Exploring MongoDB with Compass

“

- [Instructor] When working with databases, having a graphical interface can make things much easier. For MongoDB, we'll use MongoDB Compass, a free tool provided by the creators of MongoDB. So I will just search for MongoDB Compass and here we go. And there you just have to download the version for your system. I already did that, so I can now start Compass. And once it's started, you will see a screen like that and there I click on add new connection. And there you already have the MongoDB default URL for local host, so this should all work, and I will just call it Course, so that's my connection for this course. And then I will just click on save, and then I can connect to this database. Once you have connected, you'll see a menu on the left with system collections and any databases available on your MongoDB instance. You can use MongoDB Compass throughout this course to explore your data easily and visually, making it a great companion to your learning.
