Ok guys - Here we will create a simple file that will connect to a local instance of Mongo and read data from the 'test' database.
Assumptions -
1 - A local Mongo server is running at port 27017 (default port)
Step 0 - Create a directory called 'testing' and cd into it.
Step 1 - Connect to mongo using a mongo shell
Step 2 - Add some data to a collection named 'heroes' in the test db.
use test
db.heroes.insert([{name: 'Super Man'}, {name: 'Bat Man'}])
Step 3 - Create a file called simple_connect.js and the following content to the file
Step 4 - If you haven't already installed the 'mongodb' module, run
npm install mongodb
Step 4 - Run
node simple_connect.js
