    📝  MongoDB Cluster Database URL

As Many people were having troubles on generating an MongoDB Cluster Database URL. Just follow these steps, and you are good to go!
Note : Please read The Official MongoDB Documentation since they have actual docs and details about how MongoDB actually works.
1) Making an Account


In order to create a database, You need to create an account in the cloud. You can Register through Here

2) Creating an Cluster


Once, you've registered yourself and made an account in the cloud. You can click on New Project then head over to the Clusters tab and hit on Build a Cluster


3) Connecting to the Cluster


As you created your first Cluster, You will need to whitelist your IP in order to connect to the database. First Click on the Connect button.


Then go ahead and WhiteList your IP by Adding it, Then create a Username and Password (You'll need them in order to connect to the db)


4) Choosing a connection Method


Since we are focused on creating the Application in order to get a database URL, Click on Connect your Application out of the three


5) Getting the Database Link


Once you hit Connect your Application. You will see an option to select your driver and the version. In my case, I am using Node.js.


After selecting your Driver and the Version, MongoDB will auto generate you a link for the database. You just need to Replace <password> with the password & Replace myFirstDatabase with the name of the database that connections will use by default.


✨ There you have it, You've successfully generated a MongoDB Cluster Database URL!


Note: You can Access your database by going into the Collections tab. Metrics Tab will show you seperate charts and graphs providing the info stored in your database
