Query MongoDB Atlas

You can work with data in a linked MongoDB Data Source from a function by using a built-in data source client. The client includes methods that allow you to read, write, and aggregate data.

For examples of how to work with a data source in a function, refer to the following guides:

For detailed reference information on available query and aggregation methods, see MongoDB API Reference.

exports = async function() {
  // 1. Get a data source client
  const mongodb = context.services.get("mongodb-atlas");
  // 2. Get a database & collection
  const db = mongodb.db("myDatabase")
  const collection = db.collection("myCollection")
  // 3. Read and write data with MongoDB queries
  await collection.insertOne({
    text: "Hello, world!",
    author: context.user.id
  })
  return await collection.findOne({
    author: context.user.id
  })
}
