago
```bash
3 years ago
npm install mongodb
3 years ago
```
### Start a MongoDB Server
For complete MongoDB installation instructions, see [the manual](https://docs.mongodb.org/manual/installation/).
1. Download the right MongoDB version from [MongoDB](https://www.mongodb.org/downloads)
2. Create a database directory (in this case under **/data**).
3. Install and start a `mongod` process.
```bash
mongod --dbpath=/data
```
You should see the **mongod** process start up and print some status information.
### Connect to MongoDB
Create a new **app.js** file and add the following code to try out some basic CRUD
operations using the MongoDB driver.
3 years ago
Add code to connect to the server and the database **myProject**:
> **NOTE:** Resolving DNS Connection issues
>
> Node.js 18 changed the default DNS resolution ordering from always prioritizing ipv4 to the ordering
> returned by the DNS provider. In some environments, this can result in `localhost` resolving to
> an ipv6 address instead of ipv4 and a consequent failure to connect to the server.
>
> This can be resolved by:
>
> - specifying the ip address family using the MongoClient `family` option (`MongoClient(<uri>, { family: 4 } )`)
> - launching mongod or mongos with the ipv6 flag enabled ([--ipv6 mongod option documentation](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/reference/program/mongod/#std-option-mongod.--ipv6))
> - using a host of `127.0.0.1` in place of localhost
> - specifying the DNS resolution ordering with the `--dns-resolution-order` Node.js command line argument (e.g. `node --dns-resolution-order=ipv4first`)
3 years ago
```js
3 years ago
const { MongoClient } = require('mongodb');
// or as an es module:
// import { MongoClient } from 'mongodb'
3 years ago
// Connection URL
const url = 'mongodb://localhost:27017';
3 years ago
const client = new MongoClient(url);
3 years ago
// Database Name
3 years ago
const dbName = 'myProject';
3 years ago
3 years ago
async function main() {
// Use connect method to connect to the server
await client.connect();
console.log('Connected successfully to server');
3 years ago
const db = client.db(dbName);
3 years ago
const collection = db.collection('documents');
// the following code examples can be pasted here...
3 years ago
3 years ago
return 'done.';
}
main()
.then(console.log)
.catch(console.error)
.finally(() => client.close());
3 years ago
```
Run your app from the command line with:
```bash
node app.js
```
The application should print **Connected successfully to server** to the console.
### Insert a Document
Add to **app.js** the following function which uses the **insertMany**
method to add three documents to the **documents** collection.
```js
3 years ago
const insertResult = await collection.insertMany([{ a: 1 }, { a: 2 }, { a: 3 }]);
console.log('Inserted documents =>', insertResult);
3 years ago
```
3 years ago
The **insertMany** command returns an object with information about the insert operations.
3 years ago
### Find All Documents
Add a query that returns all the documents.
```js
3 years ago
const findResult = await collection.find({}).toArray();
console.log('Found documents =>', findResult);
3 years ago
```
3 years ago
This query returns all the documents in the **documents** collection.
If you add this below the insertMany example you'll see the document's you've inserted.
3 years ago
### Find Documents with a Query Filter
Add a query filter to find only documents which meet the query criteria.
```js
3 years ago
const filteredDocs = await collection.find({ a: 3 }).toArray();
console.log('Found documents filtered by { a: 3 } =>', filteredDocs);
3 years ago
```
Only the documents which match `'a' : 3` should be returned.
### Update a document
The following operation updates a document in the **documents** collection.
```js
3 years ago
const updateResult = await collection.updateOne({ a: 3 }, { $set: { b: 1 } });
console.log('Updated documents =>', updateResult);
3 years ago
```
3 years ago
The method updates the first document where the field **a** is equal to **3** by adding a new field **b** to the document set to **1**. `updateResult` contains information about whether there was a matching document to update or not.
3 years ago
### Remove a document
Remove the document where the field **a** is equal to **3**.
```js
3 years ago
const deleteResult = await collection.deleteMany({ a: 3 });
console.log('Deleted documents =>', deleteResult);
3 years ago
```
### Index a Collection
[Indexes](https://docs.mongodb.org/manual/indexes/) can improve your application's
performance. The following function creates an index on the **a** field in the
**documents** collection.
```js
3 years ago
const indexName = await collection.createIndex({ a: 1 });
console.log('index name =', indexName);
3 years ago
```
3 years ago
For more detailed information, see the [indexing strategies page](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/applications/indexes/).

## Error Handling
3 years ago
3 years ago
If you need to filter certain errors from our driver we have a helpful tree of errors described in [etc/notes/errors.md](https://github.com/mongodb/node-mongodb-native/blob/HEAD/etc/notes/errors.md).
3 years ago
3 years ago
It is our recommendation to use `instanceof` checks on errors and to avoid relying on parsing `error.message` and `error.name` strings in your code.
We guarantee `instanceof` checks will pass according to semver guidelines, but errors may be sub-classed or their messages may change at any time, even patch releases, as we see fit to increase the helpfulness of the errors.
3 years ago
3 years ago
Any new errors we add to the driver will directly extend an existing error class and no existing error will be moved to a different parent class outside of a major release.
This means `instanceof` will always be able to accurately capture the errors that our driver throws.
3 years ago
3 years ago
```typescript
const client = new MongoClient(url);
await client.connect();
const collection = client.db().collection('collection');
try {
await collection.insertOne({ _id: 1 });
await collection.insertOne({ _id: 1 }); // duplicate key error
} catch (error) {
if (error instanceof MongoServerError) {
console.log(`Error worth logging: ${error}`); // special case for some reason
}
throw error; // still want to crash
}
