Install

install the nuget package with command:

Install-Package MongoDB.Entities

Initialize

first import the package with using MongoDB.Entities;

then initialize the database connection like so:

Basic initialization

await DB.InitAsync("DatabaseName", "HostAddress", PortNumber);

Advanced initialization

await DB.InitAsync("DatabaseName", new MongoClientSettings()
{
    Server = new MongoServerAddress("localhost", 27017),
    Credential = MongoCredential.CreateCredential("DatabaseName", "username", "password")
});

this will only work for mongodb v4.0 or newer databases as it will use the SCRAM-SHA-256 authentication method. if your db version is older than that and uses SCRAM-SHA-1 authentication method, please click here to see how to connect or you may use a connection string to connect as shown below.

Using a connection string

await DB.InitAsync("DatabaseName",
    MongoClientSettings.FromConnectionString(
        "mongodb://{username}:{password}@{hostname}:{port}/?authSource=admin"));
