MongoDB CRUD Operations in Node.js
Learn how to perform basic CRUD operations with the MongoDB Node.js driver.
MongoDB CRUD Operations in Node.js
Unit Overview
In this unit, you will learn how to perform basic CRUD operations with Node.js. First, you will learn how BSON documents are expressed in Node.js. Then, you'll learn how to insert, query and retrieve, update, and delete documents in a Node.js application. Finally, you'll learn how to create a multi-document transaction.

Hi there and welcome! In this unit, you will learn how to perform basic CRUD operations for your Node.js application. CRUD stands for Create, Read, Update, and Delete.
I’m John. I'm a Curriculum Engineer here at MongoDB and will be working with you through this unit.
Using CRUD, you’ll be able to interact with your data in your Node.js application. A database is only useful if you can leverage the data.
In this unit, we’ll also cover how to create a multi-document transaction in Node.js so that you can ensure your operations are ACID compliant.
The lessons in this unit consist of video lectures followed by quiz questions or labs so that you can practice what you learned.
First, you will learn how BSON documents are expressed in Node.js by using documents.
Then, you’ll learn how to insert documents into our application.
You’ll also learn how to query and retrieve documents from a collection.
Next, you will learn how to update single and multiple documents.
Then, you’ll learn how to delete single or multiple documents.
Finally, you’ll learn how to create a multi-document transaction by using the callback API.
Before you begin this unit, you should have a basic understanding of: Node.js, The MongoDB database and document model, and Atlas.
You will also need to set up an Atlas account with a free tier cluster.
By the end of this unit, you will be able to describe how BSON documents are expressed in Node.js, perform basic CRUD operations in Node.js, and create a multi-document transaction.
