00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:09,130
Let me show you how we are going to connect our application to MongoDB right inside Visual Studio Code

2
00:00:09,130 --> 00:00:17,320
and want to be like a playground to have the clear picture of our data without going into our MongoDB

3
00:00:17,350 --> 00:00:18,230
dashboard.

4
00:00:18,250 --> 00:00:23,530
So after installing, we're going to have this icon called MongoDB.

5
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:24,730
Click on that.

6
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:33,270
And here we have what is called connections and we can connect to two or more instances of our database.

7
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:37,150
But for our purposes, we are going to connect to only one database.

8
00:00:37,150 --> 00:00:40,030
So our click on Add Connection.

9
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,450
And here, click on Connect.

10
00:00:44,170 --> 00:00:49,450
And I'm going to paste the connection string that we created in the previous video.

11
00:00:49,450 --> 00:00:56,530
So we inside the dot EMV, this is my connection string, so I'm going to copy.

12
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,230
And back to the MongoDB.

13
00:00:59,260 --> 00:01:04,540
I'll click on Connect again and paste the connection string and I'm going to hit Enter.

14
00:01:05,990 --> 00:01:11,170
You can see that connecting and it has been connected successfully.

15
00:01:11,290 --> 00:01:18,850
And for this, we can also interact with our database right inside here by clicking on Create Playground,

16
00:01:18,850 --> 00:01:22,420
and we can perform all the code operation.

17
00:01:22,420 --> 00:01:28,890
But instead of this, we are going to use our express application to interact with it.

18
00:01:28,900 --> 00:01:37,600
So if you click on the extension now you can see that we have the name of our database as the full stock

19
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:45,820
blog version one, and by default it has given these two collections admin and locale.

20
00:01:46,060 --> 00:01:53,000
As you move on, we'll be able to see our database name and our collections or modules.

21
00:01:53,020 --> 00:01:53,550
All right.

22
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:58,720
In this video, let's see how we are going to programmatically model our data.
