All language subtitles for 006 CRUD_ Creating Documents_Downloadly.ir_en

This video will be the first

of the four CRUD operation videos.

So this first one is about creating new documents.

But before we start creating new documents,

let me actually address a concern that you might be having.

So maybe you're wondering,

why are we actually doing all this stuff in a terminal?

And how does this relate to our Express application

that we built in the last section?

Well, the answer for that is that right now,

I want you to learn the absolute fundamentals of MongoDB,

without the context of any application.

So really, completely outside of Node.js.

Because in theory, we could us MongoDB

with any other language or any other framework.

It doesn't have to be with Node.js,

and so I think it's actually a good idea

to learn MongoDB standing completely on its own,

without the context of any other language.

Okay?

Later on, we will of course connect

a MongoDB database with our application,

so that in the next section,

we can then actually start working with databases

inside of our Express application.

And by then we will use

a MongoDB driver just for Node Express,

so that we can use our JavaScript language

to interact with our MongoDB database.

All right?

But for now, let's just learn MongoDB without any of that.

All right?

So in the last lecture, we created a new database.

A new collection inside, called tours,

and then one new document in there.

Right?

Remember that?

And to do that, we used insert 1.

Remember that?

But now, let's actually create

two documents at the same time.

So that works like this.

db, with just again, the current database, then .tours,

which is the collection where we want

to add our new documents, and then .insertMany.

Okay?

And insertMany is gonna accept an array of multiple objects.

So an array, and then close it.

So an empty object, and that may actually

put the second empty object here also already,

and so all we need to do is to fill up these objects.

So name, this one is called The Sea Explorer.

It has a price of 497, and a rating of 4.8.

And then the next object.

Let's give it a name of The Snow Adventurer.

Which is one of the other nine tours that we have.

Then the price is a bit more expensive, 997.

And the rating is 4.9.

And actually, let's add another field here.

So, remember from the intro lecture

how I said that MongoDB documents are very flexible.

And so they do not all have to have the same structure.

Okay?

So we can have different fields in different documents.

And so let's add the difficulty here.

And set this one to easy.

Okay?

So that's it, let's hit return here.

And so we inserted two new documents,

and here we see the IDs that they got.

So these two auto-generated

unique identifiers for each of them.

Okay?

Now just to make sure, remember make db.tours.find,

and here indeed, we now have our three tours.

So that's the one we created in the last lecture,

and then the two that we just created.

Okay?

So that's actually it for this lecture,

just to recap, we used the insertMany function

to pass in an array of two objects,

or two documents that we wanted to create.

Okay?

So that's all I had for this one.

In the next one, we will then learn how to do

some advanced queries to search for data in our database.

So that's an exciting one, so let's move on immediately.
