How do I set up a connection to MongoDB?

To connect to MongoDB, you'll need to install the MongoDB driver for your programming language. Which language are you using?

I'm using Node.js.

Great! You can use the mongodb package. First, install it using npm: npm install mongodb. Then, you can connect using the following code snippet.

Can you show me the code snippet?

Sure! Here's a basic example:

const { MongoClient } = require('mongodb');
const uri = 'your_mongodb_connection_string';
const client = new MongoClient(uri);

async function run() {
    try {
        await client.connect();
        console.log('Connected to MongoDB!');
    } finally {
        await client.close();
    }
}
run().catch(console.dir);

What should I replace in the connection string?

Replace your_mongodb_connection_string with your actual MongoDB URI, which includes your username, password, and database name.
