Node & MongoDB - Insert Document
To insert document(s) in a collection of a database, you can use collection.insertOne() or collection.insertMany() methods to insert one or multiple documents.
database.collection("sampleCollection").insertOne(firstDocument, function(error, res) { if (error) throw error; console.log("1 document inserted"); }); database.collection("sampleCollection").insertMany(documents, function(error, res) { if (error) throw error; console.log("Documents inserted: " + res.insertedCount); });
Example
Try the following example to insert documents in a mongodb collection −
Copy and paste the following example as mongodb_example.js −
const MongoClient = require('mongodb').MongoClient; // Prepare URL const url = "mongodb://localhost:27017/"; const firstDocument = { First_Name : 'Mahesh', Last_Name : 'Parashar', Date_Of_Birth: '1990-08-21', e_mail: 'mahesh_parashar.123@gmail.com', phone: '9034343345' }; const documents = [{ First_Name : 'Radhika', Last_Name : 'Sharma', Date_Of_Birth: '1995-09-26', e_mail: 'radhika_sharma.123@gmail.com', phone: '9000012345' }, { First_Name : 'Rachel', Last_Name : 'Christopher', Date_Of_Birth: '1990-02-16', e_mail: 'rachel_christopher.123@gmail.com', phone: '9000054321' }, { First_Name : 'Fathima', Last_Name : 'Sheik', Date_Of_Birth: '1990-02-16', e_mail: 'fathima_sheik.123@gmail.com', phone: '9000012345' } ]; // make a connection to the database MongoClient.connect(url, function(error, client) { if (error) throw error; console.log("Connected!"); // Connect to the database const database = client.db('myDb'); database.collection("sampleCollection").insertOne(firstDocument, function(error, res) { if (error) throw error; console.log("1 document inserted"); }); database.collection("sampleCollection").insertMany(documents, function(error, res) { if (error) throw error; console.log("Documents inserted: " + res.insertedCount); }); // close the connection client.close(); });
Output
Execute the mysql_example.js script using node and verify the output.
node mongodb_example.js Documents inserted: 3 1 document inserted
