📝 MongoDB Cluster Database URL

As Many people were having troubles on generating an MongoDB Cluster Database URL. Just follow these steps, and you are good to go!

Note : Please read The Official MongoDB Documentation since they have actual docs and details about how MongoDB actually works.

1) Making an Account

• In order to create a database, You need to create an account in the cloud. You can Register through Here

2) Creating an Cluster

• Once, you've registered yourself and made an account in the cloud. You can click on New Project then head over to the Clusters tab and hit on Build a Cluster

3) Connecting to the Cluster

• As you created your first Cluster, You will need to whitelist your IP in order to connect to the database. First Click on the Connect button.

• Then go ahead and WhiteList your IP by Adding it, Then create a Username and Password (You'll need them in order to connect to the db)

4) Choosing a connection Method

• Since we are focused on creating the Application in order to get a database URL, Click on Connect your Application out of the three

5) Getting the Database Link

• Once you hit Connect your Application. You will see an option to select your driver and the version. In my case, I am using Node.js.

• After selecting your Driver and the Version, MongoDB will auto generate you a link for the database. You just need to Replace <password> with the password & Replace myFirstDatabase with the name of the database that connections will use by default.

✨ There you have it, You've successfully generated a MongoDB Cluster Database URL!

• Note: You can Access your database by going into the Collections tab. Metrics Tab will show you seperate charts and graphs providing the info stored in your database
