Set up MongoDB Datastore and Debugging
Fullstack Social iOS NodeJS REST
As you're developing your applications, it's super helpful to visualize your database using external tools such as Robo3T, MongoDB Compass, or Sequel Pro. In this lesson, we'll go over first how to debug our data using the browser and debug mode in Visual Studio Code. Next I'll show you how to set up your server to store information in a database instead so that we can browse it using Robo 3T.

Hi Brian Can you use Robo 3T to input data? I wanted to create a ios app which just pulls/fetches data from the database without creating a web app view Hope that makes sense

You can right click on the collection pane and select insert new document (document is the name mongo uses for registry/row).

Hey Brian, mLab is not available for new registrations, I am trying to achieve these steps with MongoDB Atlas. It is not possible to log in with Robo3T using Atlas. At least I could not manage to do it. I am using cluster0 for database name, and trying to log in with my admin user. How does this work with Atlas? Thanks in advance: Greg

Hi Brian and others, I wanted to mention whitelisting your IP address. I followed these videos and to my own mistake forgot to whitelist my ip and I could not figure out why my database wasn't working. I did have it previously whitelisted but it has to be done periodically. Hopefully this advice may help some others who are stuck. Because I didn't whitelist my IP address I couldn't connect to the database and I could not connect to mongo db compass with the error connection to cluster closed.
