- a local MongoDB server
- a self-hosted MongoDB deployment URI
Add the connection
- Open Spanna.
- Click the add connection action in the left sidebar.
- Paste your MongoDB connection string.
- Name the connection clearly so it is easy to identify later.
- Save the connection.
Verify the connection
After saving:- expand the connection in the sidebar
- open a database
