# MongoDB

Simple example of MongoDB usage with Actix Web. For more information on the MongoDB Rust driver,
visit the [documentation](https://docs.rs/mongodb/2.0.0/mongodb/index.html) and
[source code](https://github.com/mongodb/mongo-rust-driver).

## Usage

### Install MongoDB

Visit the [MongoDB Download Center](https://www.mongodb.com/try) for instructions on how to use
MongoDB Atlas or set up MongoDB locally.

### Set an environment variable

The example code creates a client with the URI set by the `MONGODB_URI` environment variable. The
default URI for a standalone `mongod` running on localhost is "mongodb://localhost:27017". For more
information on MongoDB URIs, visit the
[connection string](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/connection-string/) entry in the
MongoDB manual.

### Run the example

To execute the example code, run `cargo run` in the `database_interactions/mongodb` directory.
