Repository to help getting started with MongoDB Go driver connecting to MongoDB Atlas.
This Get-Started project uses MongoDB Go driver version 1.9.0 by default. Although you can change the driver version, the provided code example was only tested against the default version of MongoDB driver. There is no guarantee that the code sample will work for all possible versions of the driver.
Have Docker running on your machine. You can download and install from: https://docs.docker.com/install/
In order to execute the code example, you need to specify MONGODB_URI environment variable to connect to a MongoDB cluster. If you don't have an existing cluster, you can create one by signing up MongoDB Atlas Free-tier M0.
Execute the helper shell script followed by the MongoDB URI that you would like to connect to.
./get-started.sh "mongodb+srv://usr:pwd@example.mongodb.net/dbname?retryWrites=true"
To use a different driver version, specify the driver version after the MongoDB URI. For example:
./get-started.sh "mongodb+srv://usr:pwd@example.mongodb.net/dbname?retryWrites=true" 1.8.3
You can invoke a terminal session within the Docker environment using the following command. From the top level directory, execute:
docker run -it -v "$(pwd):/workspace" -w /workspace/go ghcr.io/mongodb-developer/get-started-go "sh"
