Node: mongoose.connect(uri)github.com/sahilkhaire/gox/mongo

Client.Connect

Overview

Connect dials uri.

If you are coming from Node.js, the closest pattern is mongoose.connect(uri).

Method on Client — call it on a value of that type after constructing or receiving one from a constructor.

Signature

go
func Connect(ctx context.Context, uri string) (*Client, error)

Compare: Node.js · Standard Go · gox

js
await mongoose.connect(uri);
go
client, err := mongo.Connect(ctx, options.Client().ApplyURI(uri))
go
import "github.com/sahilkhaire/gox/mongo"

client, err := mongo.Connect(ctx, uri)

Example

go
import "github.com/sahilkhaire/gox/mongo"

client, err := mongo.Connect(ctx, uri)

Tips

Pass context.Context as the first argument so cancellation and deadlines propagate correctly.

Standard library alternative

Use the standard library directly:

go
client, err := mongo.Connect(ctx, options.Client().ApplyURI(uri))
