sample interface for inserting data into mongodb using node.js

1. Below is the npm module(mongodb) link which i used to create a basic interface for inserting
documents into mongodb collections using node.js

https://www.npmjs.com/package/mongodb

2. I have been using RoboMongo GUI for viewing into MongoDB Database.

Steps:

1. install node.js and mongodb 
2. create a new folder and access it thru terminal/Cmd
3. Now type npm init, it will ask you certain things and will create a package.json based on your input values.
4. mention the required dependencies for mongodb in package.json file.
5. Create a new file called index.js , and paste this below code

6. final step to run the node.js interface from the terminal type --> node index.js 

package.json

{

  "name": "mongoapp",

  "version": "1.0.0",

  "description": "new mongo",

  "main": "index.js",

  "scripts": {

    "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"

  },

  "keywords": [

    "mongo"

  ],

  "author": "chandan",

  "license": "ISC",

   "dependencies": {

    "mongodb": "~2.0"

  },

}

index.js

var MongoClient = require('mongodb').MongoClient

  , assert = require('assert');

 

// Connection URL 

var url = 'mongodb://localhost:27017/mydb';

// Use connect method to connect to the Server 

MongoClient.connect(url, function(err, db) {

  assert.equal(null, err);

  console.log("Connected correctly to server");

  insertDocuments(db,logStuff);

});

function logStuff(result)

{

console.log(result);

}

var insertDocuments = function(db, callback) {

  // Get the documents collection 

  var collection = db.collection('documents');

  // Insert some documents 

  collection.insert([

    {a : 1}, {a : 2}, {a : 3}

  ], function(err, result) {

    assert.equal(err, null);

    assert.equal(3, result.result.n);

    assert.equal(3, result.ops.length);

    console.log("Inserted 3 documents into the document collection");

    callback(result);

  });

}
