MongoDB is a general purpose, document-based, distributed database built for modern application developers and for the cloud era. This example will show you how to connect to and use MongoDB as your backend for your Next.js app.
If you want to learn more about MongoDB, visit the following pages:
npm install
npm run dev
# or
yarn install
yarn dev
Your app should be up and running on http://localhost:3000! If it doesn't work, post on GitHub discussions.
You will either see a message stating "You are connected to MongoDB" or "You are NOT connected to MongoDB". Ensure that you have provided the correct MONGODB_URI
environment variable.
When you are successfully connected, you can refer to the MongoDB Node.js Driver docs for further instructions on how to query your database.
You can deploy this app to the cloud with Vercel (Documentation).
To deploy your local project to Vercel, push it to GitHub/GitLab/Bitbucket and import to Vercel.
Important: When you import your project on Vercel, make sure to click on Environment Variables and set them to match your .env.local
file.
Alternatively, you can deploy using our template by clicking on the Deploy button below.
