Let me show you how we are going to connect our application to MongoDB right inside Visual Studio Code
and want to be like a playground to have the clear picture of our data without going into our MongoDB
dashboard.
So after installing, we're going to have this icon called MongoDB.
Click on that.
And here we have what is called connections and we can connect to two or more instances of our database.
But for our purposes, we are going to connect to only one database.
So our click on Add Connection.
And here, click on Connect.
And I'm going to paste the connection string that we created in the previous video.
So we inside the dot EMV, this is my connection string, so I'm going to copy.
And back to the MongoDB.
I'll click on Connect again and paste the connection string and I'm going to hit Enter.
You can see that connecting and it has been connected successfully.
And for this, we can also interact with our database right inside here by clicking on Create Playground,
and we can perform all the code operation.
But instead of this, we are going to use our express application to interact with it.
So if you click on the extension now you can see that we have the name of our database as the full stock
blog version one, and by default it has given these two collections admin and locale.
As you move on, we'll be able to see our database name and our collections or modules.
All right.
In this video, let's see how we are going to programmatically model our data.
