To do so, call Connect: // // ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), 20*time.Second) // defer cancel() // client, err := mongo.Connect(ctx, options.Client().ApplyURI("mongodb://foo:bar@localhost:27017")) // if err != nil { return err } // // This will create a new client and start monitoring the MongoDB server on localhost. // The Database and Collection types can be used to access the database: // // collection := client.Database("baz").Collection("qux") // // A Collection can be used to query the database or insert documents: // // res, err := collection.InsertOne(context.Background(), bson.M{"hello": "world"}) // if err != nil { return err } // id := res.InsertedID // // Several methods return a cursor, which can be used like this: // // cur, err := collection.Find(context.Background(), bson.D{}) // if err != nil { log.Fatal(err) } // defer cur.Close(context.Background()) // for cur.Next(context.Background()) { // // To decode into a struct, use cursor.Decode() // result := struct{ // Foo string // Bar int32 // }{} // err := cur.Decode(&result) // if err != nil { log.Fatal(err) } // // do something with result... // // // To get the raw bson bytes use cursor.Current // raw := cur.Current // // do something with raw... // } // if err := cur.Err(); err != nil { // return err // } // // Cursor.All will decode all of the returned elements at once: // // var results []struct{ // Foo string // Bar int32 // } // if err = cur.All(context.Background(), &results); err != nil { // log.Fatal(err) // } // // do something with results... // // Methods that only return a single document will return a *SingleResult, which works // like a *sql.Row: // // result := struct{ // Foo string // Bar int32 // }{} // filter := bson.D{{"hello", "world"}} // err := collection.FindOne(context.Background(), filter).Decode(&result) // if err != nil { return err } // // do something with result... // // All Client, Collection, and Database methods that take parameters of type interface{} // will return ErrNilDocument if nil is passed in for an interface{}. // // Additional examples can be found under the examples directory in the driver's repository and // on the MongoDB website. // // Error Handling // // Errors from the MongoDB server will implement the ServerError interface, which has functions to check for specific // error codes, labels, and message substrings. These can be used to check for and handle specific errors. Some methods, // like InsertMany and BulkWrite, can return an error representing multiple errors, and in those cases the ServerError // functions will return true if any of the contained errors satisfy the check. // // There are also helper functions to check for certain specific types of errors: // IsDuplicateKeyError(error) // IsNetworkError(error) // IsTimeout(error) // // Potential DNS Issues // // Building with Go 1.11+ and using connection strings with the "mongodb+srv"[1] scheme is // incompatible with some DNS servers in the wild due to the change introduced in // https://github.com/golang/go/issues/10622. If you receive an error with the message "cannot // unmarshal DNS message" while running an operation, we suggest you use a different DNS server. // // Client Side Encryption // // Client-side encryption is a new feature in MongoDB 4.2 that allows specific data fields to be encrypted. Using this // feature requires specifying the "cse" build tag during compilation. // // Note: Auto encryption is an enterprise-only feature. // // The libmongocrypt C library is required when using client-side encryption. Specific versions of libmongocrypt // are required for different versions of the Go Driver: // // - Go Driver v1.2.0 requires libmongocrypt v1.0.0 or higher // // - Go Driver v1.5.0 requires libmongocrypt v1.1.0 or higher // // - Go Driver v1.8.0 requires libmongocrypt v1.3.0 or higher // // - Go Driver v1.10.0 requires libmongocrypt v1.5.0 or higher. // There is a severe bug when calling RewrapManyDataKey with libmongocrypt versions less than 1.5.2. // This bug may result in data corruption. // Please use libmongocrypt 1.5.2 or higher when calling RewrapManyDataKey. // // To install libmongocrypt, follow the instructions for your // operating system: // // 1. Linux: follow the instructions listed at // https://github.com/mongodb/libmongocrypt#installing-libmongocrypt-from-distribution-packages to install the correct // deb/rpm package. // // 2. Mac: Follow the instructions listed at https://github.com/mongodb/libmongocrypt#installing-libmongocrypt-on-macos // to install packages via brew and compile the libmongocrypt source code. // // 3. Windows: // // mkdir -p c:/libmongocrypt/bin // mkdir -p c:/libmongocrypt/include // // // Run the curl command in an empty directory as it will create new directories when unpacked. // curl https://s3.amazonaws.com/mciuploads/libmongocrypt/windows/latest_release/libmongocrypt.tar.gz --output libmongocrypt.tar.gz // tar -xvzf libmongocrypt.tar.gz // // cp ./bin/mongocrypt.dll c:/libmongocrypt/bin // cp ./include/mongocrypt/*.h c:/libmongocrypt/include // export PATH=$PATH:/cygdrive/c/libmongocrypt/bin // // libmongocrypt communicates with the mongocryptd process or mongo_crypt shared library for automatic encryption. // See AutoEncryptionOpts.SetExtraOptions for options to configure use of mongocryptd or mongo_crypt. // // [1] See https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/reference/connection-string/#dns-seedlist-connection-format package mongo
