#### Basics about MongoDB

- NoSQL database (i.e not relational, not made out of rows and columns)

- MongoDB uses collections and documents

- Collecions store a specific type  of data record e.g users, authors, books

- In a collection are documents

- documents have JSON format, but actually they are stored as bison

- It can be used to store nested documents

#### MongoDB-Compass Vs. MongoDB Atlas

- MongoDB-Compass: the local version

- MongoDB-Atlas: the online version. Use to make and host a cluster online. It an be connected to MongoDB Compass through a connection string.

#### Installing MongoDB Compass

-  https://www.mongodb.com/try/download/community

-  Make sure install mongoDB as a service is checked

-  install mongoDB shell from https://www.mongodb.com/try/download/shell

-  open terminal and type mongosh

-  show dbs

-  use database_name

-  inserting data from shell to mongodb:

-    - db database_name.collection_name e.g database_name is bookstore, collection_name is books

     - db.books.insertOne({title: "The Color of the Wind", author"Terry Henry", pages: 450, rating: 7, genres: ["fantasy", "magic"]}) --> inserting one document

     - db.books.inserMany({title: "The Color of the Wind", author"Terry Henry", pages: 450, rating: 7, genres: ["fantasy", "magic"]}, {title: "Va Va Voom", author"Mickey Mouse", pages: 234, rating: 9, genres: ["children", "magic"]}) ---> inserting many

- db.books.find()

- db.books.find({author: "Mickey Mouse"}) --> to filter

- db.books.find({author: "Mickey Mouse", rating: 7}) --> 2 filters
