To add new fields click the small plus sign to the left of _id. When you click “INSERT DOCUMENT” you’ll be presented with a modal for you to describe the document you want to create. To insert a document first click on the collection you want to insert a document in, we click on demoCollection. Now we want to insert at least one document so our application has something to display on the front-end. For us it’s just our one collection demoCollection. Click the database you created and it will show you all the collections inside the database. Once you have created the database and collection you are taken back to the main screen and you should see your database name in the list of databases on the left. We gave our database the name demoDB and our collection demoCollection and click “CREATE DATABASE”. It will prompt you for both a database name and a collection because in MongoDB collection must be created before the database is created. There is also a “+” button in the bottom left hand corner which does the same thing. Now that you’re connected you’ll see a list of your existing databases listed on the left and a green “CREATE DATABASE” button. Now that we are connected to the database through Compass we can use the Compass GUI to create our database. We are working on localhost and have run MongoDB on the default port 27017 so we can accept all the defaults and just hit “Connect”.

It’ll prompt you for the host and a port number. We start by opening up MongoDB Compass and connecting to your database. For this tutorial we have used Compass Community Edition.
