Method 1:- With A Fixed Database:-

Firstly update your .env:-

Your MONGODB_URI will look like this:- mongodb+srv://username:password@hostname/your_database_name

MONGODB_URI=mongodb+srv://username:password@hostname/your_database_name

This module will atuomatically fetch your MONGODB_URI from the .env, but make sure to use the same/default format provided by MongoDB, and make sure to add the database name too.

Import the module:-

import { connect2MongoDB, disconnect2MongoDB } from 'connect2mongodb'

To Connect:-

await connect2MongoDB();

To Disconnect:-

await disconnect2MongoDB();

To Connect with a return value:-

This will return true if Connected to the database else false.

const customVariable = await connect2MongoDB();
console.log(customVariable);

To Disconnect with a return value:-

This will return true after Disconnecting to the database.

const customVariable = await disconnect2MongoDB()
console.log(customVariable);

Method 2:- With a dynamic database:-

Firstly update your .env:-

Your MONGO_URI will look like this:- mongodb+srv://username:password@host_name/

MONGO_URI=mongodb+srv://username:password@hostname/

This module will atuomatically fetch your MONGO_URI from the .env, but make sure to use the same format, and don't add the database name after last '/'.

Import the module:-

import { connect2MongoDB, disconnect2MongoDB } from 'connect2mongodb'

To Connect:-

await connect2MongoDB('Your Database Name');

To Disconnect:-

await disconnect2MongoDB();
