How do I set up a connection between Node.js and MongoDB?

To set up a connection, you'll need to install the MongoDB driver for Node.js. You can do this using npm with the command: npm install mongodb.

What are the steps after installing the driver?

After installing the driver, you can create a MongoClient instance and connect to your MongoDB server using the connection string.

Can you show me a code example?

Sure! Here's a simple 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);
