MongoDB

Again, if you want to get the password ask Jun Jie or Johnny.

Concepts of datastore

Datastore is divided into three parts:

• MongoDB Instance: The instance create that is hosted in mongodb
• Database: A giant database under the instance that can store categories
• Collection: The actual data where you store things under the database

It might sound confusing at first. But this is how databases are structured so get used to it

Upload things to mongodb

You first paste this string

const uri = `mongodb+srv://xbot:${process.env.MONGO_DB_PASSWORD}@scoutingapp-intothedeep.s6jr6.mongodb.net/?retryWrites=true&w=majority&appName=ScoutingApp-IntoTheDeep`;
const client = new MongoClient(uri, {
  serverApi: {
    version: ServerApiVersion.v1,
    strict: true,
    deprecationErrors: true,
  },
});
const database = client.db("Your Database");
const collection = database.collection("Your Collection")
//Now there are methods you can do here like .insertOne 
// or .findOne, you can basically guess what the code does

Hopefully, you have setup your .env file or this code doesn't work. MongoDB should only be used with nextjs routers or pure scripts that interact with mongodb.
