• This is a collection of code that connects to a MongoDB Atlas database via Mongo and Mongoose commands.
• The CRUD CLI uses Mongoose to list, add, delete and edit todos in a database collection at MongoDB Atlas.
• Below are instructions on how to restrict a MongoDB Atlas user to only be able to read/write to a specific database collection.

setup

• clone locally
• npm i
• create MongoDB Atlas database e.g. "test001-cli"
• create a collection in that database called "todos"
• create an .env file:

MONGO_ATLAS_CLUSTER_URL = cluster0.EXAMPLE.mongodb.net
MONGO_USER = nnn
MONGO_PASSWORD = nnn
MONGO_DATABASE = nnn
MONGO_COLLECTION = nnn

execute

• node index_mongo.js - displays data from MongoDB Atlas collection using Mongo commands
• node index_mongoose.js - displays data from MongoDB Atlas collection using Mongoose commands
• npm run todos - a CRUD CLI that lists, adds, deletes and edits todos in a MongoDB Atlas collection

set up a MongoDB user that only has read/write access to a specific database and collection

Note that you have to create both a (1) Custom Role and (2) Specific Privileges:
