- // Package mongo provides a MongoDB Driver API for Go.
- //
- // Basic usage of the driver starts with creating a Client from a connection
- // string. To do so, call the NewClient and Connect functions:
- //
- // client, err := NewClient(options.Client().ApplyURI("mongodb://foo:bar@localhost:27017"))
- // if err != nil { return err }
- // ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), 20*time.Second)
- // defer cancel()
- // err = client.Connect(ctx)
- // if err != nil { return err }
- //
- // This will create a new client and start monitoring the MongoDB server on localhost.
- // The Database and Collection types can be used to access the database:
- //
- // collection := client.Database("baz").Collection("qux")
- //
- // A Collection can be used to query the database or insert documents:
- //
- // res, err := collection.InsertOne(context.Background(), bson.M{"hello": "world"})
- // if err != nil { return err }
- // id := res.InsertedID
- //
- // Several methods return a cursor, which can be used like this:
- //
- // cur, err := collection.Find(context.Background(), bson.D{})
- // if err != nil { log.Fatal(err) }
- // defer cur.Close(context.Background())
- // for cur.Next(context.Background()) {
- // // To decode into a struct, use cursor.Decode()
- // result := struct{
- // Foo string
- // Bar int32
- // }{}
- // err := cur.Decode(&result)
- // if err != nil { log.Fatal(err) }
- // // do something with result...
- //
- // // To get the raw bson bytes use cursor.Current
- // raw := cur.Current
- // // do something with raw...
- // }
- // if err := cur.Err(); err != nil {
- // return err
- // }
- //
- // Methods that only return a single document will return a *SingleResult, which works
- // like a *sql.Row:
- //
- // result := struct{
- // Foo string
- // Bar int32
- // }{}
- // filter := bson.D{{"hello", "world"}}
- // err := collection.FindOne(context.Background(), filter).Decode(&result)
- // if err != nil { return err }
- // // do something with result...
- //
- // All Client, Collection, and Database methods that take parameters of type interface{}
- // will return ErrNilDocument if nil is passed in for an interface{}.
- //
- // Additional examples can be found under the examples directory in the driver's repository and
- // on the MongoDB website.

- // Potential DNS Issues
- //
- // Building with Go 1.11+ and using connection strings with the "mongodb+srv"[1] scheme is
- // incompatible with some DNS servers in the wild due to the change introduced in
- // https://github.com/golang/go/issues/10622. If you receive an error with the message "cannot
- // unmarshal DNS message" while running an operation, we suggest you use a different DNS server.
