We will jump in now.

Are you ready to connect to your MongoDB instance? Me too. Woohoo. I’m excited easily.

MongoDB helps you SEND the correct connection info, in a simple copy/paste workflow, explained below.

First, jump back to your MongoDB Atlas login.

In the the far right of your screen, you should see Connect. If you don’t, click on your Overview tab.

Click connect.

Click connect, now you get the same pop up menu we used in the previous lesson.

Find the ‘Connect with MongoDB Compass’ button.

Click me!

Once you’ve clicked on the button above, you get another menu.

Copy the above code into a notepad, brackets, notepad++, whatever you can quickly edit and keep track of.

Paste the code, and check out the screenshot below. I’m using photoshop to display an ‘editing’ of my username, and the red line is where you’re going to paste YOUR password.

Again, it doesn’t carry your password with it.

We are hunting to use this nice little functionality the developers at MongoDB generated for you to quickly do your user form.

An example of how I built this!

Once you’ve followed the above steps, it will auto fill your form! H311 yeah!

Open Compass again.

Mac users, it’s a leaf. Woot.

This pop-up covers your MongoDB Compass form. Click Yes.
